forlorn

I have the same issue.

Well, I can't log in the main page, so I can't download the startup video. :(

Mhm, I read somewhere here that there will be a mission campaign, but things you destroy on one mission will be destroyed on the following missions. I can't find the thread currently.

Actually the AH-64D is two variants with the same name. All AH-64A were upgraded to the D standard - cockpit, avionics, mfd and so on - but according to Pentagon data 2/3 of them will not get the radar and the new engines. Data is 2 years old, don't know current plans though. But army.mil shows pictures with the Apache without radar described as AH-64D Longbow.

Yes, in Desert Storm Apaches were covered by F-4, A-7, A-6 and F/A-18 with UAVs and Shrike/ Standard/ Harm.

Huh?

As far as I heard from guys who saw Apaches in Kosovo the Apaches had alot of trouble with the terrain, winds and their own size in that terrain.

I can't access my windows install currently, however the model looks very good ingame.

I voted Jaguar, however I would like to see A-6. But it's a medium attack and out of service. :(

OT: Hehe, SH4 with ROW-mod looks like reality.

Is there a download version planned? (cause I hate dongles like other highend military simulations) MultiCore is not supported yet but planned? Will FC and BS be compatible as far as multiplaying is concerned?

As far as g-force is concerned don't forget that the missile is also most of the time twice as fast as a fighter, so the the radius of a missile doing mach 2 with 12g is way bigger than a fighter doing a turn with 9g at mach 0.8. ;) Most stories I read about AIM7 kills were in range between 10 to 3 nm, can't remember any number for AIM120 though.

Mhm, why do you need a 1200W PSU? Wasting money and ruining environment?

The thing is that actually there is no helicopter sim out there that is up-to-date. For sure you can play Longbow2 or EECH, but one is very old and on modern PC hard to install and play, the other is not really that nice as far as multiplaying, widescreen support and modable is concerned. BS will be the #1 helosim out there for years since years. ;) Also the system requirements on flightsim were ALWAYS the highest since I play on the PC. Age of Empires never needed as much power as Falcon4 (hurray 16fps over FLOT). DI's Tornado always needed more power than Days of Tentakles.

I personally think those general air-to-anything aircraft are not really good. The problem is not only technical but also from the pilot base. Every airforce/navy in the world should still have their ADF and mudmover. I fear the day when the German IDS will be replaced by the Eurofighter.

EECH with the community patches has better avionics, flight model, physics, graphics, sound and gameplay than EECH2, also more flyable helicopters. Plus the developers actually discuss the next steps with the community ( mainly on simhq ), and information and data provided by the community will find it's way in the patches.

I have a quadcore, it would be nice to have multithreaded cpus supported.
