VMFA117_Poko Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Every day we are closer to Black Shark releasing day. I worry about coming new challenge, how long will I learn to fly this damn chopper. I'm trying to remember myself some interesting heli sims which took many hours from my life. LHX - First what I remember about heli sim. Was to young to take better look. Gunship 2000 - No need to say. Everyone must know it. Classic made by Microprose - legendary developer of many great sims. Apache Longbow - I liked feeling of modern battlefield presented by developers with nicely recorded radio comms. Fine training in Fort Worth scenerio, great campaigns. This position is my favorite. I spend months playing. Hind - game sister of Apache Longbow. I believe this is the first sim of soviet chopper (not sure for 100%). What is your favorite simulation of military helicopter and why? Maybe there is smth you'd like to see in BS?
Dudikoff Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Razorworks Apache/Havoc & Comnche/Hokum. Dynamic campaign, nice graphics, bit simplified, still active modding community. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg. DISCLAIMER: My posts are still absolutely useless. Just finding excuses not to learn the F-14 (HB's Swansong?). Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar!
eric37a Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Definitely the Razorworks Enemy Engaged series. It was a pretty complete sim when it realeased, and although a bit simplified, the mods keep making it more and more realistic. Arneh, just figured out how to make a decent start up sequence instead of pushing one button and you're flying. He also added autorotation. I'm amazed how much has been done every time I play it.

molevitch Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Best Helo Sim I have been simming since zx spectrum(!) days. But seriously, I have very fond memories of Hind / Apache series by Digital Integration (cant believe I remembered that company's name!). I have tried the modded version of EECH, but I seem to always end up in a Hind with a non-functional MFD in a cockpit that looks like it was made out of leftovers. Still pretty good though, and I loved it when it first came out. Looking forward to Black Shark of course, but the start up routine looks pretty high maintenance. I hope it will be playable as well as authentic. :pilotfly: SCAN Intel Core i9 10850K "Comet Lake", 32GB DDR4, 10GB NVIDIA RTX 3080, HP Reverb G2.
