joey45 Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 No GPS, no AMMS, no inertial, only paper maps, nav rulers and nav plans. This teaches quick-tempered, technocrat rookie pilots IRL to stay cool, navigate and fulfill a mission either when GPS sats are down, AMMS has a few cal .50 holes on the display and INS always blows its fuse:P. I hope there will be possible to print the map in BS, at least in 1:500k scale... well, I might be lazy to use it instead of ABRIS:D. Old skool rules. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

leroy1964 Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Longbow? I think the Longbow is a long, long, loooooooooooooong ways off if ever. The newest A upgrades should have a GPS, but the A also always had a DNS (same as the Black Shark's primary navigation instrument. Turn the ABRIS off and see how you do with the PVI-800. Old-shcool.) Just for conversation, I am old enough to remember the old amiga version of "Gunship" and later the PC versions of Longbow etc and loved them all. I often wonder why there has been no recent games based on the Longbow even a possible release of a revamped "Gunship" I am sure the game would be as popular now as it was back then,:thumbup: Cheers
GGTharos Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I still have it :D Just for conversation, I am old enough to remember the old amiga version of "Gunship" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
edward1976 Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I'd just like to note: I really like the sound of the name Digital Combat Simulator: Apache. To me it just speaks of good things to come! :) No, this bad name. The good name Digital Combat Simulator: AH-1W Super Cobra MARINES :thumbup:

edward1976 Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Nah, Digital Combat Simulator: Longbow Mk. 1 sounds much better. No! On caucasus with Russia will come to be at war Turkey and USMC USA, at them on arms AH-1, instead of AH-64. ;)

Endoplasmic Reticulum Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) Its the Bible MK2. Sorry. I'm not religious :D. But it would'nt harm to learn about other cultures, right?

wickedpenguin Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) I just finished reading Apache. That was a literary religious experience if I ever had one. One thing I took out of it is that flying a combat helicopter is 95% situational awareness, scouting, and teamwork, and 5% actually shooting things. You don't get into a fight unless you've got a good idea what you're up against, who you're working with, and who's got your back. That, and that combat pilots are more creative than most artists. BTW, when is someone going to make a mod where we strap pair of Spetsnaz or Russian Naval Infantry to our Black Shark's wings? :) Edited September 26, 2009 by wickedpenguin [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
