Take the world's most advanced attack helicopter: the AH-64D Longbow, and annihilate your enemies! With the most authentic helicopter flight model up to date, detailed simulation of the milimeter wave radar on the Longbow, along with plenty of other weapon systems including your chain gun, FFAR rocket pods, Stinger missiles, anti-radar missiles, and more. Excellent terrain graphics. Command a wingman to assist you, and take on the Soviet-block equipment in multiple campaigns and historical missions including Panama and Desert Storm! If you're nostalgic, you can also fly the AH-64A version without the radar. It had the most authentic flight model for a helicopter (for its time), and every aspect of the electronics systems were meticulously detailed. The weapons had realistic operational ranges and limits, and all friendly and enemy units were strictly based on their real-life counterparts. A wingman helps the player, and the player takes on Russian equipment in multiple single missions and campaigns, as well as a handful of historically-accurate missions in which it is possible to 're-live' memorable battles. Longbow Gold came out in March 1997, and is a compilation pack of the AH-64D Longbow and Flash Point: Korea add-on. It is also fully patched and updated to include a Windows executable, so you are no longer limited to MS-DOS use. Also included is the 3DFX update, which converts the whole sim to Glide mode. |
