there are two reasons why one must never shoot at an american flyboy's helicopter. number 1: they get pissed when they get shot at. number 2: they may have friends nearby who would love nothing more than to give you an ass kicking. therefore, it is wise to never EVER mess with the flyboys.
I did play this game for 2 years every single day for at least 2 hours,, i try enemy engaged but is just not the same,,, any idea how to get it ,, and if is posible to make it run on window 7??????
@Fleax1973 yeah, i just acquired the sim and found out you have to run it in COMPATIBILITY MODE, AS WINDOWS XP-WITH SP3. Let me know if you need help doing that.
@Fleax1973 yeah, i just acquired the sim and found out you have to run it in COMPATIBILITY MODE, AS WINDOWS XP-WITH SP3. Let me know if you need help doing that. wouldnt even run in my windows 7 machine until i did that. runs like a champ now. brings back some hella memories of my good ol Army days.
@cs512tr Tell me about it; those were the golden days - I still remember getting up early on the weekends to play ATF or Longbow; You know Janes or more accurately, a company under their name released a new release? Advanced Strike Fighters?
From what I've heard; its just a bust, trying to mooch off of the Janes name
@Breakerchase IF i still had LB2 I would play that. EECH looks and plays very well especially when updated with the full patch from eechcentral [dot] com. The huge dynamic campaigns are just awesome.
But it has some flaws like the pretty dumb AI (even on hard) and repetetive missions. I allways know there are gonna be 2 AAs, 3 Tanks and some vehicles on a junktion waiting to be killed and thats it most of the time. That's what allways bothered me.
I think I literally lost weeks, if not months of my childhood to LB 1, LB 2 and USNF 97. These were the best games of all time. Janes Sims were the gold standard.
I wasn't calling this game lame as hell, the thought of cobra's flying with hinds were. I saw the fucking flag prick, given this is animation that doesn't really mean much. If you'd just been cool, told me I was wrong and that Iran has cobras, I'd said my bad. But nooo, you gotta run your mouth and tell me what the fuck to do without thinking about maybe taking the high road. Seriously, who'd ever thought Iran would end up with american made gunships? I sure never heard that obviously.
If you new anything about the Iranian airforce, you wouldn't call it lame. The Iranian airforce has a bunch of both the MI-24 Hinds and Cobras. And if you knew anything about a strategic attack, this part would make total sence.
Can't you see the Iranian flag on the Cobra? The US forces in this intro scene is fighting Iran, and Iran is known to have Cobras as well as Hinds. Do some research before you say bullshit like that.
OK, who called this game lame on the sole basis of seeing a Cobra with a bunch of Hinds? Who accused the game designers of not knowing shit, because somebody here doesn't know that Iran has both Hinds and Cobras, which is a well-established fact (on top of that, not being able to spot a nice big Iranian flag on the Cobra that is shown clearly and zoomed up close)?
What made thiese two games so great was that they were like flying strategy games. If they made a game that was the exact same thing as longbow 2 except with modern graphics, that would be the best game ever
Well, the newest combat helicopter flight sim is the Digital Combat Simulator: Black Shark from Eagle Dynamics (Flanker series, Lock On/LO: Flaming Cliffs). You can find videos around. Although not sure about A2A encounters.
Anybody can write here the radio communications? My english is very poor and I don't understand what do chopper pilots say... "...break right..." twice. And after? :)
Foxtrot 5 1, this is Archer lead, I've got a lock on bogues, maintain your current heading, over. Roger, I don't know how long I can keep these guys off me. Roger, Archer 2 on my mark with cannon. Let's ? the pack a little. Archer lead, I've got a lock on the hind, Stinger away.

Tango 7-3 this is Foxtrot 5-1 be advised we're shooting to secondary location *lock noise*
Tango 7-3 be advised we're being engaged by enemy helicopters , taking evasive action
Foxtrot 5-1 this is Tango 7-3, Roger, vectoring (?) support area. Over
i LOVED THE SOUN OF THE .50 CAL MACHINE CUN OF THE APACHE AND THE MINIGUN OF THE BLACK HAWK . AH SURELY MISS THOSE DAYS , DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THO PLAY IT ON XP
Yes, but the Iranians have Western military hardware from when they were on friendly terms (before the Iranian revolution, when the Shah was in power).
Lol..is that a hind? Looks like a Cobra to me hahah.

The Apache uses a 30 mm chain cannon. More damaging than a .50 calibre gun.
I believe it's the Kiowa that uses a .50 cal Browning.
