LLv34_Flanker Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 S! Many of you propably remember the hardcore helo sim(for it's time) Longbow? Well, now something new is coming, Combat-Helo. Has been in the making for a while already, Steam Greenlighted and soon entering Beta. No flashy graphics, but the simulation is that counts. Take a peek here: http://www.combat-helo.com/
DD_bongodriver Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Been looking at this one for a couple of years now, looks good but the dev has said he would never bother with oculus support and that is where my interest vanished.
LLv34_Flanker Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 S! A shame as OR would propably give a whole new dimension to that simulator, literally! But I still like it being a simulator from the start, not an arcade shooter. Looks the guys have put lot of effort to get the details right. I can stand a bit "dated" graphics if everything else is rock solid aka simulation of things.
Brano Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Must check at home.I remember Mi24 Hind as my first "true" helo sim.Chasing mujahedins all over the place.And from stone age,really first helo sim/game = Tomahawk for 8bits (mine was Atari 800)
LLv34_Flanker Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 S! I still have Hind on the shelf. I really liked that one along with Longbow. Uuuh, a re-make of Hind would be nice, with older Hind and the new Mi-35. Slap in Mi-28N and I throw out some money
SOLIDKREATE Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I wish a dedicated AH-1Z Viper SIM would come out.
1PL-Husar-1Esk Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I started with Gunship 2000 on Amiga 500.
LLv34_Flanker Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 S! Those were the times. Going to follow this Combat Helo closely, very interesting.
johncage Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Been looking at this one for a couple of years now, looks good but the dev has said he would never bother with oculus support and that is where my interest vanished. because the great sims of the late 90s and early aughts totally needed oculus rift to be awesome.
DD_bongodriver Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 because the great sims of the late 90s and early aughts totally needed oculus rift to be awesome. Not sure what you mean, the combat-helo game the OP talks about is not from the 90's, it's still in development.
dburne Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Oh man, I have such fond memories of the original Longbow ( DOS), and then Longbow 2 ( Windows). I logged many an hour flying Longbow 2, it had to be right up there amongst my favorite combat sims of all time. In fact I still have both in boxes, tucked away in the archives ( boxes in the loft). Matter of fact, the year I believe was 1996, I spent a few days in the hospital due to surgery, and passed a lot of the time away reading that most awesome Janes manual. Those were definitely the days! Edited November 2, 2014 by dburnette
LLv34_Flanker Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 S! Longobw-series was great. And so was Hind.
