what can be more leet then rescuing 19 people from a burning building then crashing them into a fire as you parachute to safety?

the water is undermodeled it should wash them right off the top of the building

I don't think there's anything out there that even comes close to simulating a helicopter accurately. With standard joystick controls and an accurate model you'd crash the thing every single time within 10 seconds of getting airborne.

They are not sensible machines, they basically want to crash all the time and its only a combination of pilot willpower and the earth being so repelled by them that keep them in the air.

The real answer is that Comanche vs. Hokum has been modded like hell by the sim community

The source tree is also available:

The source code release has had a profound effect on the game, here's a breakdown of the mod stuff:

Frankly, the dynamic campaign is much more gripping than Falcon's. You can fly resupply, you can fly the HIND, you can fly Blackhawks and drop troops in.

The flight model is about on par with Longbow. It's plenty hard on full realism, esp. when you are fighting and trying to coordinate your wingmen to do pop-up attacks over a treeline. The Apache is esp. great at this, as you might imagine.

They really miss having a AH-6 for recon, but the Comanche itself is faster and has a periscope so it's the star of that role in the game.

Damn, meant to edit my post - not followup.

Anyhow, you will need Visual Studio from Microsoft in order to compile the game and know a bit about how to compile window project files.

the people that make LOMAC,a pretty complex modern jet sim are making a helicopter add on or maybe whole new game that just works with lomac. its called 'black shark'..modelling a russian chopper. pretty detailed supposed to be out in the fall.
