Lomac : Black Shark comes out early next year, looks nice and should sit firmly in Sim land, its actually the next add-on for the Lock-On Jet Sim

(but will it include starforce? only time will tell)

Sadly no. Havn't been able to get it to run on my rig either. If anyone knows how, i'd love to fire the old girl up.

Apache vs Havoc, if you can find it, is still fun. I have the source code but have no idea what to do with it.

As was Comanche vs Hokum... was always a good series that captured vertical flight pretty well. Only reason I ever stopped playing it was that the joystick setup for it conflicts with AH.

I always thought a Airwolf helicopter Flight sim would be pretty cool.  

I enjoyed flighing it around in MS flight simulator 2004.  Just wish you could fire the guns and rockets in that game :cry

Concerning Airowlf....

After the show was cancelled the modifications were removed. The aircraft was repainted and eventually sold to the German helicopter charter company, Hubschrauber-Sonder-Dienst (aka HSD Luftrettung and Blue Helicopter Alliance), and given the registration number D-HHSD[1]. Airwolf, as a plain Bell 222 air ambulance, crashed in a thunderstorm on 1991-06-09, killing her three passengers.

The 222 has a teetering rotor system... no way they ever did flips with it (assuming that was a serious question). I'm sure they used models for many of the tricks they did. I remember them speeding up the film an awful lot. ;)


ROC, one of my most favorite things to fly in FS2004 was the "Little Nellie" Wallis gyrocopter. Didn't get anywhere fast, but sure was fun. :)
