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.

Don't you remember the show???  He used to hit the afterburners and pull into a loop.



This is why I am glad I have not seen any of the shows I enjoyed as a kid, kind of like the A Team, Knight Rider....they are just too sucky in my older age

I'll have to check out the MS Flight sim stuff and look for the apache Vs. stuff.

I have always been fascinated by something so ugly the earth repels it.  

Some of the sims (read GAMES) I had tried years ago didn't do justice to the 'copter.  With the level of flight sims we have now it would be nice to fly something that takes more than just point the stick and it goes.  


BTW thanks guys and great to see handles in here I haven't seen in awhile!

I play Gunship, game that i got in a "War 3 pack" which also included Nam and WW2.  It's a pretty basic game, very much so a sim (unlimited ammo and invincibility) and you can design your own missions.  I like to make my own and stack up tons of tanks and what not and just go to town.

Here's a hint: Spin the camera and it looks like the earth is spinning.

I know what you mean about shows looking sucky today. I remember trying to tell my Dad about this great new show about these mercinaries that escaped from a high security prison and were hiding in LA. The look on his face has to be identical to the look on mine when A-Team reruns come on today.

You just need to load dual boot Win98 and you can run Apache Longbow 2.

It wont work with 2k or xp.
