hi all can anyone tell me what is the best combat helicopter flight sim, not for it being realistic, more for enjoyment realy thanks guys take care
I don't think there's been anything in that genre since Novalogic's Commanche series. I'm having lots of fun with the helicopters in ARMA 2 though.
I'd say ARMA 2 is quite fun, but Battlefield 2 helicopters were always good fun for me. Perhaps you might like to try Operation Flashpoint 2, although I don't have any experience with it.
I only flew a heli in OFP2 once. Singleplayer, and it wasn't very good IMO. BF2 seems to have the best/most enjoyable helicopters, in a non helicpoter game. I saw commanche 4 or something on steam the other day. Don't know how good it is, but if its cheap, might be worth a punt.
The ones on Operation Flashpoint were pretty reasonable - grab yourself a joystick and pedals and away you go!
You could try Black Shark and just turn off the realisim. The Comanche series by Novalogic were good fun, the last one was Comanche4 but I don't know if it will run on current operating systems/hardware.
+1. I have DCS: Black Shark, and it's a great sim. You can play as a casual flier, or ramp up the realism should you want a tougher challenge, so you get the best of both worlds for your hard earned.
cheers guys, i might try a few of those games, any chance they will work in windows 7 thanks again take care
Black Shark might be your best bet as its a fairly new game, release earlier this year I think. You might hit problems with the older games but I'm afraid that the only way you will find out is to try them - or find someone who has.
