Description
In the early days of flying "barnstormer" pilots flew by
the seat of their pants - following roads and
rivers, even dipping down to mad roadsigns! That
grand tradition of individual flying is found today
among helicopter pilots. They love getting down
among the hills and trees to do some "interesting"
flying.
Just flying a helicopter is loads of fun, but hem at
MicroProse we wanted more. We wanted to fly a combat
helicopter in simulated battle conditions, All kinds
of battles: from guerilla wars to a hypothetical
USA-USSR war in Europe. Pop over a hill, launch a
Hellfire, dodge a SAM, jam a ZSU's radar, then duck
behind cover again. "GUNSHIP" is a simulation of
everything we wanted.
Now you can experience the danger, excitement
courage, and agony of real combat helicopter flying
- without the bloodshed and suffering that occur in
real warfare. GUNSHIP portrays actual ground scales,
flight speeds and weapons systems. The AH-64A is the
"highest tech" helicopter flying today, complete
with lasers, cameras, night viewers, infra red and
radarwamings, jammers, computers, composite
materials, engine signature suppressors, and a
plethora of weapons. The TADS(Target Aquisition &
Designation Sight) system is a computerized fire
control system, also simulated within yourcomputer!
Faithfully reproducing the AH-64A systems,
capabilities, and limitations was an enormous
undertaking, Creating GUNSHIP took much longer than
we expected.
We're sum you'll agree our time was well spent
GUNSHlP is the most detailed and realistic
simulation of combat helicopter flying ever for home
computer. For us. it's the next best thing to
joining the US Army and flying the real aircraft So
grab your IHADSS helmet, jump into the cockpit and
swing into action with our AH-64AA Apache gunship!
