2: COCKPITS As systems and weapons technology grow increasingly complex, flying a helicopter becomes a more difficult task. Pilots constantly have to scan 360° for threats while keeping both hands and feet on the controls at all times. And over the last few years, targeting, night vision and display systems have added new gauges, switches, displays and controls. The size of the helicopter cockpit and its panels hasn’t increased much to accommodate these new avionic systems. This has necessitated a more automated cockpit in which instrument readings are displayed onscreen and system adjustments are controlled by a computer. Before your first takeoff, read the following descriptions of the aircrafts’ instrumentation and systems. You can fly either the AH-64D Longbow Apache, the Longbow without Radar, the Kiowa Warrior or the Black Hawk in any mission. Game vs. Reality The heart of Longbow 2 is its level of realism. Actual Apache pilots have logged hours testing the game, giving the development team valuable feedback on how the helicopter should handle and how the weapons should act. Dozens of notebooks full of manufacturing specs, physics, operating characteristics, aerodynamics and other resources were used as well, resulting in a nearly perfect simulation of helicopter flight. Cockpit. The real Longbow Apache and Kiowa Warrior have separate cockpits for the pilot and co-pilot/gunner, as does the game. The CP/G functions (target sighting, prioritization and countermeasures) are automated in the single-player game, although you can also take direct control over them by adjusting game options. In a multi-player game, a different player can man each position. The Black Hawk has only one cockpit, but a door gunner station is modeled, which allows the player to take the part of a crew member manning one of the two pintle-mounted guns on either side of the Black Hawk’s body. Flight Dynamics. The dynamics in Longbow 2 match the actual helicopter and have been aeronautically designed to correctly respond to control inputs and external physics. However, because piloting a helicopter — in reality and in this game — is not easy, you have the option of setting the level of realism (and thus difficulty) you prefer. (See OPTIONS menu in the Install Guide for details.) Terrain. The maps used in this game were generated from actual U.S. Geological Survey maps and offer a variety of interesting combat environments. Perspectivecorrection technology also adds detail to the terrain and gives hills and canyons smooth edges. Weapons. In the Longbow Apache, the TADS system automatically rotates the M230 Chain Gun (as the actual Longbow does) as you slew the camera. (You can view this in the exterior camera views.) Additionally, the weapons for all aircraft have realistic dynamics, graphical effects and operational ranges. 2.1
