LONGBOW 2
How to Use This Chapter
This chapter covers the cockpit and system features of all three flyable helicopters — the Longbow,
Kiowa Warrior and Black Hawk. If a particular section applies to a specific helicopter, you’ll see its
name in bold letters, between horizontal lines like this.
Aircraft Overview, below, gives a description of the cockpits, IHADSS, MFDs,
master modes and other cockpit items in the three aircraft of Longbow 2.
Integrated Helmet Display and Sight System, p. 2.12, introduces the IHADSS,
the heart of the Longbow cockpit.
IHADSS Flight Symbology, p. 2.14, explains the intricacies of each IHADSS
mode and defines what each element in the display means. Relevant key
commands are given as well.
Multi-Function Displays, p. 2.24, describes the different pages you can bring up
in the small MFDs mounted in the cockpit dash of each aircraft. Each page gives
different information (such as targeting, navigation, damage, engine info, radar
returns, weapons stores, etc.).
Co-Pilot/Gunner (Front Seat) Cockpit, p. 2.51, introduces the co-pilot/gunner
cockpit and its functions in the Longbow and Kiowa, and gives detailed information
about the Longbow’s Optical Relay Tube display.
Targeting and Sight Systems, p. 2.46, discusses the details of the Longbow’s
Target Acquisition and Designation System (TADS), Longbow Fire-Control Radar
(FCR), the Kiowa’s Mast-Mounted Sight (MMS) and the night vision systems used
by the aircraft.
Black Hawk Analog Cockpit, p. 2.54, covers those elements specific to the
Black Hawk cockpit which use traditional analog controls and gauges rather than
the more advanced digital electronics systems of the Longbow or Kiowa.
View Controls, p. 2.56, defines all the cockpit and external views you can use
during the game.
