I am sorry to report that I am unable to play this wonderful game at this time. Janes LB 2 in one of the top flight sims of all time.In terms of realistic flight model and missions no other games can compare. (With the exception of Janes LB Gold) To play this sim you must have an old computer. Preferably an old Pentium 233 class system. My old system that I used to play this sim on was a Pentium 233 w/MMX technology,128 megs ram,a 3DFX Voodoo2 8 meg video card. Sound Blaster AWE 32 sound card,16X CD-Rom and Windows 98 SE. This game really rocked with my old system.I am thinking of resurrecting it in hopes that LB2 will fly again. Now,all of this being said,If you have a classic gamers rig (like I mentioned above) you will not find a better helicopter sim anywhere. You just may have to do some tweaking and some studying online. There are a number of site available that try and tackle the problem of getting it to run in a modern computer. Some are successful and some are not. I was one of the latter... For me, it was worth a gamble to buy it in hopes that it would run.If anyone has any ideas on making this game work please contact me through e-bay. Bottom line here is: This was the greatest Helicopter sim of all time bar none and I miss playing it. I am open to any and all suggestions.Read full review
I used to have this game many years ago and decided to get it again (on EBay). But setting it up on Win 7 through 10 is a pain, so I am having an old retro system built just to play this flight sim.

It's a great sim. Although it doesn't want to work on my newer computer. Might have to invest in an older computer to get it to run with no glitches. I owned this sim in the mid 90s and it's as much fun now as it was back then.

Longbow 2 is a helicopter simulator, with four great model to fly. there is the utility UH-60 blackhawk for transport and rescue, there is the OH-58 Kiowa scout, there is the AH-64 Apache and AH-64D Longbow Apache. There is a easy mode, and there is a true simulation mode. This is one of the best simulators that I have played. You can play this on newer Windows 8 systems, however you will need to download some game patches to do so.
Im playing it/ flying it/ running it on a Win 7 laptop using XP s-pac3 compatibility and its working, the intro graphics are pixelated but who cares in the game its all good. there are patches out there if you dont mind taking the time.
