This just appeared on FB. Unless it’s been announced previously and I’d missed it. Might be a nice easier option to DCS’ Apache lol

I like easy.

I am agnostic about “easy”. But I will probably relish any sim that realizes that the game is as important as the flying. Gunship 2000 was a decent game. Give me that and I’ll be on this one like white on rice. (Nobody says that anymore. Probably just as well. It does give off an uncomfortable vibe.)

It’s probably one of the least popular rice variants these days.
I personally haven’t eaten it since the 90s. That and white bread. There are just so many superior options for rice and bread.
True, but “I was all over that like brown on the better sort of rice” lacks the flow and alliteration of the original.

Heh its funny (and insane) how white rice is cheaper, less healthy yet takes more steps to produce than brown or unbroken rice. Madness.

Read up on the Japanese Navy and beriberi if you’d like some further white rice craziness.

At least that one didn’t spy on you.

That’s sweet. Odd word maybe. But it suits. Two brothers working together to build a classic style sim. Good for them. I’m good. I’ve got DCS and VTOLVR. There isn’t much need in my life for a resource-lite, realism-lite combat sim UNLESS…
Unless it is wrapped around a story and a tightly scripted campaign. Years ago there was Apache Air Assault for PC and XBOX. I enjoyed the snot out of that experience, for a week or so anyway. Fortunately there is a vast market out there that isn’t me. I hope they find it.

Or did it?
Sounds like a lot of easy entertainment.
It’s ability to spy on me, at least, was probably impaired by the fact the computer wasn’t connected to the internet (which existed, but wasn’t common in homes where I lived back then)
Back then there was no data driven marketing economy, so even if they had collected user data, it wouldn’t have been a business. The pivot to surveillance capitalism is Satya Nadella’s brainchild.
