Has any of you ever played Enemy engaged: Commanche vs Hokum, and/or Apache vs Havoc? That is a great chopper sim...

Haven't had much time to review the sim, but I installed it and ran the first mission on auto-pilot. It's decent enough to play and the mission was heavily scripted. No multi-player and only 10 missions. The UH-1B Huey gunship is nicely detailed and the cockpit is detailed also. But it's kind of hard to handle on realistic settings with rotor vibrations and all. I took off the auto-pilot and succeeded in removing the landing skids and the tail rotor. You can change stations on the chopper- pilot, co-pilot or either the left or right door gunner. The gunner positions are cool. It's hard to see Charlie or the NVA and only when tracers fly at you then you know they're there.
