What are the most recent Helicopter Flight Sims in the PC (and any consoles for that matter)?
Looking at the recently added Gunship 2000 screenshots on the site I now have an urge to see what the most recent helicopter sims are like.
And also are there any recent arcade shooter style helicopter games? Like Desert Strike.

Just had a quick browse around and Commanche 4 looks good (A bit old as its 2002 but still>). For a Strike looking game try Enemy Engaged 2
here.
If you try Gunship2000 try the AGA version as it's easier to use than the CD32 game. Howwever there is a bug that hits during later group mission where you can't hit anything although your group can so just order them to attack.

I played both the AGA and CD32 versions of Gunship 2000 back at the time and really enjoyed them. I've still got the original of the CD32 version. I preferred the AGA version because when installed to HD it was faster loading, but also with a faster CPU the 3D engine was much smoother. The save game functionality was better too.
BTW, if mentioned it before on the forum, but did you know that a friend of mine created the artwork for the game? He still has the original artbrush artwork and has promised he will get it drum scanned for us soon.
I'm sure I have Commanche 4. Will have to have a dig about in my collection. I'm sure I got it bundled with some hardware a long time ago. Cheers for that recommendation.
I don't think I've tried Enemy Engaged 2. Will take a look at that later tonight.
