This simulator improved on virtually every level of the first game, and it is 3Dfx-compatible from the start. New helicopters were added in the shape of the AH-64D Apache Longbow (without radar), OH-58D Kiowa and UH-60L Black Hawk.
A fully dynamic campaign engine is used to create challenging missions and a random mission generator can be used to create a wide variety of missions. Gameplay is dynamic in the sense that new missions are generated automatically. The game features a command structure, allowing the player to command other helicopters, including OH-58 Kiowa scouts and UH-60 Black Hawk transports.
Longbow Anthology
Longbow Anthology was released in 1998 and is a compilation of Jane's AH-64D Longbow, the mission disk Flash Point: Korea, and Longbow 2 in one box, with an abbreviated manual. All included simulators are fully patched to the latest versions.
