Longbow Trilogy

shipmodelmaker · 08-28-07, 04:23 AM

Hi all,
I just bought the Longbow Trilogy on EBay.
1. AH-64D Longbow
2. Longbow Gold
3. Longbow 2
I tried to install them and have a lot of problems.
I am not 100% computer literate, so I need really specific help here.
Is there any one out there who has the solutions?
Thanks,
Jerry G (Glickstein)
P.S.
I am using the XP Home Edition.
Other specs available as required.

Focus on Longbow 2, the other games are even older, and so are offering greater potential for conflicting with today's PCs and OS.

the place to ask for the complete list of steps how to get it running is the helicopter fourm at www.simHQ.com . search there, or ask them. LB2 can be made running under XP - many accieved that, and I managed to get that done, too - so don't give up.

You'll very probably need a glide wrapper. explanation will be given in one of the solution lists you can find via simHQ.

OK, thanks,
I was ableto install Longbow 2.
One thing.
I am not able to access the different views
Pressing the various keys (F whatevers) I am always in the cockpit.
I would like to get "outside"

I kept getting error boxes and was unable to play the game.
So, I had to uninstall it.

Any ideas?
