Well, this is a 1990 game sporting some really interesting concepts. Player of Su-25 Sthurmovik will feel right at home as the menu system is the same. The VGA graphics are nice, very clear, even though there's a little warping with polygonal terrain features. Sound support includes Sound Blaster, so it's not bad.
While this game's flight mode is hardly realistic, the game has one thing for it - its sheer fun. It's far better than the arcadish Comanche (by Novalogic). You can fly in a LHX (future helicopter) an Apache, a Blackhawk and an Osprey. All fly differently, being the LHX a nifty little bugger, very fast and agile, as well as armed to the back teeth, the Apache being slower and tougher, but even better armed (even though it sports an analog cockpit), the Blackhawk being a workhorse, but an armed one, as well as tough to crack as a nut, and really necessary for the rescue and supply missions, and the Osprey, an aircraft-helicopter hybrid (now in service) that takes off like a chopper and then flies like an aircraft.
Weapons are varied, and there's great fun to be had by steering TOW missiles right down the enemy's throat. Speaking of which, the enemy aren't too dumb. Missiles and AAA will engage you ASAP, and so will tanks. While enemy helicopters won't pose much of a danger (unless they are Havocs or Hokums), enemy jets will. Missions are very varied, ranging from armed recon to deep strike, escort, extraction/deployment, etc.
This is a game that EVERYONE with a even passive interest in helicopters must have.

Trouble getting sound to work? Delete lhx.cfg and then run lhx.exe. Deleting lhx.cfg will trigger auto-detect for your system.

你可以用PC speaker，也很不错
The digitized voice on sega...."Theres the target" will forever be etched in my brain
Man for the time the game was really great I loved taking the OSPREY into the P.O.W camp and lighting it up. That game was on par with anything Microprose had out at the time and the graphics were really good for the time.
I guess there are aged people here who have played this significant game. The LHX and F117A are my top favorate simulations at the DOS age. Happy memories for everyone :)
Love this game. When I was little I barely figured out the controls or what to actually do (english is not my native language). Nowadays do know but especially on high difficulty it sometimes makes me want to punch my screen. I still wonder if it's possible to circumvent a significant amount of enemy vehicles. Otherwise you run out of ammo quickly. Flying on a low altitude oftentimes doesn't help that much.

such a great game, so much memories.... spent so many hours on my pc playing this chopper sim. I believe I was in highschool
One of my all time favorites, even on CGA with the cyan and magenta. The intro screen alone was a showpiece.
GOOD OLD DAYS! I SPENT SOME MANY HOURS PLAYING LHX, A MUST FOR EVERY PC GAMER..
any way to save game? either browser or dosbox?
OMG my very first PC favorite. Endless hours of fun - this really IS a fun game to play!
I spendt hours playing that thing.. Joystick is a must. so so fun XD..
My middle school days
High school days
remenber the good time the fly hours .....
want better sound? then edit lhx.bat to say lhx vga adlibsound
also note whoever cracked it misspelled lhx,they wrote lxh
It works on my computer for a change, and it seems like it would be a really cool game, but I think you might enjoy it with a joystick more.
Reminds me of old-school days. :)
the memories... so much started flowing...
lovely 3D first person 3D action which I played on an monochrome monitor together with a partner (one to fly, one to shoot)
The rudimentary ingame sound I will never forget,
.....
tic - tic - tic - tic - tic
....
This was one awesome little game...
super was playing thin when in high school
Great game.
