About This Game

Fly low and strike deep in the re-invention of the Gunship flight combat franchise. In Gunship!, you're the point man for WWIII -- Russian forces have amassed on one side, NATO on the other in a flashpoint conflict in Eastern Europe. You are about to deploy the most devastating weapon in the inventory of war: the helicopter Gunship! Finesse, raw power, stealth and speed blend in a high-wire balancing act of exacting proportions. In the 21st century, the fate of war can turn on one micro-engagement in the epicenter of action.

Features:

  • Separate modes emphasizing realistic simulation or instant action to suit different play styles.
  • Customize your crew and loadout in American, German, Russian, and British helicopters.
  • Enter the fray in 20 unique missions

Okay, First things first. Gunship! is NOT a new game. As a matter of fact, it's so old that most young gamers probably never heard of it. But, that's not as bad as it sounds, because Gunship! is a good game. It's not perfect on all fronts, but the fact that you can play this in Co-Op is awesome. (Pilot/Gunner) Yes, I know, the store page doesn't mention it, but it has multiplayer Co-Op support. If you experience any problems with the multiplayer part you might want to start a single player game first. (You had to do that all the time, prior to hosting a session) That's what worked back then.

Yeah Sorry I played this along long time ago,, in todays world the graphics are horrible and even though they have files to support the thrustmaster joystick sidewinder etc they dont seem to work at all....... Please unless you like spending hours trying to revive this game to work in todays world,, take a PASS the video on the store front looks far better than you will get on your comp........

This game was a wonderful surprise!!!!!! For a game that came out around 2000 (or so) it still has a lot of WOW to it. Thre graphics are a bit dated but the immersion factor is definitely there!!!!........being of the old school (the early years of PC flight simulator games) this is a big plus for me. I have windows 7 (64 bit) with an average computer system and the game runs perfect....no problems what so ever.

I had a bad start after installing and couldnt get the game to run until I set the exe file to "run as administrator" But after that it was ok, I also had to increase the graphic settings as the default settings seem to be on super low, the game runs well and the gameplay is great. I hope an instruction manual is going to be introduced as the tutorial only covers the bare minimum, ( Im still trying to work out how to use Chaff and flares), I suggest tapping keys in game to access some nifty features, I used the F4 view and tapped "e" and "r" to change the camera views. Great game but not enough info provided :) Update regarding the manual, I basically google for one and found one, there are a few "gunship" games out there so be sure to get the right one :)

I am a massive fan of the original Gunship on the C64, I must have played it for weeks, so I was very excited to play this. Sadly, despite a promising start (the menus talk about support for HOTAS) you can only run the game in Software Rendering mode which forces a resoltuion of 640x480. If you try and run in Hardware it crashes immediately when you click on "Take Off". You could argue that 640x480 is still higher resolution than the C64...but it's the fact that the game offers up to "1920x1080" and I can't help but feel cheated being forced to play in such low-res.

READ THIS TO AVOID BREAKDOWNS AND BROKEN COMPUTER PARTS DUE TO SMASHING... Great game EVEN IN 2022.... after reading several forums posts u get it to work fairly easy. Its 2022 i have gtx 1080ti and win 11 x64 - no compatibility mode, no launch options changed :-) , and still works great back in time i tried it with win 10 and it works great too. Runs in 1920x1080 32bit and ultrawide 3440x1440 32 bit color mode. Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog does not work, unfortunately. Initial problems with hardware mode was that steam doesnt support dx7 anymore, although game is optimized for it, ironic isnt it ? Follow these steps to enyoy full hd resolution if you get error: DX7 Application Error Error destroying D3D objects hr: DDERR_GENERIC i am quoting steam user that helped me: 1Patriot-of-many [has Gunship!] 11 Nov, 2017 @ 11:50pm I was getting the same error message,I just figured it out for WinXP64, might work for XP32 too.

I used to play this game years ago and loved it. Unfortunatly it does not run well on modern hardware. Game is very unstable in Windows 10 and crashes frequently even when ran in compatability mode.

For anyone having issues with old games like these on modern systems (including mechwarrior 3) try dgVooDoo. It's a simple process and it has my Gunship! running at 1600x900 with no graphical issues on Windows 10. If you can't figure out the instructions send me a message and I will give you a step-by-step on using dgVooDoo
