16:24, 8 July 2010 '''''Combat''''' lynx is an helicopter flight sim with an arcade feel by Mike Richardson from [[Durell]]. It is not overly realistic. The helicopter and terrain are shown from the rear, there are also instruments like a compass, altimeter, and temperature monitor for the engine. There are air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons in the game, and one can land at several bases to refuel or get new ammo.
While this does not quite qualify as a flight simulator, this was still am impressive game for the time, especially as it was released during the 464 era. A cool wireframe animation of the helicopter and its equipment at the base were a particular hightlight, as was the lush terrain. Later Amiga games like ''Gunship'' were somewhat similar to Combat Lynx.
