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.
