Product Information
Fans of the Search & Rescue series from InterActive Vision A/S can now fly more than a hundred missions in the UH1 "Huey" helicopter, through the unfriendly skies of war-torn Vietnam. As a medical evacuation pilot supporting U.S. troops in Search & Rescue: Vietnam MedEvac, players experience realistic weather (clear, cloudy, fog, rain, or storms), authentic environments, graphics featuring dynamic lighting, vertex shading and high-res textures, and layered sound effects. Mission options include factors such as time of day (morning, midday, evening, or night), starting position (base, hovering, or mission site), and crash realism (indestructible or damage).<br><br>Players begin as an Ensign, but can achieve up to five promotions in rank based on number of flight hours invested and points earned: Able Ensign (20 hours/400 points), Sub-lieutenant (40/1200), Lieutenant (80/3000), Lieutenant Commander (120/4500), and Aircraft Commander (200/6000). Points are earned based on successful completion of missions and optional settings selected (physics, immortality, crashes, and replays). Rescued victims' conditions change, and can range from "stable" to "dead" as players strive to get in, get out, and get home to the hospital in one piece. <br><br>While the search aspect requires learning to fly the Huey by mastering flight instruments such as attitude director and airspeed indicators, radar and barometric altimeters, vertical speed indicators, and the horizontal situation video display (among others), the rescue phase involves an entirely different set of tasks. Selecting the correct tools for the job at hand, such as the sling, litter, hoist, or basket, plays an important role, as does manning the helicopter's machinegun, spotlights, flares, and lights. In addition to the pilot, flight crews include a flight mechanic, rescue swimmer, and gunner.<br><br>Game options include an easy mode for rookie pilots or players not interested in learning to realistically fly the helicopter, as well as a challenging option for expert pilots to fly without the Automatic Flight Control System (requires a joystick or similar control of the cyclic, collective, and rudder). Both single mission and campaign modes are available. Vietnam MED+EVAC does not support multiplayer games.Product Identifiers
