can anyone help me get enemy engaged  (apache vs hokum) to run?For all you people out there who has never heard of it,its a fantastic helicopter sim game....

I think you mean Apache vs Havoc. Commanche vs Hokum is a second game in enemy engaged series.
After applying latest patches it should work fine. You can get them here:

But i'd also recommend trying to get a hold of enemy engaged: commanche vs hokum. If the second game detects apache vs havoc installed, it will work as an addon instead of separate game - you'll have four flyable helicopters, campaigns from both parts, and 3d cockpits with trackir/FT support (in commanche and hokum).
There were also some unofficial patches including high resolution textures and 3d cockpits (and trackir/FT) support for apache and havoc as well, but i don't remember where i got them... Maybe someone else will have a hint.

thanks for that info..i meant to say the game was commanche vs hokum......but again thanks for the info

The site where i got community patches and install info for them seems to be temporarily down, but i've found another page:
http://www.eechcentral.com/wiki/
In the download section, you'll find new texture packs, community patches and a 3d cockpit for apache - it's in community patches dir - a must-have if you have apache vs havoc as well - it's really hard to switch from a 3D commanche cockpit with 6DOF view control to 2D apache one without any POV control .
Just make sure you patch the game to latest version before applying any community patches/mods
To make sure that new textures are displayed correctly, there'll be some eech.ini file editing required. You'll need to change these settings to 1 (they'll probably be set to 0 by default):

texture_colour=1
texture_filtering=1
mipmapping=1
dynamic_water=1


Also, since you're on this forum, you'll want to enable the trackir Again, change the line in eech.ini to 1:

TIR_6DOF setting to 1 within eech.ini

And in game press CTRL+DELETE and enjoy 6DOF view control
