Mini review, playing with a stick, collective and pedal setup using the “difficult” physics setting. A fun little game. Well worth the price of admission. +Fun yet simple gameplay +Looks good and can run on a potato -NPC pickup needs a tweak -Missing TrackIR support I only have two minor complaints. 1: Picking up NPC’s needs a tweak. There needs to be a pickup circle around them and they need to stay put until you land. Right now they run towards you once you get close and they will push the helicopter around until you completely stop. This does not work when you have a tiny pickup area as you are trying to carefully land in a small space and the guy pushes into objects or off of buildings. 2: Spacial awareness. I set the “look” options up on my hat switch which binds correctly, but does not seem to work in game. There is an inertial view which kind of helps your FOV while turning, but does absolutely nothing for you while trying to land. It makes landing difficult as a result. In short this is a good simple game. Something I can just relax and have fun with while still practicing my basic helo skills. With added Track IR support and a little tweak to the NPC pickups, this would be almost perfect.
Thanks for the support and feedback! There’s a free-look enable button you can bind, and an option to toggle free look (necessary if you want to be able to move the cyclic while it’s on 👀) There’s probably something I can do to make the civilians easier to land around
