TakeOn Helicopter (new sim in Beta)

Featured Replies

I don't think there's too many rotor heads here, but it's not every day you get a new non-combat flight sim, right? This is in Beta, heading for a release late this month. Generally, when everything comes together its' a beautiful-looking sim and very screenshot friendly. However, the satellite terrain texture resolution is a bit low, and I'm not thrilled with the color of the terrain (a bit yellow-green overall, as if it's been filtered or hand colored). However, lighting, clouds, water, and the helicopters themselves look great. I can't imagine placing all of these 3d objects in a 60x60 mile area.

Hi! Great pics! I don't fly helicopters yet but I might start with this. I'm not sure you can do it with just a joystick though? Don't you need more controllers? Many thanks, Pierre

Nice shots. Nebojsa

Sorry, but I´ll have to delete this pic´s because "Images from products in BETA Testing are not allowed".

Best regards, Steffen

FWIW I think you need "ArmA 2" or whatever their combat sim is called to run the demo - I tried and got nothing. You can, however, find lots of screenies and movies around the web. I'm not -particularly- into helicopters, but this looks great - and I'm guessing there is a LOT of rooftop access this time ;) Andrew
