Our take on Take On Helicopters
Instead of focusing on combat, this simulation centers on civilian helicopter work, with contracts, family business pressures, open-world terrain, and player-authored missions replacing a conventional military campaign structure.
What is Take On Helicopters?
Take On Helicopters places the player in the role of a civilian helicopter pilot involved in a struggling family aviation business.
The campaign centers on taking contracts and competing with other operators while learning rotor-wing flight through varied challenges. The game includes two large environments: a 60x60 km area based on North America and a 120x120 km South Asian terrain with vegetation and urban structures. Helicopters and cockpits are modeled in detail, with flight dynamics focused on helicopter operation. Players can also build custom missions with the mission editor. Multiplayer supports cooperative and competitive scenarios, while the open-world sandbox provides space for free-form helicopter activity.
