zoltron_rulez Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) All,I am not sure how many of you stumbled across this gem, but when I was checking on this:http://www.bistudio....-arma-3-in-2012I found this: http://takeonthegame.com/Now I am wondering, if any of you seen this game (sim) or better yet tried it?The game in question is: Take on Helicopters. There's a free demo that I will be trying today!If you have played it and you are a heli pilot can you write a brief opinion if this is just a game or a sim and how good the sim for helis is.Looks like it uses Simul weather engine.-lkP.S: Looks like the flight model is between arcade and sim.

Tom Knudsen Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Old news for many. Take on Helicopters - Hinds is somewhat a nice game, but that's about that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaidenFan Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 The Hind looks amazing. It's a shame the flight model is so bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoltron_rulez Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) OK, I have tried the demo and here is my experience:- Sick weather environment (it uses Simul Engine) with amazing FPS (I created a scenario in the editor with heavy cloud cover went up through cloud cover and was getting 60 FPS with some awesome terbulence,- the clouds seem not to affect the FPS,- not to mention the amazing looking clouds, sun rays breaking through the clouds, etc)- Really good flight model, difficulty level must be set on 'expert',- it really feals like it is a sim but I am not chopper pilot; Comparing this game to X-Plane's heli flight model it was really close. I am not sure about the Hind heli because I only played demo but the 2 helis I tried have really good flight model- Terrain was not that great but I was playing the demo and it said that in demo they give you low res textures, etc,- and I was kind of comparing the terrain to Arma 2 which I have which obviously is not right because it was not done that way,- can't wait for Arma 3.- Night textures just sucked, I am used too much looking at X-Plane at night or Arma 2, this was not very well done- As for the price $60, it is high for just 2 regions but the fact that it gives you amazing weather environment and great flight model (plus an editor where you can design/script your own scenario) I am tempted to buy it, - I will wait a bit to see of any special deals on steam Edited April 13, 2012 by zoltron_rulez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
