Gameplay

• Added a new default helicopter controls, that can be deactivated in order to revert to the previous controls:
  • Now the triggers control the vertical speed (LT = Vertical descending speed, RT = Vertical ascending speed).
  • The left stick controls the horizontal speed (Up/Down = Forward/Backward, Left/Right = Left/Right).
  • Left/Right on the right stick controls the rotation speed of the chopper.
  • Up/Down on the right stick controls the rotation speed of the camera (doesn’t impact the helicon pitch; this gives a feeling of the player controlling the camera, and the helicopter follows the camera).
• Every helicopter now has a different behavior
  • Small helicopters are very fast, very mobile, and have a high pitch.
  • Gunships are fast, mobile, and have a very military feeling to them.
  • Blackhawks are slower and more steady when handling.
• Helicopters take off physics are now more realistic. Once the helicopter reaches the correct RPM, it will take off automatically
• The helicopters no longer slide while taking off
• Helicopter engine torque reacts to the player’s actions (The player will be able to hear and see the engine rotors accelerating or slowing down)
• – Improved destruction of helicopters on impact
