Today is finally released next update! Added first campaign missions package and new helicopter Mi-24 Hind with virtual cockpit for both pilot and gunner! Also app size was reduced (70% OFF !!!!).
I really like this game. The cockpits are a labour of love, and the landscape is truly gorgeous. Just a few suggestions/requests from me:
Mi-8 seating position. On Russian helicopters the Captain sits on the left!
Camera panning. Could the touch area for the camera panning reach all the way to the edges? It's a bit frustrating when you start looking around and the camera suddenly stops. Alternatively you could make it more sensitive? You have to do a lot of "drag-drag-drag" just to look to the side.
Head shake/delay. When in cockpit view the camera is 100% static and it makes the sensation of flying a little bit dry. Could you add some lag or shake on the pilot's head? "Gunship III" on the iPhone is a good example to look at. It's a pretty rough-looking game, but the cockpit camera feels good.
And a small detail to please the purists out there: Collective down (in broad terms) doesn't slow down the speed of the main rotor, it just changes the angle of the blades.
Thanks, and good luck with the new update! Awesome work!
Capt Haddock: I will look your suggestions for next update Thank you for it.
BTW: Update with Carrier Ops and Ka-50 released today for a FREE version of the app. The PRO version update should come next week I hope. Hope you enjoy it.
Hi, diamond means the location of current steerpoint (you should fly there) in the missions. There is no joystick yet, I'll look on it a bit and try to add the support into the game.
Hi guys, new update is waiting for approval by Apple. It should be available in 7 days I hope.
news: - AH-1Z Super Cobra - new missions - night missions - new Mini-gun sound (the real one) - new cannon bullet with higher explosion radius - added bullet impact decals for FLIR (WHOT/BHOT) thermal view - you can see how it is getting cold on the ground - very nice touch ..... many small improvements and fixes
let the picture talk:
And a short video of new FLIR m230 characteristics (sorry for bright switch from WHOT/BHOT, it's because of iPhone 5 focus):
Just curious. Does this support controllers on ios?
