10 gig download and ends up being REALLY bad when in free flight mode. Horrible controls and nothing in the city is textured except for the few points of interest. In tour mode all you do is ride along through a 360 video. This wouldn't be worth it if it were free.
So you may be asking yourself, what the hell is this HELI game? It's really not a game at all. It has three different apps. Each app deals with exploring New York City. 1. Guided 360 Helicopter Tours of New York. The video quality is not the best I have ever seen, but still it's pretty good. I enjoyed the tours of the five different sites. They are short tours, but you get nice aerial views of the popular tourist spots. The tours include 5 different spots: Statue of Liberty, World Trade Center, Empire State Building, Central Park, and East River (i.e. Manhattan Bridge). You basically circle around each one. You can see things far off in the distance and since you're in high altitude, the people will look like ants. I had never seen New Yourk in this way (and I've never personally visited), but I found the VR tours enjoyable. You are seated in an empty helicopter and I guess you can pretend you're flying the helicopter (if you try really hard to imagine it, lol) 2. Helicopter flying simulation. Well, you should not get this app because of this feature. It's very basic. You use your motion controllers to fly the helicopter, but it is merely using the joystick on the Touch controller for altitude and the other joystick for direction. That is the extent of the "flying". You cannot crash. The simulation also shows New York mostly as a model city would look. Think mostly white blocks that represent the city layout. So it's not the best graphics, but it gets the job done. King Kong is at the Empire State Building, but he doesn't do anything to you and he doesn't seem to react to your presence. This has potential to be better, but would need lots of updates. At least the scale model of New York is spot on and I enjoyed that more than the actual simulation. 3. Garou Demo. So basically this is a high resolution 360 photo from the Chrysler Building. It is one of the best ones I have ever seen. It's a still photo, but I thought it looked amazing. So that is it. They advertise for more similar experiences on their website for the Garou Demo. So is that all worth the asking price of $9.99? That is a tough call. I enjoyed the 360 helicopter guided tours. But if you're not into it, then $9.99 may seem like a very steep price. So if you want to experience the next best thing to an acual helicopter tour of New York, then this app is worth it. Otherwise, pass on this. Rating 5.5/10 gave an extra .5 because of this: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1293105789

I was unable to get good performance despite having a gtx 1070 ti, 16 GB of ram and and AMD FX-8350 eight core processor. I was also dissapointed with the controls of the helicopter, because they were too simplified for me, as i fly rc helicopters and was hoping to be able to control pitch, roll, yaw and throttle, instead of the altitude, forwards, and turning to the right controls that i got.
Im Grunde eine gute Idee, aber nur zur Hälfte umgesetzt. Leere Texturen in der ganzen Stadt?! Und der Rest nur flache 360 Grad Videos. Steuerung ultra simple und kein Simulations-Charakter.

avis mitigee sur cette experience plus qu'un jeux ,les trois vol en vue 360° rame et provoque des chargement process visible dans le casque tres regulierement et çà c'est tres penalisant , les fonds video sont de qualite moyenne , par contres aucun soucis quand j'ai testee le vol en vr tres fluide et j'ai meme pris du plaisir au dessus de la grosse pomme , on monte ou descend avec le pad gauche tandis que le droit gere la rotation de l'helico , on fait la rencontre de king kong innoffensif , on survole la ville modelisee mais pas texturee , pourquoi ? le jeux est pourtant pas en early access, bref çà souffle le chaud et le froid , a vous de voir ,j'ai fait une video decouverte https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm0kmxpHya8
Very disappointed. The tours around the areas have VERY jerky video for outside world, makes you feel nauseous very quickly. The 'game' side of things is bland, no textures on any buildings (except just a small few). I understand they need to keep up the frame rate, but how about an option to switch textures on/off. My GTX1080Ti would cope all day long, and again I understand that not everyone has got one, however, at least give us the option though.
Komme ins Menü aber im HELI bleibt alles dunkel 10Gb für nix.
Можете посмотреть, что из этого получилось: https://youtu.be/1xjR9Md-zu4 Картинка в шлеме куда хуже, чем на экране. Честно говоря я редко пишу плохие обзоры, но эта игра заставила меня сделать именно так! В игре тошнит просто дико. Ужасное качество картинки Объекты размытые и нчего не понятно Видео которое снято для демо полета ужасного качества и постоянно лагает на вертолете в режиме симулятора летать не реально - Тошнота дикая начинается Врезаться никуда нельзя, можно только пролететь сквозь объекты. За идею 5, за реализацию - кол! За бесплатно - стоит своих денег, за 1 рубль - уже нет!
Experienced on HTC Vive with no audio (I had audio muted as was listening to other things at the time). My desktop computer has an Intel i5-4590 and a GTX 970 and ran the helicopter sim part okay with no framerate drops. Purchased as part of a multi-game bundle on a third-party website (i.e. bear in mind that I did not pay full price for this). ----- For anyone else who like me struggled to get out of the hangar: of the two controllers, one permanently has a Helipad symbol connected to it, the other controller has a screenshot/camera symbol. Take that second controller and use its beam to intersect with the helipad symbol, i.e. point at the controller-linked helipad symbol with the beam emitting from the other controller, then actuate the trigger on the laser beam controller to move to the next area. Note #1 to the developers: please visually document the controls schema (i.e. produce a graphic) and make it the first thing that the player sees when the player enters the game (have it displayed in large print in the starting area). ----- I have thus far only played the 'helicopter sim' part of the experience, wherein the player controls a helicopter model as it flies around a (mostly) untextured-block version of NYC, but from that part alone I would be happy to recommend this product; I found it tremendous fun to swoop through the low res/block city. A few things to note: the world scale is wrong, as in, the player and helicopter are disproportionately larger than the world; the buildings do not have collision; there was no (apparent) in-game way to reset the cockpit location, so I was spawned outside of the helicopter and floated there for my gameplay duration. Note #2 to the developers: please add an option to reset/recentre the cockpit. The helicopter sim experience locked up after 15 minutes, as in, the helicopter mesh disappeared, the player camera locked to one location, the controllers were rendering/displayed at some distance from the camera location.
Also wer hier einen Simulator erwartet ist falsch, nur 1 Heli, keine Collission nur 1 Stadt und außer rauf-runter vor zurück und seitwärts geht nichts. 95% der Texturen sind weiß und ab und zu ein grüner Baum. Das war ein echter Reinfall! Traurig.
