About HELI

HELI
DOWNLOAD YOUR FLIGHT

***DISCLAIMER** READ BEFORE BUYING:

HELI is not a VR game per say. It is a VR app that emulates helicopter flights around New York city. The tours are not interactive and the simulator is a lot of fun but simplified for easy play. HELI is an exploration of the exhilarating aviation and tourism experience.

HELI is full room scale VR: you can physically move around the helicopter.

Do not judge it against FPS VR games: the helicopter is not equipped with rockets. (yet)

Read the specs requirements: HELI requires a powerful computer for seamless play.

HELI was developed by helicopter pilots.

---------------------------------------------------------------

AIR TOURS:
Experience the thrill of flying with the doors off for truly unhindered panoramic views. Check out several real-life helicopter tours captured in stunning high-definition.

FLIGHT SIMULATOR:
Want to put your pilot skills to the test? Take the controls in your own hands as you pilot a helicopter in the flight simulator.

GAROU Demo:
You’re about to take off on one of the most knee-trembling and breathtaking experiences in VR. Step onto the gargoyle of the Chrysler Building.

Available for Arcades on SpringboardVR

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.

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.

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 (…

So after reading some of the comments I was fairly skeptic about the game, but it turned out to be a good experience. I've never been to New York so was really excited to get the 360 view of the city in VR, and HELI did not disappoint. The graphics on the tour flights are beautiful! It does feel like a real tour in the city. As for the flight simulator, that's something that has great potential but there's still work to be done. The simulation of controlling the heli is alright, just needs more nuance added to it, but the white models instead of real buildings cooled my initial excitement a bit. King Kong is a nice touch though XD. I didn't have any performance issues as well. It's not for everyone, but overall the game offers great immersion and wows you with amazing views of New York, plus you get to pilot a helicopter into King Kong and stay alive.

Well I've read some other reviews but my computer played it well and I really enjoyed it. Trying to get pictures out of a virtual helicopter that doesn't have doors so you can see better was a bit interesting lol. I enjoyed the experience and being take and shown what I probably won't get to see in my lifetime.

Sadly, you have to add me to the users who couldn't play the game, even though this was the one VR app I REALLY wanted (I love Eurocopter/Airbus and I fly an H-135 in another flight sim as a form of meditation). But I hadn't noticed the specific list of headsets that were supported. I have Windows Mixed Reality (newest Asus) and I can't even get the menu to display, plus the frame rate is horrible and I wasn't able to do almost anything. I am able to play all my other VR games I've bought from Steam just fine, but not this one. Had to request return.
