Pre Order Beta - Read Me!

Recommended Posts

Welcome to the Take On Helicopters Pre-Order Beta!

Accessing the beta program is very simple; once you pre-order Take On Helicopters from one of our official Digital Download partners you are officially registered for the Take On Helicopters beta program!

Customers who’ve pre-ordered will receive a CD-Key via email, this CD-Key unlocks the Pre-Order beta as well as the full retail game, when it’s released on Thursday, October 27th.

The Pre-Order Beta offers a generous variety of content, including:

  • A 30x30km section of our Seattle terrain (full size ~60x60km)
  • Three singleplayer scenarios
  • Three Time Trial courses
  • Three Tutorials
  • An MP scenario
  • Our powerful 2D Mission Editor

For more details on there features, check out our official website

It almost goes without saying that this is the Pre-Order Beta build. The final Version will have more content, fixes, and optimisation! The Pre-Order Beta is similar to the Community Preview in that we aim to update the data when we can, partly based upon your feedback!

Feedback!

Below we've included a copy of the read me, which includes the latest 'known issues'. We look forward to receiving your feedback in this section of the forums, where you can discuss many different aspects of the game.

The Community Issue Tracker (CIT) is also kindly providing a project category to post issues to directly, which is useful for identifying/keeping a track of known issues.

The CIT is a community-organised and led initiative, which we've been able to use as a focus for identifying and fixing bugs for years, as always, our thanks and respect go to them for helping to provide and maintain this support!
