This looks cool. It reminds of Atari's Steel Talons in some ways too.

 

Thank you, it's true, maybe because of my age...

 

Let's see if someone discovers the moving behaviors "secret"!, as you can see, take off, power up/down and turning have two effects, synchronized move and rotate , respecting the real heli behavior, isn't just math functions.
Trust me(20 years in game development) not easy to get it.

 

I agree I am I am also unable to find the secret of its Movement on Android device

 

Update released today...

 

Where is the assetstore link?

 

I believe this is the link.

https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/7372

 

Is it easy to switch out the input system and use a third party one? I would like to use Rewired (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/21676) to handle my input.

 

input system use axes "Vertical" and "Horizontal" ARROWS only and two custom "Vertical2" and "Horizontal2" WASD only, others control are simple onClick functions.

I don't see any reason shouldn't works

 

Update WEB-GL release

http://www.blabserver.net/helicombat/webgl/index.html

 

Do u have some documentation to see how it works?

 

yes...

 

Just thank those people who bought the package...

 

we are proud to have been declared "Featured"

 

@BBRome

Thanks for the information.

Do you allow upgrades from Single Player version to the Multi-Player version? The asset store does allow have the capability to upgrade for only the difference in price.

 

we'll look thanks.

 

Thanks.

World Creator Standard and World Creator Professional is one example I have seen.

 

Do you have any plans of adding guided missiles?

 

What do you mean as "guided" ?
We have a missile heat-finder in an other asset in the store https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/37867, so next update we'll add it in the heli project.

 

That would be a great addition. I hope to be able to spend more time with this over the weekend working on the input controls (changing to rewired and using Puma helicopter controller).

 

New release is coming..

- New Heat seeking rockets
- New Enemy Flak system

 

Thanks. Looking forward to this update.

 

New release approved...

 

Have you tested this with Unity 5.4.3?

 

no yet I'll try...

 

Just tested using Unity 5.4.3f1, works fine

 

- Update to Unity 5.5.0
- New web-gl demo
http://www.blabserver.net/helicombat/webgl/index.html

 

Just Updated

- Unity 5.5 support
- Update to last Photon Cloud release

 

This looks great, do you have any plans to an inside helicopter view? With helicopter cockpit with moving dials etc? Would be very nice.

 

How do I make the helicopter move forward? Cant seem to work it out! And also I went into multiplayer it wont let me connect to a room, spinning progress bar and pings never come back ?

 

Forward using current power ARROW UP key, ARROW UP key + W key forward and increase speed, the best and fun way to drive it is, keep quote then press Z key to stabilise it then move shoot etc..

Connection issue, that's odd usually in few seconds you get all servers ping but if one of then has very low ping can slow a lot(I've to fix)

 

Unity 5.5.0f3 (windows 64-bit)
HeliSim 4.0 (Single Player version)
Rewired 1.0.0.112 (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/21676)

The HeliSim PRO version has been updated to 4.1.0 will the HeliSim 4.0 (single player) be updated also?

My goal is to convert the HelSim 4.0 input handling to Rewired for a Windows standalone desktop application. The main purpose is to use the Pro-Flight Trainer Puma helicopter controller (https://pro-flight-trainer-com.myshopify.com/). I am not quite sure which input values are used based on the Unity input manager values. This is for the 3D game and not a 2D game. This is a screen shot of the Unity input manager for reference.



There seems to more defined in the code for handling different things that included in the Unity Input Manager. For example the camera handling is one example. I am basing that information on keyboard values includes in the mainMenu.cs file. So when I look at Assets\heliSIMAsset\script\mainMenu.cs starting on lines 45 through 56 which seem to be valid keyboard keys.

With regards to the main inputs there are 3 verticals (Vertical/Vertical2/BBVertical) defined and there also 2 Horizontals defined. Not sure if all of these are being used or not.

Here is what I am currently mapping in Rewired for reference since trying to

Rewired Actions defined



Here is the current Rewired mapping for the keyboard. (actions mapped to keyboard keys)



Then for the ProFlght Trainer Puma Controller which is not yet mapped. Just listing of some of the values available for reference. So I am basically trying map your inputs into Puma system. These are the some values available. I am ignoring modes 2 and 3 which is basically a repeat of mode 1 based on the value of the mode switch pressed.



This is what I have for my first thoughts attempt for Pro-Flgiht Trainer Puma controller. (Definitely needs more work).
Here are my thoughts on potential mapping. The Cyclic X/Y should basically map to the the keyboard arrow keys, the pedals should map to the keyboard keys a/d values of tilted rotation. The W key (power) should map to the throttle and the Z key should be mapped to the collective.

I was looking a little bit in this script (heliSIMAsset\script\BBHelicopterScript.cs) for reference and see references to horizontal2 and vertical2 in addition to vertical and horizontal but have not dug much further yet.

The Rewired Input Manager prefab is attached (as a zip file) for reference. Just unzip and add to your scene if you have Rewired (also works with Rewired trial version).

 

That's the secret of realistic drive-ability hozizontal & vertical and hozizontal2 & vertical2 works in conjunction in both Update() and FixedUpdate() functions.

 

Thanks for the clarification. What is BBVertical used for since I have not seen any reference to it in the code.

 

You right, probably left over form an old version or during countless tests, can be removed.

 

Thanks, connection issues are gone now. Moving forward is still weird, he seems to stop moving forward when I get high up ? Or maybe he is moving very slowly forward? How can I speed up the forward movement and make it more noticable ?

 

Sorry, but you have the package and want to speed up forward movement or during web-gl testing you can't go forward at reasonable speed?

given that speed is a configurable parameter;

In second case, take off keeping pressed both W+DOWN-ARROW(go up horizontal) key, when altitude is about 0,100(10 meters) press Z key(to keep altitude stable) now keep pressed both W+UP-ARROW, you'll see speed going up but not immediately, you have to wait power going UP(W key), now as you are at low altitude you can better feel the speed, in reality helicopter does't jump up an down or push a button and go super fast

An other issue could be performances, web-gl is good but worse than medium/hight android device

 

Thanks, I am in the editor, not webgl. I want to be able to go forward when I am high up. The helicopter will not move forward when high up, I just tried what you said but it has no affect. When he is low it works well, but after that he can only go up. Also how do I come down, as in reduce altitude?

 

Good

To go up keep pressed both W key + DOWN-ARROW key increase power and keep heli horizontal
To go down keep pressed both S key + UP-ARROW key decrease power and keep heli horizontal

care pressing S key, control power indicator to avoid crash down

 

I want to speed the helicopter up about 5x basically, any ideas? Super SLOW when you are high up.

 

Well, is a sensation the speed is the same...

try change parameter marked in red

 

If you want really speed up change BBHelicopterScript at line 288 this double the speed

 

Thanks will try

 

Nice to see other users of HeliSim posting too. I like the speed modification too.

What are you planning for your next update to this asset?

 

99% send email...

for sure, get fuel by Unity Advertising rewarded video and/or Unity inApp purchase, and configurable speed

 

When I start the game and then move the cursor and click on the editor, the engine spins up much quicker. Why is this ? Also it appears I have to once click on the game window before it will accept any input - how do I stop this? Is there some weird focus thing going on that I cannot find ?

Edit: I actually like the engine spinning up like that so I want to try and make it happen but I have to alt tab out of a build and back to get it to happen, could you explain what is going on here?

 

Also how do you actually land without blowing up ? And it owuld be great if you had an option to join multiplayer and all go to the same room by default instead of going through the menu every time, this is hellishly tedious when trying to develop, could you add that oiption?

 

Sorry but I've tried many times, I couldn't reproduce, engine is independent the power is controlled by W & S key

 

- Multiplayer already implemented, just click an go to first open room or ask for create if no rooms exists
- to land easy increase " collisionFactor" parameter, if you want land in horizontal press together S+ARROW UP
