Introducing the new generation of RC products from FrozenPepper, RC Heli 3 most important new features are :
Realistic physic simulation : We have engines, servos and propellers simulated separately, so each vehicle you’ll flight is the result of a sum of independent components (engines, propellers, batteries, electronic stabiliser etc) that contribute to the vehicle flight behaviour, forces are applied in the correct spots, weights are balanced etc… So since each vehicle should behave very similarly to real ones,they have a “stabiliser” component which is coded exactly as those found in real RC Helicopters, Drones and planes (part of the code actually comes from an Arduino project i was working on for a cardboard RC plane… but this is another story).
9 vehicles at launch ranging from micro quadcopters to collective helicopters.
4 difficulty modes : starting from “Beginner” and reaching “Pro” , they allow players to skill up gradually their flight abilities, enjoy some relaxing and stable flight, fast and arcadish races or a very realistic and sensitive behaviour. A direct consequence of our new physics Engine is that we simply had to give more strength to electronic stabilisation and inertia cancellation to make the vehicle easier to flight, but still very realistic in its behaviours. Even in beginner mode your are still flying a realistic physic simulation of the vehicle.
Very detailed scenario : explore a huge house and it’s garden unlocking parts of it as you progress through the main race game modes. RC Heli 3 includes version 1.0 of our new streaming system which grants us a ton more detail than previously possible, high quality textures and models populate each room and area of the scenario allowing us scale up or down quality according to device capabilities.We are very satisfied with it, but as said it is our first attempt at something very complex, so expect improvements and even larger and smoother scenarios in future updates,.
3 Camera modes : third person follow, FPV, and the new and innovative AI assisted realistic view, this camera simulates the user following the RC vehicle from the ground, with advanced AI pathfinding.
All 4 standard RC Control modes selectable
New User account system : you can now create a user account with FrozenPepper to keep all your progress, unlocks etc synced throughout the various platforms we will release the game on, and compete on multi platform scoreboards when applicable. It works both online and offline allowing multiple users with separate scores on the same device. It brings many more benefits for users, but more on this later.
2 Race game modes : Micro and Regular GP game modes will see you fly through checkpoints around the scenario. Global ranking and scoreboards for each track can make each lap time very exciting.
Realistic Wind Simulation : advanced dynamic wind system allows for users to experiment with different wind strength.
Immersive sound and beautiful soundtrack.
King of the week : each week a track or game mode will be selected for the king of the week competition, and the best 3 user scores of the week be displayed for the full week after on a 3D whiteboard in the main menu of the game globally.
Engine built to grow : we have loads of different game modes and vehicles planned for the upcoming months. version 1.0 will be just the beginning.
Multiplayer combat and race modes coming very soon after release, as for the other core components of the game, we want to have a solid base for multiplayer networking to grow on, and it needs a little more work before being releasable, but expect it to be cool
It’s not working. I can’t turn on my helicopter
Hey Sean, we made it clear in the tutorial, complete it to learn the basics of your heli! 🙂
I’m in the tutorial and it doesn’t tell me how to turn it on
Yes mate, it does. Anyways, lowering your left stick will turn your heli on. hope it helps!
No I mean like the stick won’t move. At all
Oh. What device are you playing on Sean?
An IPod touch 5th generation
Ah, that makes sense.
Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee the game to run properly on those devices currently out from the “supported” list, Sean.
Regarding the music, not this year. 🙂
Our usual xmas update didn’t make it for the 25th but it will be approved by Apple right after the holidays, hopefully. Expect some juicy new stuff. And happy Christmas, of course!
Also, are you going to add Christmas music to RC plane 2? Like last year?
Alright thanks man. It’s ok if it doesn’t work. It happens. Merry christmas
And I’m excited to see what you’ve got in store this time
Awesome, I’m installing it right now, cheers frozen pepper and a Merry Christmas. 😀
THIS GAME IS FROZEN PEPPERS NEW MASTER PIECE!!!! I really loved it. The graphics are fabulous, the simulation and controls are very realistic and sound effects and music is superior compared to your older games. I like the concept of have online multiplayer air race, this too should be added to create plane 2 or the next generations.
Now I going to install on the Mac. I love the presentation in the flight school mission .The game downloaded and ran smoothly.
congrats frozen pepper on the completion of your new game. 😀
But wait I can’t find it on the Mac app store, is there one or is it not yet ready.
Pls send me a link to it if it is on the Mac cos, I can’t find it. 🙁
Although I said that the game ran smoothly, it started laging like hell after I started the first microGp track, this has now also affected my free flight mode. I don’t want to get any in-app purchases if my programme does not run smoothly, I use an iPad 2.
I would rather play this on my Mac, as it would run smoothly, but cannot find it on the
OS X store 🙁
Hi Philip!
The MacOSX version of the game is not out, yet.
Ipad 2 is not a supported device. i understand your frustration since i own an iPad 2 myself. We did our best but ..its hardware is just too slow for this.
Then I’ll have to wait for Mac 😐
I’m back. So Rc plane 2 is crashing a little more. Also on mountain my name won’t pop up for the time it takes me to complete it. And what about Rc Heli 2? The app on my home screen is different than in the App Store. I like the App Store version better? Are you guys even updating it anyway?
How do I unlock more of the house. I don’t want to fly around in the living room for the entire game!
Hi,
to unlock every door in Free Flight you have to complete racing championships (Micro/Regular).
Race number 2 of any of the two championships will be enough to unlock the kitchen door and the main entrance to enjoy the rest of the outside scenario, tho.
Happy flying.
When will the Mac OS X version coming out, I need some more good games on it, especially a nice aviation game. 😀
Can you guys add planes like the A4 Skyhawk II, the Dehaviland Beaver water/land/ski plane, the B52 Stratofortress, KC135 Stratotanker (which refuels other planes in midair which would be cool to do in Rc plane 2), ME262, ME163 Kommet, and the space shuttle missions in more places. Also some airplanes flight surfaces are moving in the wrong direction. Like the Der Kreiger, F14, and Ju 52. Possibly others. And in the new campus (btw thanks for the sweet new update
Sorry it cut me off. But in the new campus scenario you float above the water runway. Not to overwhelm you but they’re just things that I thought would help you get rid of a few more problems in the next update. And do you guys still update Rc Heli 2?
And multiplayer isn’t working. It’s randomly disconnects during the middle of a duel. It’s only when you auto match
Same problem, impossible to turn off, can you traduce in french, i don’t understand how to start.
What device are you playing on ?
To turn on*
Can’t wait to get this game! Hope to be impressed 😀
Is the game compatible with the iPad mini 3? All the buttons work but I can’t lower the left thumb stick to turn on the heli?
Please make it work for iPod 6. I just wasted an hour trying to get it to work and I love the other games. So please fix it soon.
slowly working on it, but unfortunately due apple 64bit requirement for new apps and updates, work is quite big.
In an ideal world, all bundles of RC Heli 3 should be free of charge for customers who paid the full 22 Euro for all planes of RC Plane 3, since its the same game, just in a different app….
