Strap into the cockpit of a high-tech helicopter and soar through a vast desert in this thrilling VR adventure. Your mission: navigate treacherous terrain to rescue prisoners of war, destroy enemy radar stations, and dominate the skies. But the action doesn’t stop in the air—step out of your heli to engage in intense ground combat, clearing enemy outposts or securing objectives on foot. For sharpshooters, test your skills at the shooting range and compete to set the ultimate high score.
In this alpha release, experience dynamic, objective-based gameplay that challenges your piloting precision, combat prowess, and strategic thinking. Fly through canyons, evade enemy fire, and execute daring POW extractions under pressure, all while battling the desert’s shifting sands. On the ground, face off against hostile forces in immersive firefights, adding a new layer of intensity to your missions.
As an early access title, this is just the start. Look forward to a growing roster of missions, expanded environments, and exciting new features in future updates. Whether you’re raining destruction from above, fighting on foot, or aiming for the top of the shooting range leaderboards, this VR helicopter game delivers an adrenaline-pumping experience that puts you in the heart of the action!

Fun
Its fun, this game has major potential.. cant wait for the updates and everything. Add enemy vehicles tht they drive around in and can shoot at you. Add different weapons you can carry and make the AI smarter and a little more aggressive.

Promising, fun game
This game is under development, so we have to expect some changes before we get the final form of it. The game has a lot of potential. In the present form is a fun game, what we can call it a relaxed/arcade-ish attack helicopter sim. The controls are.very simple, but the aircraft is a little bit hard to master. Blow enemy's warfare and rescuing p.o.w.'s is the central dogma of the game. If you like flying and blowing things up, this game is for you. If you trust the programmers and want to follow them through the developing of the game, buy the game.

AERIAL MISSIONS IN A DESERT SETTING
In this Early Access version, still in alpha, only helicopter missions are available. You take off over a vast desert, with a real sense of scale and a few simple but effective objectives (rescues, target destruction, reconnaissance, etc.). A STILL STRANGE FLIGHT, BUT THE BASICS ARE THERE The piloting is playable, but still a little strange at times: the physics aren't entirely natural and require a little getting used to. There's also a tutorial, which is helpful but still needs more development to properly guide new pilots. AN EXPERIENCED STUDIO, AN EARLY ACCESS RELEASE THAT WILL IMPROVE The developers are experienced and have created serious VR projects. We can therefore expect rapid improvements, both in flight behavior and overall content. As it stands: a promising start and a beautiful desert atmosphere.

There are a couple of the same issue
Edited for the developer: I would get a picture for you but I do not have the time it takes to get Meta files to send a lot of the time. The center is an issue in the tutorial and I am not low enough when entering the chopper in the main game, my head sticks out of the cockpit. This game is absolutely fun but I would like to switch sides that tilt the chopper or turn it. I would advise to have a skip tutorial option to evade bad reviews. The ground combat needs work, it is not enjoyable yet as no matter what cover I take I will get hit and end up back at the base. I hate leaving bad reviews but I keep running into games that are more harmful to VR being released too early. This has a lot of potential and it already has a pretty large map so far and has a Soviet strike vibe.

Action in the skies
Once you get through the tutorial the game opens up and is ok. The helicopter does take some getting used to despite really basic controls and I do like firing the missiles and guns. It is early release but I can see what the dev is doing and where they want to go and look forward to it as it updates over time. I did get a little queasy so you may need some VR legs for this one.
