Update: Helicopter, Closed Cockpits, Capture the Flag and other cool stuff!

Hi Pilots!

We are very excited to announce that we've just released our next big update!

We've included a new level one standard plane called "Airliner". The plane looks a little bit like a Piper and has a closed cockpit. Therefor it should be a lot more comfortable for people who are sensitive to motion sickness. :)

One of the biggest changes in the update is that we've integrated our first helicopter called "Little Copter". We think we've managed to develop a flight system that is both challenging but not to hard for beginners. The helicopter is also a level one vehicle so that people can choose from three different types at the start. They should be comfortable in the regards of simulator sickness as you can't do rolling and loopings etc. It will still be very intense in regards of heights! ;) We made it a little bit slow so that people won't crash to fast. :P
We are really excited about your feedback! Helicopters are adding so much variety to the game, especially in the gameplay mechanics. We are really happy to have them in TPH.

The other cool feature that we've added is the new gamemode "Capture the Flag". The bots are able to play it so there won't be any problems in case there is nobody online. (There are not a lot of HMD's out there, so we made sure that it is fun against bots. ;) )

We've played it with three people and it was really intense. I was defending the flag with my helicopter and the other people tried to catch the flag. You really have to develop some strategies for this gamemode! :)

Overall we've also made a lot of smaller changes and bugfixes. For example: You now get a "cloud" message once you shot a plane so that you know who you shot.

Anyway we hope you like the changes and the direction Toy Plane Heroes is going! We still have a lot planned so stay tuned! :)
