- 1.1.5 - 2 to 6 DOF compatibility! - 4 March 2022
Hi guys, In our first update in 2022, we are introducing the ability to use Helicopter Simulator VR 2021 on a DOF base motion!

Telemetry data: Configuration example:
- 1.1.4 - TRIGGER FIRE can be Configurable. - 7 June 2021
Hi guys! 1.1.4 is an improvement to allow users to select if VR Joysticks trigger fires or not the Flare and the Machine Gun. This is better for users with Valve Index and other VR devices that only have one button on in the reach of the palm of the hand or indicator finger. Hope you are having fun with the Machine Gun we released last week! Other updates are coming!!! Enjoy!
- 1.1.3 - Machine gun and more six missions! - 5 June 2021
In the 1.1.3 update we are proud to say: The Machine Gun has finally arrived! We did our best to bring a new add-on to your helicopter along with specific missions for it! The Machine Gun! ------ It was supposed to be a DLC but we will release it FREE for all of you. It took several hours of development and a lot of effort! So I hope you like it! If you want to give us developers an incentive, we've turned the old DLC into a "Buy me a Coffee" ------ Those are the missions we added: - Machine Gun Tutorial - Missile Launcher Truck - Incoming Humvees - Attack - Beginning Of The War. - Tank Apocalypse - Free Flight: FREE to everyone, to explore The Desert! Destroy Missile Launchers, Humvees, and Tanks - and the tanks attack you! It's not going to be easy to protect yourself, your military base and shoot at moving targets! Be ready for this amazing challenge in VR! Hope you enjoy it!
- 1.1.2 - TRIGGER FIRE and BUG FIXES - 27 May 2021
The desert scenery is really amazing! We managed to optimize it even more and we are creating a very nice list of missions for you! The machine gun is also ready and we are finishing everything to publish next week! Some of you asked and we put the trigger on the VR joystick to shoot flares and also, in the future, the machine gun. If you use GAMEPAD or HOTAS the trigger is already configured as default, but you can also configure the trigger on the control configuration screen. We fixed some bugs, including the grab bug that some of you identified. Thanks for that by the way! Hope you guys are enjoying it! Have a nice week!

Next week we finally launched Machine Gun and several tasks in the "The Desert" scenario! Thank you for playing!

I still like to grab it before use the trigger, but you can do whatever suits you more! - Fixed glitch in Fuel and Weather wheel on Main Menu. - Audio volume added: Master volume, to control the volume of all other volumes together. - Better texture compression - increased performance! Enjoy!

In addition to flying, it is also possible to chat with them and have a very immersive experience! If you leave the radio on, you can listen to all conversations between players. If you leave Auto Talk on, everyone will hear you. But there is also the option of "Push to talk", that your audio will only be shared when pressed. Configure the multiplayer audio options on your joystick, gamepad, or keyboard!
