Welcome to Helicopter Challenge

Results page for the Challenge

On this occasion, the objective is to build a fully operational and realistic helicopter, specialized for attack, assault and reconnaissance missions. Your helicopter can be invented, or inspired by an existing one, it can also be a replica. In this challenge, there is no dogfight, but helicopters will be tested on a specialized map, destroying tanks and other targets.


Note - Special prize

The winner of this challenge will have a special prize. He will have the honor of appearing on the posters of the military base of my next helicopter mod. In this way, all SimplePlanes users who download the mod, will see its nickname and its creation as winner of our challenge.

This is the poster in-game of the mod, you can appear here if win this challenge! Good luck!


Sneak peek of this helicopter mod

This is probably the best action map I have created for SimplePlanes. It is specific for attack helicopters and is clearly inspired by the Comanche Game of Novalogic. This is the secret map that I will test with your helicopters. It will be published when we have the winner of this challenge. Other interesting things about this mod, are some special elements, like this temple full of details and a new technique to model the terrain. But there are many surprises that I hope you will discover.

    I would assume it would need to have air-ground attack capabilities. You’ll get no points for tanks destroyed or weapons categories. I dunno why you would bother entering it into an attack helicopter challenge but I am interested in it. Of course I’m just reading the rules not making them @randomusername
