We have update!

European buildings! Tunnels! Custom vehicles!

I read it as European buildings! Traps! Custom vehicles!

And I was like, why would you need traps in a city building game? "sounds fun" xD

And then I read it again. Too much dwarf fortress

I opened 2 tabs, one for this game and the other for cataclysm DDA and i was, wait what o.O? European building? Tunnels? CUSTOM Vechicle??? I dont get it i justed finished a game where i was modifing my... You get the gist. Then realised i was in city skyline tabs.... I really need to go to sleep.

On the other hand, COOL!!! for these addition on city skyline.

Ok little bit of a Necro, but who here remembers one of the best games of all time Sim Copter?

...Noone?

Ok well somebody seems to have started a mod attempting to recreate sim copter in Cities skylines.  You get to fly around your city in a helicopter! with collision and everything!  There seems to be a few bugs still (I had to turn collission off in the options to get off the helipad, but it can be turned back on while flying) but it's pretty darn awesome and I'd love to be able to fly around my cities again, like back in the day when I'd load up my simcity 2000 city in sim copter.  From what it looks like the dev even wants to implement missions like what you had in sim copter in the future.

I screwed around with it a little bit, and while I forgot to take a screenshot of me flying around in the city itself I have a screenshot of me flying over a very nice stream outside the city limits.

The mod itself is on the steam workshop here.  And here's the youtube trailer for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBXuex4_B9Q

Simcopter was the only reason I kept SimCity 2000 installed on my computer as long as I did.  If this becomes even half as good I figure this will probably one of the best mods here.

Dude sim copter was one of my favorite games.  I loved it!

[timferius]

Ahhhhhh yes, sim copter was amazing. Such huge worlds! amazing graphics! One of the first sandboxes I really got hooked on.

[Putnam]

And the speedo men with glowing nipples! Glorious.

[Arx]

I've always had mixed feelings about the fact that I think I got my copy after that was patched. I remember SimCopter, though. And the trippy ending scene.

[LoSboccacc]

loved sim copter but even more loved streets of sim city, even with all the 45° slopes weirdness

Not sure if you're going to see this, but how does the helicopter handle? Does it feel realistic to fly, or is it more arcade-like?

[Greiger]

Helicopter does not seem to handle very easily right now.  You need to pitch in a direction to move forward or backward, which seems right, but currently forward and backward is controlled by the mouse.  Mouse also controls turning the helicopter around on it's axis which feels a bit awkward.   A and D control pitch to the left or right, while w and s control the speed of the rotors.

[Arx]

If they just bound forward/backward pitch to W/S instead and up/down to Q/E I'm pretty sure they'd have the original control scheme, which I liked. Using the mouse to turn and move forward and backward sounds weird.

[PTTG??]

Japa's rural station is apparently the seventh most popular cities: skylines mod on steam.

What does everyone think of the upcoming dlc?

Looks really good to me, especially for the first one.
