Bohemia Interactive Studios are going all out with Take On Helicopters, the studio's newest game focusing on civilian helicopter piloting. A developer blog and tutorial videos and images have been released in preparation for the game's release October 27. See it all below.

Take On Helicopters! Probably the only game that will ever get me interested in flying civilian whirly birds in a video game. I've read a lot about Take On Helicopters, looked at lots of videos and screenshots and played a bit with the preview code of the game provided by Bohemia Interactive Studio. Oddly enough, this game interests me. It shouldn't if you look at it on paper. I mean, where are the grand explosions and fast action combat? But there is a strange sense of wonder flying these machines in the game. It's hard to explain, but I look forward to getting my hands on the final release.

Oddly enough, Bohemia Interactive Studios are actually in the process of testing Take On Helicopter tutorials with focus groups. Something so many companies refuse to do these days. Below, enjoy a quick video tutorial, which demonstrates some of the simulation aspects of Take On Helicopters, and several new screenshots.
