Another gameplay video from upcoming Thunder Helix retro-inspired flight sim. This time I'll be using EGA 16-color mode and be flying the Lewis utility helicopter. I will also try to tackle the campaign objectives in different order this time around.

Note that this is still pre-release beta build of the game. Initial release is in Early Access form, with more content planned to be added.

Since my last video, there were some fixes and tweaks. Hellgate missiles got proper loft trajectory which means they no longer will strike other objects/terrain on the way to their intended target. I could not showcase that however, since the Lewis helicopter is limited to unguided rockets and guns.
