SKYSAVIOR Helicopter Services news & patch notes

Calling all units!

We're bringing you another highly anticipated feature: the ability to dispatch vehicles to a specific mission. Many pilots become overwhelmed, and ground support can be invaluable.

In this update you will find:

CHANGES:

• Vehicle dispatch is available (police and ambulances only. Firefighters in the next update);

• Some cargo spawn points on the map have been changed;

• Helicopter autorotation when fuel runs out has been implemented;

• Helicopter physics have been improved (upward and downward acceleration variables have been improved, and the helicopter's weight now has a noticeable influence);

• Funny sounds have been implemented when the pilot drops a wounded soldier on the ground;

• Improved logic for medics and police officers;

FIXES:

• Fixed cargo disappearance (in specific situations) when the pilot enters the hangar;

• Fixed an issue where military personnel would disappear while waiting on the destroyer;

• Auto-focus has been implemented on the close button in an error message;

Fireworks in the sky!

Our community is growing every day here on Steam, on Discord, on social media... and with growth, it's natural that many ideas and requests arise along the way. But for those who have recently arrived at the hangar, knowing what's happening and where we're going is a mystery.

That's why we're announcing a new, updated roadmap that gives us details of what's to come!

Before proceeding, we would like to thank everyone who gave their suggestions, and if your suggestion does not appear in the list below, don't be discouraged! New updates are coming.

- TV crew;

- Fertilizer spraying;

Looking back (over the last 4 months) we realize how much we've evolved in the game and as a group as a whole. We are very happy with everything we have already delivered, adjusted and fixed, and for everything we are planning to deliver.

Thank you very much and have a good flight.

Hello Pilots!

A quick but important update. As requested by the community, this version includes a difficulty selector with 5 levels! This selector is located in the hangar on the pilot's screen, and yes, you can switch between difficulties at any time whenever you want.

Some things weren't ready in time for this update and will be available soon. Come join our Discord server and consider helping us in any way you can.

Hello Pilots!

Those who have been following our Discord server know that the community has given many suggestions, and as always, we listen to everyone and implement the best ideas.

But before we move on to the list, an important notice! We decided to release this update without the voice acting yet; there's a lot of material that we need to correct and redo, so we'll postpone it to future updates.

Some things weren't ready in time for this update and will be available soon. Come join our Discord server and consider helping us in any way you can.

Hello again pilots!

We started our 2026 development cycle by delivering missions to you, but as we always listen to the community, we've come up with another update to implement some minor improvements.

CHANGES:

• The pilot is penalized if he intentionally drowns a person during a rescue mission at sea;

• The pilot is penalized if he releases the capture net too high and the person falls to the ground;

• Now it's possible to drop people off on nearby boats instead of just leaving them on the shore;

• We've implemented the anti-aliasing option;

FIXES:

• We fixed the glow of the building lights;

• We fixed the texture quality to smooth out the anti-aliasing;

Hello pilots!

January is over and we're bringing you not one, but two new missions. Be aware that to complete them, you must use the new equipment available at the fire department.

Be very careful when rescuing people from the sea, because for them to be able to get back in, the equipment must be as still as possible! Of course, the winds can make things difficult, so your skills will be put to the test!

CHANGES:

• High-sea rescue missions are now available (full version only);

FIXES:

• The timers were not reset when the pilot blew up the helicopter carrying patients on a medical evacuation mission;

• Some information was not displayed if the pilot did not perform any missions when the time limit was reached;

Come join our Discord server and consider helping us in any way you can.

Central calling...

Updates regarding the medical evacuation mission and other minor corrections.

CHANGES:

• Emergency counters are now appearing for patients on medical evacuation missions;

• Patients vomit occasionally (you read that right!);

• The heart rate monitor sounds now beep according to the patient's health status;

• A problem has been fixed where the paramedic would occasionally not board the helicopter when a medical mission arose;

FIXES:

• Painting and decals for the Shield H205 has been remade;

• The game window has now returned to being centered in windowed mode;

• A problem that prevented the editor from opening since version 0.9.322 has been fixed;

Control tower calling!

We have been informed by the ufology department that flying objects have been detected in Earth's orbit. Initially, we urge caution from everyone, but all police stations have been notified in case of any close encounter.

Below are the procedures for taking down these objects:

1. Upon receiving the mission, the pilot must immediately proceed to the nearest barracks or police station (indicated by a blue circle on their screen);

2. The helicopter must approach the available armament to load weapons;

3. After loading, the pilot must quickly intercept the UFO and approach to fire the projectiles;

4. The pilot must remain at a maximum distance of 700 meters to lock onto the target (this considerably increases the chances of hitting the target), after locking onto the target, the shot must be fired.

5. Last but not least, the pilot can choose the appropriate type of weaponry for the kill by pressing the corresponding button;

We wish everyone good luck and may God protect us!

Attention Pilots!

We're finally releasing another patch bringing new features and fulfilling many community requests!

CHANGES:

• UFO shootdown mission unlocked (full version of the game only);

Hello pilots!

My name is Raphael Albuquerque, and let me introduce myself. I've been working with games since 2009 and am currently the development lead for this project. First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who is participating and helping to create an active and enthusiastic community around this title. We are also very excited!

We want to tell you a little about our plans because we believe that by bringing everyone into our daily lives, you'll get an idea of ​​what's to come (and there's a lot).

Firstly, when reviving a title like this, we must be careful to maintain the original essence of the game, but at the same time update some mechanics to better meet the expectations of current players.

Below is a summary of our priorities:

1. Deliver all content as soon as possible (missions and helicopters that are on the development list);

2. Create a tutorial that introduces the controls and peculiarities of each specific mission (we believe this can be done right at the beginning of the game, without a menu option for it);

3. Create Steam achievements, cloud saves, and all the cool things the platform offers its players;

You might be wondering when all the requests you've made to us in the community will be delivered? Isn't that important too?

Our answer is: "It's very important and they will be released with each release cycle, as our team completes testing." (We believe many more requests will still be made by the community).

Finally, this first week of release was better than we imagined! We're taking off thanks to the help of everyone who gave us feedback and we will continue with constant updates (almost daily) to make the gaming experience incredibly fun and nostalgic!

Thank you very much and have a good flight.

Another delivery completed with the new patch 0.9.313. Listening to the community to develop the changes. We haven't had time to deliver everything yet, but what matters is not stopping!

CHANGES:

• We've adjusted the experience values ​​for all missions;

• We've included valuable tips during the loading screen;

• A message was created when the pilot lands at the helipad, informing them of the repair and refueling process;

FIXES:

• The cars will no longer move towards the helicopter if the helicopter approaches the street too quickly;

Please consider helping us in any way you can. Your help may be credited in the game!

Control tower sending call...

A brief guide on how to proceed in each specific mission and avoid being penalized.

TRANSPORT OF PASSENGERS, ORGANS AND PRISONERS

When you receive a mission of this type, you will notice that the icon on your screen will show a diamond shape (indicating the mission code and the distance to your point of origin). Upon arrival, the person will be waiting to board the aircraft. Once the passenger boards, another icon with the same code appears in a square format (this time indicating the destination and its distance). Now you just need to take the passengers there and they will disembark automatically.

CARGO TRANSPORT

The same logic used for passenger transport missions applies here (simply bring your helicopter close to dock), but avoid damaging the cargo to avoid penalties. Also, do not drop the cargo from a great height.

FIRE FIGHTING (BUILDINGS AND VEHICLES)

Before reaching the mission's starting point, the pilot must attach the Bambi Bucket to a fire station. After attaching, the pilot must fill it with seawater or water from a nearby pool. The pilot must have the skill to extinguish the fire (hint: change the camera view), so do not get too close to avoid damaging the helicopter.

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AND MEDICAL EVACUATION

Yes, these are two different types of missions! In medical assistance, the pilot needs to board a paramedic and transport them to the injured person's location. (The logic is the same for a passenger transport mission.)

In medical evacuation missions, the pilot can board a paramedic to take them to the location, or they can carry the injured person themselves into the aircraft. (Yes! The pilot carries people in their arms!). But here's an important piece of information: we are considering differentiating the bonus depending on whether the pilot carries the person or the paramedic carries them.

That's all for now, pilots. We wish you all a safe flight! (Has anyone seen Santa Claus today?)

Control tower calling!

Please consider helping us in any way you can. Your help may be credited in the game!

We are proud to announce that we are releasing early access to SKYSAVIOR.

After months of hard work, dedication, and adjustments, we are finally ready to bring SKYSAVIOR Helicopter Services to the public! It is with enormous excitement that we announce the start of early access, and you player, have been a crucial part of getting us here!
