Enhanced Edition When the next update will be released?

Greeting pilots! We haven't been releasing updates for a while, so let us tell you about what is happening with Heliborne development right now. The team is currently working on fixes of the Enhanced Edition. We are planning to release the next update in mid-October. Although it should fix most of the known issues, we still want to take some time and hear your feedback before we would upload the Enhanced Edition back to the main branch. As of today, most of the visual issues are fixed. Right now, our priority is the UI. You gave us a lot of feedback in that regard, so we have completely rebuilt all the main screens, including squadron builder and battle rooms. Here are a few examples of how the squadron builder will look like:

If you think we should improve anything here for better user experience, please share your ideas in the comments. Meanwhile, part of the team is working on the Xbox One version. We already have a stable version with good performance and full gamepad compatibility. This week we will focus on the network. We aim to finish all the critical parts and features of the Xbox build by the end of October and then proceed with testing. P.S. If you are new to Heliborne and wondering why the game looks different from the screenshots on the store page: there is an older version of the game on the main branch, the updated versionEnhanced Editionhas been temporarily transferred to beta versions. You can easily switch to it several simple steps: [olist]

Current Features

Updated simul-lite/arcade hybrid flight model that models over 70 different aspects of flight per helicopter.
Our Flight model melds the best of both worlds, and while being updated regularly, is in a state that we are very happy with. This includes momentum and inertia dynamics. This system will be expanded on with more realistic flight dynamics as the project grows.
41 Helicopter, Each with multiple weapons load-outs
The load-outs for each of our helicopters is based entirely on weapons systems that they would have, or did employ in active combat theaters and operations. You wont see a weapons loadout on our helicopters that is not historically accurate.
4 Major Mission Maps - Including Operation Nguyen Hue, Afghanistan, the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam, and Kosovo
All of our maps are "based" on historical conflicts and conflict locations.
2 Principle Game modes - Including standard skirmish, and Frontline mode that's currently exclusive to Operation Nguyen Hue
Skirmish mode is currently active on Afghanistan and Gulf of Tonkin and offers standard capture the flag gameplay. Operation Nguyen Hue offers the first glimpse at "Frontline" mode. As bases are captured by players, ground vehicles spawn in convoys and move across the map to fortify bases and positions.
Multiple AI controlled ground units in skirmish and Front-line mode
Tanks, Troop Carriers, and Anti-Aircraft Artillery vehicles make up the current roster of ground vehicles in Heliborne, more are planned.
Airborne Troops that can be deployed anywhere on the mapMANPADS or "Man-Portable Air Defense system" are just some of the "deploy-able" ground units that players can place anywhere, on any map. Not all helicopters carry these soldiers. Those that can, add a new level to the dynamic battlefield.
Three Classes of Helicopter from Attack, to Air-Assault, and Reconnaissance
Scout Helicopters are small, fast, and may or may not carry a small amount of soldiers. Attack Helicopters carry no troops and are dedicated to air-to-air or air-to-ground operations. Air-Assault helicopters typically carry a mix of troops and weapons and can fill multiple roles in combat.
Three Historical Tiers of Rotary Wing Aviation from 1950 to 2000
Helicopters are widely considered to have "Come of Age" during the Vietnam conflict, and over the following decades, helicopters have become integral to our very way of life. We seek to showcase Rotary wing aviation as it's evolved over four decades of conflict, support, and development.
