Helium Rain beta updated

We've updated the Helium Rain beta branch on Steam. This is an experimental release meant to ensure the next engine version works well (from Unreal Engine 4.19 to 4.20). Some other changes included here will be part of the next official update too, so you can either try them here or wait.

Fix joystick throttle not behaving in a controllable manner
Fix autopilot not cancelled by joystick controls
Fix unreadable HUD at 4K resolution

This new beta version is fully compatible with existing game saves, so it is safe to move from the main to beta branch, and back, without risk to your game progress. To enable the beta channel, right-click the game in Steam, go to the Properties menu and the Beta tab. Select the "Beta - Helium Rain Beta" entry and confirm the change. Thank you for playing Helium Rain, and please tell us of any issue !

Helium Rain is a single-player space simulation that places you at the helm of a spacefaring company. Exploration, trading, station-building, piracy are all options. You will need to master both real-time action and long-term strategy: destroying a freighter has a direct impact on the economy, while declaring war will make your spaceflight environment slightly more hostile...

12 playable ships with weapon and engine upgrades
Play fighters, bombers, cargos, corvettes or capital ships.
Realistic economy model
Take advantage of an accurate simulation of space trade to be the most competitive company. If diplomacy fails, blockades are in order.
Fast-paced combat with a Newtonian flight model
There is no speed limit in Helium Rain. You can fly at half a mile a second while aiming backwards !
Localized damage model for spacecrafts
Aim for critical systems in order to disable ships, kill their crew or capture targets.
Procedural contracts, world exploration, technology upgrades
Pick contracts and build your empire.
