Thanks Dave for this awesome review of H-ELITE 1.1!

A "must have" for any iOS flight sim fan!!!!!
"Well, according to the "Tips for writing a great review" from Apple, I should keep this short and to the point - so I will start by simply saying the following:

If you are even remotely interested in flight sims, you NEED to purchase "H-ELITE". This is a top-notch helicopter sim, backed by an equally top-notch dev team.

H-ELITE will take you out of your office chair, and transport you to the world of "Recken Island"; where you will be responsible for stopping a hostile takeover by insurgents. You have your choice of 6 different helicopters to accomplish this mission, all of which exhibit an extremely high-fidelity flight model. And for those new to simming, there is a simplified control scheme available to use while you learn the ropes. To get to the point, this is an awesome flight sim which includes game elements so you have an objective (as opposed to sims where your main goal is to simply fly around).

And this awesome sim is backed by an awesome dev team. The folks who developed H-ELITE are constantly working to make the sim even better. In a very short period of time, the app grew to include 6 different helis, the dev team was able to accomplish this and get the update on the AppStore in a very timely fashion. And, they have been very responsive right from the beginning. I have never waited more than a day to get a response to any of my questions, and most of the time it was less than 12 hours. And they have always taken the time to get back to me personally, no "canned response" emails from these fine folks. Other devs should operate like these people do.

In summary, support awesome devs who work hard to create awesome apps. BUY THIS SIM!!!!!!!!!!"

1.1 Feedback

Beta 1.1 sent to a few testers, early this morning. Email received a few hours after:

"A big thank you to the H-Elite devs for working so hard to make this an awesome app, AND to make it compatible with as many devices as technologically possible. For anyone who is interested in flight, this app is a MUST HAVE! Also, kudos to the devs for releasing it at such a reasonable price point. At $3.99; there is no reason not to purchase it." Dave R.
