Paradox Interactive’s Cities: Skyline<\/a> has clearly taken city building fans by storm. While the latest SimCity<\/a> failed to keep fans happy, with broad range of problems, this city sim from small Finnish developer Colossal Order appears to do just what EA’s game didn’t.<\/p>\n

One of those things is explicit support for game mods by the community. This open attitude means fans can create and share additions and alterations to Cities: Skyline. Those mods are already coming thick and fast, and one user shared his upcoming mod ‘CityCopter’ on Reddit. This in-development mod will let you fly a helicopter around the city you have created. Check out the video below.<\/p>\n

So far the mod includes a helicopter hangar and helicopter, with a visible cockpit and rotors. It already has collision detection, so the helicopter won’t fly through buildings, but creator Nisquity<\/a> hasn’t announced what the full feature set will be. Reddit commenters have already asked for mission based gameplay to be included, but as it’s currently being developed by a one man team, this could take some time.<\/p>\n

Cities: Skyline wasn’t designed to be viewed from such angles, so don’t expect the game to look like Grand Theft Auto<\/a> just because you’re piloting a helicopter, but as you can see from the video it’s looking pretty cool so far.<\/p>\n

There is no planned release date yet, but as the mod is obviously up and running we hope it’ll be available to everyone soon.<\/p>\n

Cities: Skyline<\/a> is available for Windows and OS X (and Linux!).<\/p>\n
