Bohemia Interactive has released a new blog post over at the official site for their upcoming helicopter simulation, Take On Helicopters, talking about the game’s animations. Take On Helicopters is due out on Windows PCs come October 27, 2011.

For Take On’s animations, we decided to create a long list, prioritised by the must have, should have, and the awesome-but-unlikely-to-have, given what happened to the horse last time (we’re just kidding, the horse was actually very professional).  Animations were also divided up into those taking place inside a helicopter (such as using a video camera) and those taking place outside (such as inspecting a tail rotor). Within each category we identified those which are very specific (such as a complicated ‘get in’ animation’) and those which are more generic, like signalling to a helicopter in the air.
