Money can be spent to repair a helicopter. The more damage there is to the helicopter, the harder it is to control. If the helicopter remains intact after falling to the ground, it can be refueled at a highly inflated price.Ĭrashing the helicopter into a building or slamming it into the ground will not destroy it instantly, but will damage it. If the helicopter runs out of fuel in mid-air, the player can either attempt to keep the motor spinning and land it, or just let it fall to the ground and suffer heavy damage. Helicopters have a limited fuel capacity and must return to the hangar about once every half hour to refuel, which costs money. Some jobs require certain equipment in order to complete them, and better helicopters offer greater speed, smoother handling, and greater passenger capacity. As the player accumulates money in the game, they can purchase better helicopters and newer equipment. The player starts with a small, weak helicopter that comes with just a megaphone and a bambi bucket it can only hold two passengers. Jobs will be randomly spawned around the city, but the player's actions can also create jobs. There are twelve levels of difficulty, with new types of jobs being introduced and previous types of jobs increasing in difficulty. The player then has a choice of going into a new city of the same difficulty or advancing to the next level. When the player has accumulated enough points, the game lets them move on to the next city. MEDEVAC or firefighting missions will result in large penalties if the victim dies or if the area gets destroyed by the fire. Some missions will eventually be canceled, resulting in a point loss or a forfeited reward after completion. Missions will take points from the player after a set amount of time from the start of the mission while it remains uncompleted. Money and points can also be lost if the player runs out of time or does not complete a mission. Money and points can be earned by completing missions. Once a speeder is pulled over, the helicopter must stay with it until a police car arrives to cite them for their reckless driving, or the speeder will take off again. Speeders can only be found by looking for a car that is belching exhaust behind it and squeals its tires when making turns. Eight jobs are available, namely traffic jams, fires, rescues (which may occur during fire missions), catching criminals, riot control, MEDEVAC, transporting Sims, and speeding cars. Criminals can be slowed down by either using the spotlight or calling out the "Stop Criminal" message through the megaphone. As soon as a police officer sees a suspect, they will remain in pursuit until the suspect is arrested.
If a police officer does not find a suspect, it will return to the helicopter. Dropped police officers will call out whether or not they see the suspect the officers need to be guided by the helicopter's spotlight. Criminals on foot can also be stopped by landing on top of them with the helicopter, which kills them, but also risks damage to the helicopter. Police cars can also be dispatched to aid in the arrest of a criminal. All types of criminals can be arrested by picking up a police officer from the roof of a police station, and then dropping them near the criminal. While all other criminals roam the streets by foot, burglars drive through the city at high speed and are difficult to catch. The career mode puts the player in the shoes of a pilot doing various jobs around a city. However, user cities sometimes need to be designed with SimCopter in mind most of the time, the player must increase the number of police stations, fire stations, and hospitals to allow for speedier dispatches. The user mode (free mode) lets the player fly around cities that they have created (which can be imported from SimCity 2000) or any of the 30 cities supplied with the game. There are two modes of play: user mode and career mode. SimCopter puts the player in the role of a helicopter pilot.
