This user guide is divided into four sections, the first deals with helicopters purchased from the game store, the second deals with helicopters purchased during the discount super sales, the third deals with helicopters obtained through the special events, the fourth section deal with flight and repair items. The first option will always be available through your game, the second option will only become available during discount super sales, the third option you will need to obtain a special red helicopter from the mysterious airplane bonus, and the fourth deals with helicopter flight items and helicopter repairs items.
There are three helicopter class types for sale, Standard Class, S1 Class and S2 Class. The standard class helicopters fly at normal speeds, whereas the S1 and S2 class helicopters fly at increased speeds of 10% and 30%, to fifteen designated flight destinations (five destinations each), but the helicopters will come at a price, with Gold Tokens and Silver Tokens being needed. The helicopters also fly to special event destinations, last year the event took place in November 2019. There are also Special Red Class Helicopters (Red Sparrow, Red Crossbill and Red Goldfinch), these can not be purchased, but can only be received randomly as rewards during special events, under the Premium Class Pass Ticket. The helicopters will increase your flight income 100%
It will be important to understand that how long you have been playing your game, at what game level you are on and how you have progressed your game, will go a long way to determine your ability to collect gold tokens and silver tokens. The gold tokens will take time to collect in large quantities, whereas silver tokens will be easier to collect in large quantities, but both coloured tokens will be needed to purchase the S1 and S2 class helicopters.
You will need landing pads for each of the helicopters, you will need to purchase buildings and upgrade them, you will need fuel, tourists and flight items. The helicopters have their own unique set of flight items, fuel and tourists, separate from those used by the planes. The required items will need to be generated by the following buildings e.g. Tourist Buildings, Resource Base, Mechanical Plant, Hi-Tech Plant, Fuel Station H and Terminal H. You will need a considerable amount of land to accommodate the buildings (it will be important to note, you will not be able to remove some of the buildings, once you have placed them in your game). All these will come at a price, and you will need to consider this very carefully, along with all the other aspects of your game which you will want to be involved with.
It will be important to mention that the rewards of experience points and coins, earned from returning helicopter flights, will be small to begin with. The rewards earned, from completing flights to collect stars, will also be small to begin with. The amount of rewards will improve as you progress your game long term. You will have the option to increase your reward levels with a selection of bonuses, which you will be able to make use of with your fleet of helicopters e.g. Compass, Tourist Visa, Hot Lunch, Gold Propeller etc.
You will need to purchase and make solid the Alliance Office building, which can be placed on both sides of your game. The building will cost 10,000 gold coins, you will also need to complete the side bar mission, A United Front, in order to be able to purchase S2 helicopters (this also applies to S2 planes). It will be good idea to have the building in place, before you spend your gold tokens and silver tokens, otherwise you will need to wait for the construction of the building to be completed, before you make the building solid and live. You will also need to be a member of an Alliance Group. It will be important to have these three things in place, otherwise the S2's will not be available to you.
THE GAME SCREEN MENU OPTIONS
Along the bottom row of your game screen, you will find eight rectangular button options, centred in the middle of the screen. The 1st icon Flights Menu, 2nd icon Operative Hangar, 3rd icon Game Store Menu, 4th icon Warehouse Menu, 5th icon Collections Menu, 6th icon Game Site Management, 7th icon Alliance Group Information, Ratings World Map and Tables, Gift Items, Neighbours and 8th icon Settings Menu and Social Media. To access the Game Store Menu, you will first need to select the 3rd Icon (Silver Shopping Trolley).
SECTION ONE:- THE GAME STORE MENU
To access the game store menu you will then need to select the 4th Icon, (Silver Helicopter), located along the top row of the game store menu. The menu will be in two parts, on the left hand side will be all the helicopters for sale, Standard Class, S1 Class, S2 Class, on the right hand side of the menu will display brief information for each of the helicopters you select, the helicopter tourist seat capacities, the flight destinations to National Parks (standard class), Water Falls (S1 class), Mountains (S2 class) and the speeds at which the S1 class and S2 class helicopters fly.
The standard class helicopters can be purchased with gold coins, they are relatively inexpensive to buy, whereas the S1 and S2 class helicopters can only be purchased with gold tokens and silver tokens, from the game store. The S2 class type helicopters will only be available to forum members, who are members of alliance groups. You will also be able to purchase them through the discount super sales with green notes.
Sparrow Collection Chest - Game Level 7
Crossbill Collections Chest - Game Level 22
Goldfinch Collections Chest - Game Level 35
SECTION TWO:- THE DISCOUNT SUPERSALES
The S1 and S2 class helicopters can be purchased during the super sales, at a 50% discount, which will take place four times a year, during Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. The helicopters can only be purchased with green notes. When the discount super sale opens, you will find a large round red and yellow icon, it will have a large percentage sign in the centre and with a counter, located on the right hand side of your game screen. The icon will remain on the screen for a few days, during which you will be able to purchase S1 and S2 class helicopters: The S2 class type helicopters will only be available to forum members, who are members of alliance groups.
The S1 and S2 class helicopters will be mixed in with other discount super sale items e.g. S1 and S2 Class Planes, Mystery Super Buildings, Mystery Bonus, Mystery Super Bonus, Map Sets, Collections Chests and Helicopter Collection Chests, so you will need to be very careful not to purchase the wrong item. If you purchase an item in error, it will not be possible to undo your purchase.
SECTION THREE:- THE SPECIAL EVENTS
You will not be able to purchase the Special Red Helicopters through normal game play, you will only be able to obtain them from the Mysterious Aircraft Bonus (you will receive one random Sparrow, Crossbill, Goldfinch helicopter when you open the bonus) through the special events Premium Class Ticket Pass, which you will need to pay to access during the event.
For more detailed information with regards to special events throughout the year, you will need to read through the following user guide, The Airport City Game - All The Twenty Six Special Events Throughout The Game Years For 2023, https://www.airportcitygame.com/thr...uring-the-game-years-for-2023-v8-31-24.28060/
SECTION FOUR:- HELICOPTER FLIGHT ITEMS, HELICOPTER REPAIR ITEMS AND THE REPAIR BUILDINGS
This section of the user guide displays all the flight items required to undertake helicopter flights, items required for the repairs of helicopters and the repair buildings needed. It will be a good idea to have a well stocked warehouse, so you will be able to undertake flights and make repairs as and when you need to. You will be able to save yourself a considerable amount of play time in this manner, by ensuring you are well stocked, otherwise you will need to wait to obtain the items before you are able to undertake flights and make repairs.
The sixteen items can only be obtained from the following three buildings, Hi Tech Plant (purchase price 45,000 gold coins), Mechanical Plant (purchase price 8,000 gold coins) and Resource Base L1-L3 (purchase price 150 gold coins, 2,500 gold coins, 28,000 gold coins). You will also need the following three buildings, Fuel Station H L1-L6 (this will produce the helicopter fuel), Terminal H L1-L6 (this will determine your tourist capacity) and Tourist Buildings (this will produce the tourists).
BUILDINGS, HELICOPTERS AND LAUNCH PADS
There are many helicopter related buildings which can not be sold from your game or moved to your warehouse, they will be a permanent feature on the airport side of your game, after you have purchased them and they have become solid and live. This is so for the Fuel Station H (all levels), Repair Base H (all levels), Terminal H (all levels), Command Centre (all levels), Hi Tech Plant and Meteorlogical Lab. The rest of the buildings can be removed and sold, Resource Base (all levels), Helicopters and Helicopter Launch Pads (all levels). As to the reason why this is so, is hard to say, you will therefore need to keep this in mind.
THE DECISION
There are many forum members who look apon helicopters as a distraction from the more important aspects of Airport City e.g. flight destinations, excavation map flights, adventure map flights, alliance map flights, the space program, the city side and airport side land expansions, upgrading the main buildings, gifting to neighbours, the collection of resources from neighbours e.g. fuel, passengers, flight items etc.
Once you have reached this point in the user guide, and knowing what you now know, it will be for you to decide if the S1 and S2 class helicopters are worth buying, or if the standard class helicopters will meet your needs, when engaged with helicopter related activities. This is a decision which only you can make, you should not make the decision in a hurry.

BUILDINGS, HELICOPTERS AND LAUNCH PADS
There are many helicopter related buildings which can not be sold from your game or moved to your warehouse, they will be a permanent feature on the airport side of your game, after you have purchased them and they have become solid and live. This is so for the Fuel Station H (all levels), Repair Base H (all levels), Terminal H (all levels), Command Centre (all levels), Hi Tech Plant and Meteorlogical Lab. The rest of the buildings can be removed and sold, Resource Base (all levels), Helicopters and Helicopter Launch Pads (all levels). As to the reason why this is so, is hard to say, you will therefore need to keep this in mind.
THE DECISION
There are many forum members who look apon helicopters as a distraction from the more important aspects of Airport City e.g. flight destinations, excavation map flights, adventure map flights, alliance map flights, the space program, the city side and airport side land expansions, upgrading the main buildings, gifting to neighbours, the collection of resources from neighbours e.g. fuel, passengers, flight items etc.
Once you have reached this point in the user guide, and knowing what you now know, it will be for you to decide if the S1 and S2 class helicopters are worth buying, or if the standard class helicopters will meet your needs, when engaged with helicopter related activities. This is a decision which only you can make, you should not make the decision in a hurry.
