Greetings, Pilots. We have an important announcement from your Community Manager - Marcus a.k.a Chairborne. Dear fellow Heliborners! It's been two years now since I have begun working as the community manager for our beloved Heliborne. When I started I had high hopes of revitalizing the game and, like so many of you, ideas for new features. Due to other priorities and the use of resources for those, the expectations could not be fully realized. Now, it is time for me to move on. I thank all of you for your support and cooperation. I also want to express my thanks to each and every one at Klaba

Greetings Pilots, The servers in the European region are currently not working for Heliborne: Enhanced Edition (it works for Oldborne). This is due to server maintenance that is currently underway. We are in touch with our partners to minimize the effects on you, and we are working hard to ensure that the maintenance is completed as quickly as possible. We are unable to provide an estimate of how long the maintenance will last, but rest assured that we are doing everything we can to manage it as quickly and efficiently as possible. Please bear with us during this time, and we will keep you upd

Attention Pilots! Recently there have been problems with logging into Heliborne occurring. The issue is that whenever a player tries to launch the online game, the message: "Steam Authentication failed" pops up. We are aware of that issue, so we immediately took steps and made contact with Steam - it seems, however, there are some difficulties - the connection with Steam tends to fail from time to time; as we wait for their reply, we are investigating possible error sources. One of the concepts is that it could be connected with an authentication certificate or software/OS update. We are conta

Hello Heliborne Community, It came to our attention that recently, there were comments from some Heliborne community members that we will close the servers. In short, there is no such plan, nor is there such need. Therefore, we are not going to shut down the service. Consequently, you do not need to worry about your game being discontinued. As mentioned in earlier messages, we will reveal further development plans for the franchise as soon as we gather the necessary resources. Meanwhile, please refer to our Community Manager Markus, a.k.a. Chairborne for more details. Thank you a lot for your

Hi there, Pilots! We've been reading your reports on the connectivity issues plaguing your playthroughs recently on PS4 and Xbox - we’ve identified the possible key culprits behind these problems and we are currently investigating how to take care of these ASAP. To share some light on the source of the problem, it seems there are differences in the Photon service between PC and consoles, one of them causing a randomized problem affecting connection time out’s and eventual disconnections from server. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/11885942/5eea9c3b6f1f3c23e7fc7b93ba814c3fd940ab53.png We are diligently work

Hello aviators! Let's meet once again, let's do this as we did it last time and let's roll and prepare ourselves for some aerial strikes. I would really like to invite you all to a friendly encounter once again. As always, we will have a couple of rounds, and will determine who is rusty and who is not. This time it could not be that obvious. November is a time of sales, so our good ol' Heliborne will have some as well - it means, new blood could arise and prove their place in the hierarchy. Or will they? Let's meet on Saturday, NOVEMBER 27th. Join me at 6 PM CET / 9 AM PT / 12 pm ET and get th

Hello again pilots! I am really happy to once again invite all pilots to another round of the event: Chopper Jockey Roundtable. Time for round II. All available aviators are invited to join in on Heliborne classic ("Oldborne"/Legacy) on Saturday, August 14th, at 6:00 PM CEST - (9:00 AM PDT). I'd be really glad if we create as many matches as possible, be it PvP or PvE - it all depends on what's your demands, pilots. Let's make an aviation encounter and test your hand to decide who, currently, is the best helicopter pilot. For more information, reach me on the Heliborne Discord, Chairborne #150

Hello Heliborne Community, My name is Markus, and some of you may know me under my in-game nickname “Chairborne”. Being 45 years old, I am rather old for a gamer, or it only seems like that to me. Ever since the first 8-bit home computers came out in the mid-1980s, I enjoyed computer gaming, primarily military and simulation software. My professional background as a retired soldier and paramedic/firefighter has given me some inside look into the world of helicopters. So it is no wonder that once I came across Heliborne, back then still in early access, I immediately got hooked on the game. It

Greetings Pilots! In today’s update, we have three important pieces of news for you. Firstly, Daily Deal with a special price. Secondly, we come with the next portion of fixes, this time, as brought up earlier, for Heliborne Enhanced Edition. Thirdly, a recruitment announcement - we are looking for a worthy pilot to become our representative of PC and Xbox editions. Read more below. DAILY DEAL Steam supported us with a Daily Deal, which means we are featured on the main page for 24 hours. Heliborne Collection will be exposed to more Steam users, so we expect new players to join the game soon.

Greetings Pilots! We have an important message and updates to pass on today. We’ll try to keep it short and not tl;dr. Briefly: New launcher - new Steam product name - Heliborne patch - Discord updates - brief development status NEW GAME LAUNCHER In today’s patch, we introduced a new launcher. From now on, you can choose what Heliborne edition to play without switching between the branches. This will make the Heliborne game structure more transparent for the new customers, and we hope not much more complex for existing ones. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/11885942/95067aa5f80ad01c26b324a50a549fc25c52cc4b.

Greetings Pilots! 2020 is coming to an end (hopefully!), but we managed to squeeze in one more significant update for you. Thank you for your patience so far. Thanks for supporting our game and providing us valuable feedback throughout the year! We hope that Heliborne, despite turbulence, was an enjoyable destination during the compulsory lockdowns, and hopefully, next year, there are going to be voluntary entries only ;-) Meanwhile remember - Red over white, you’ll be alright! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/11885942/9b816d8627f62aa89ae5d54789fe8ad551848caf.jpg Here comes the 2nd major and the last in 202

Greetings Pilots! Patch 2.1.0 is here! It's one of the major patches planned for Enhanced Edition. We plan at least one more huge update later this month, so please stay tuned. This one however is very important, since we have changed the UI according to notes and reports from our community. Hope you will enjoy it. New: The lobby received a second full UI overhaul. Most of the helicopters received new (fake) names and descriptions due to licensing restrictions. Changed: Simplified water for Tonkin, Africa, Fznamznon. Removed yellow glow from helicopter models on Binomo. Water reflection no lon
