Well said, me too. It’s made me more closely explore some of the enhanced city packs I bought at a slower pace (Singapore, Dubai, Cape Town) and like you said just revisiting cities (especially the newer PG locations) but seeing them from a different perspective while learning to better control the choppers is a lot of fun.
If you’re on PC and your system can handle it, I recommend the HPG H145 and Action Pack. It’s a bit pricey but the missions it gives opens up yet another way to play. You’re visiting cities but really have to be aware of your surroundings as you do the missions, then return to actual helipads at nearby hospitals etc, and it takes you to places you may never have gone on your own terms. There is a ton of extra free content available (for PC) that adds even more detail to this stuff too.
I’ve been putting a lot of hours into the Cabri since it came out and think it’s really very nice indeed.
If you are on PC you might be interested in my Top Airports thread, as I’ve recently added a bunch of helicopter related stuff there. Let me know if you can’t find it and I’ll drop a link
