About This Game

Fire Crew Simulator is a firefighting sim built for a crew. Up to 4 players work the same forest fire: pilots fly helicopters with water buckets slung underneath, someone takes the fire engine down the road, and together you stop the spread before the whole ridge goes up. Rather work alone? Climb the lookout tower and run the single-player campaign.

One map, one fire, up to 4 players.

Pick your seat. Everyone chooses a helicopter or the fire engine in the lobby.

Fly at your own level. Each player sets their own flight difficulty, so a first-time pilot and a Hard-mode veteran can share the same sky.

Split the work. Pilots fill up at the lake and hit the fire line from above. The fire engine holds the road and knocks down what the buckets miss.

Bigger crew, bigger fire. The more of you there are, the harder it burns. With 3 or 4 players the fire level goes up and extra fires start.

The host picks the mission and the time of day. When the last flame is out, everyone goes back to the lobby for the next one.

Pick a line, hold your speed, open the bucket. Water hits the flames, steam bursts up and the fire line breaks. Miss, and the fire keeps walking through the pines. The bucket hangs on a cable, swings through every turn and gets heavy when it is full. Fly the FC-1 Halcyon or the FC-2 Halcyon Twin, and unlock the heavy-lift FC-3 Atlas.

No refill menu. Lower the bucket into a lake, let it sink, pull it out full and feel the weight come on. Hover low and your rotor wash sprays the water around you.

Drive the fire engine along the forest roads and fight the flames from the ground. Throw a long straight stream to reach the tree line, then switch to a wide fog cone up close. Hunt down hot spots, and back off before the heat puts your truck out of service. Refill at the station, at water points or straight from a lake.

The fire moves tree by tree, and the wind carries embers ahead of the front. Crowns catch, trunks char black and burnt pines come down, sometimes onto the next one. Lose too much forest while it is still burning and the mission is over. Every drop you make early is forest you keep.

Playing solo, every day starts in the lookout tower. Scan the horizon with binoculars, find the smoke, plot it on the Fire Finder grid and choose the helipad you launch from. New missions open day by day, from quiet mornings to fires that burn into the night.

Easy: forgiving handling and an aim ring under the bucket. Just fly and drop.

Normal: the wind pushes you around, and a careless landing ends in a crash.

Hard: rate controls, a collective that stays where you leave it, and loss of control that comes from the physics: vortex ring state, blade stall, tail rotor trouble, engine flameout and autorotation. No aim ring.

Fly from the chase camera or from a cockpit with working analog gauges. Full gamepad support.
