Shoot the water cannon to use the Apache's machine gun. Use the tear gas launcher to shoot the missiles. Both weapons have unlimited ammunition.

Zone a military base In SimCity 2000. One of the tiles that may appear will resemble the F-15 fighter jet from SimCopter. The SimCity 2000 Urban Renewal Kit may be used to make sure this happens. Then, fly over the F-15 in SimCopter, to have it turn into an Apache helicopter.

Men in bathing suits:
Go to the career game, then press [Ctrl] + [Alt] + X and type Warp me to career: 29. After that, press [Ctrl] + [Alt] + X and type Been there, done that. In a few seconds, about 300 men in bathing suits will appear. They will kiss each other and the pilot (you). Since there is no military helicopter in this level, fire tear gas at them. The Maxis employee who placed this feature in the game was fired. The game was recalled and another release was done without this secret.

Change difficulty level:
Run the "tweak.exe" program in the "tweak" sub-directory in the "simcopter" directory found on the CD-ROM.

Turbo and Dog mode:
Press [Ctrl] + [Alt] + X, type superpowermultiply, and press [Enter] during game play. A sound will confirm correct code entry. Press [Shift] while in flight to move faster. Exit the copter and press [Shift] to transform into a dog.

Time of day:
Press [Ctrl] + D to toggle between day and night.

Fly without a pilot:
Hold Q to take off. While your engine is revving up, press E to exit the copter. If done correctly, you will have gotten out of the copter while it is still running. Use the "View map outside of copter" code to fly your helicopter without a pilot. Note: Once this cheat has been used, it is impossible to land your copter. Press E to re-enter your copter.

Hint: Annoying City Hall:
Get in any helicopter. You will need a megaphone and a City Hall (large gray building with dome on top) in your city. Fly your helicopter to City Hall and place your spotlight directly on the dome at the top. Then, use your megaphone to say anything. One of three things can happen. You will either be shot at; citizens will be warped up to your helicopter and killed or injured in process; or City Hall will catch fire.

Hint: Mountain climbing:
Fly away from the city and, on any level in any helicopter, land on or near a mountain then you can exit. Then, walk around the mountain. Note: This is easier if the "Turbo and Dog mode" code is enabled. If you cannot find your helicopter, enable the I love my helicopter code.

Hint: Easy level completion:
Enable the "Fly an Apache helicopter" code. Fly around until you find a UFO and shoot it down. You should now have all your points. Return to base and exit your copter. This may done in any level.

Hint: Injuring Sims:
Hover near a person on the ground and press [F10]. That person (or someone nearby) will become injured, and you will be asked to medevac them. Note: You will lose 40 points.
Cody Pearson.

When flying in one of the helicopters, pick someone up and fly high up into the air. Then, in the corner where it shows the people in the copter, click on a Sim. Drag them to the screen and let them go. They will scream and fall. The screen will read "you injured Sim". Note: This may hurt your score.

Hint: Killing Sims:
Enable the "Fly an Apache Helicopter" code. Buy a rescue harness, then use the missiles or tear gas launcher to set a tall or medium sized building on fire. While the building is burning, you will see Sims on the roof. You will then be called on a rooftop rescue mission. Lower the rescue harness and grab a Sim in the Apache. Fly up a short distance, then bring up the rescue harness all the way. The Sim will begin to fall. Land and the Sim will be dead. Note: Do not land on the burning building. You will also be penalized many points for killing a Sim.

Use the Apache to shoot people on ground, or roofs of burning buildings.

Set a building on fire with a missile from the Apache. When people appear just hover nearby. The fire will begin to climb. The people will die when the building is completely burned and collapses.

Hint: Floating road:
Use SCURK to make a causeway across a small lake. Then, bulldoze the ramps and fill their former positions with water. Now, you have a floating road over a lake.

Hint: Alien temple:
Build a large hill in SCURK. Then in SimCopter, cover it with either a highway or regular road and it will look like a huge alien temple. The UFO will often hover around it.
Casey "Falcon".

Hint: Walk towards the Light:
Build several very long tunnels side by side in SCURK. Then, in SimCopter, park your chopper nearby. Get out and walk into the tunnels. You should see a large white expanse with hovercars going back and forth.

Hint: Chase a UFO
Enable the "Fly an Apache helicopter" code and fly around. A UFO should eventually appear in the game. 10 missile hits or 348 machine gun bullets from the Apache are needed to shoot down the UFO.

Hint: Easy money:
Enable the "Copter select" code. Enter the hanger and sell all the copters. Enable the code again and repeat to quickly build money.

Land in the middle of any road and stay there until you cause a traffic jam. Then, press [F6] and get out of the way. Note: You will lose $50 for causing it, but will get $100 for correcting it for $50 gain.

Take an injured Sim out of the copter. When you put him back in you will get $3.

Hint: Easy medevac points:
Enable the "Use megaphone outside of copter with [F6] to [F10] code. Land somewhere with a lot of people. Exit the copter, repeatedly press [F10] to mill about the people. Soon, they will begin firing shots at you, dancing, and collapsing (requiring you to medevac them). Also, you may find animals lying around -- you may pick these up as you would a medevac victim and put them in your helicopter. This is an easy way to score medevac points.

Get a helicopter which holds a lot of people and tear gas. Get a doctor from a hospital and drop him off the edge. The edge with the inside corner is best, as it gives you more room. Try to make the doctor fall as close to the wall as possible. The game will call a medvac if he lives, but do not worry if he dies. Go down in your helicopter and land so that you are facing the hurt or killed doctor. Immedietly tap A (Ascend) to take off and hover a bit off the ground. Wait for people to huddle around the doctor. Press T to fire a tear gas canister at them. The tear gas will explode and you should see the people sort of balancing on one foot, since it is a corner. They will have trouble getting away quickly, they will soon become injured. And this time it will not hurt you point-wise because it is the tear gas. If you are lucky (and used that corner), in a moment the game will state that your mission is accomplished (The Medvacs). This is because they are on the ground and are on hospital property. People will still, even though they are now okay, huddle around them. You can fire more tear gas and rack up points quickly.

Hint: Deformed body:
Enable the superpowermultiply code and wait for a medical evac. Land by the injured person, morph into a dog, and while being a dog, pick them up. Morph back into yourself, and your body will still be in the dog position, crouched down while walking with the Sim near your face.

Hint: Scared Sims:
Enable the superpowermultiply code and pick up some people in your helicopter. Go to a location with few buildings (outskirts work best) and hold [Shift] to make your helicopter go fast. Hold [Cursor Left] or [Cursor Right] to pull circles in the air. Your Sims will think they will crash after a while and freak out.

Hint: Nuclear power plant meltdown:
Enable the "Fly an Apache Helicopter" code and at one of the towers. After two or three missile hits, it should explode, destroying your copter. Most of the city should be either rubble or burning. Also, most of the people are either dead or in need of the ambulance.

Glitch: Walk on water:
Enable the superpowermuiltiply code then press [Shift] to turn into a dog. Run to the water. Press [Shift] again and you will be the pilot walking on water.

Glitch: Helicopter flies without you:
Exit the helicopter immediately before you lift off. It will fly off without you. Note: You can still get back in by pressing E.
D1FREEZE.

Glitch: Alien pilot:
Enable the superpowermultiply code and wait for a medevac emergency. Fly to the injured Sim and get out of your helicopter. Hold [Shift] to turn into a dog and walk over to the injured Sim to pick it up. Once you are carrying the Sim, release [Shift]. Your pilot will be mutilated and resemble some sort of alien.

Glitch: Exploding helicopters:
Enable only the I'm the CEO of McDonnell Douglas and select every copter. Hop into any copter except for the Apache, start the engine, and when you are about to lift off, press E to exit. If done correctly, you should be standing outside while your copter is flying upwards without you. Hop into the Apache, fly straight up and eventually you should see your previous copter. Shoot it with the machine gun and it will explode in mid-air. It will set fire to the area below, or the fire will hover in mid-air. Note. You can use this trick to fly all copters in the air at the same time and then hunt them down.
