Fly an Apache helicopter:
Enable the "Copter select" code. Then, return to the hanger and press 1 through 9 in order at the copter catalog. Exit the hanger and walk around to one of the sides. A green Apache with machine guns will be available.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Ten missile hits 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.

Hint: Easy medevac points:
Enable the "Use megaphone outside of copter with [F6] - [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.

Glitch: Sim on helicopter:
Get in your helicopter. Press E to exit nine times until your helicopter pilot is on your wing of the helicopter.
