The third mission, "Lost and Found," had us piloting a helicopter to rescue Vic's friend Louise, and then his inept brother, Lance. Choppers in VCS are actually pretty demanding, and the analog nub doesn't make it any easier. To go forward, you need to inch your nose downward - but not too far down, or you'll just dive toward the ground. Likewise, lowering your altitude requires a gentle touch on the decelerator, or you risk dropping like a stone.
After we'd rescued Lance from the roof of a burning building, it was time to take revenge on the people who'd set him up. They were fleeing on a trio of boats, so we had to catch up to them and fly low, enabling Lance to pick off the crew with a machinegun. The more our chopper wobbled, the worse Lance's aim got and the longer the mission took, but we eventually took out the bad guys, dropped Lance on an unmanned boat and took Louise back to shore.
