This is not my merit, they are an exact copy of the original Odyssey

On my check list. :-)

Hm, an overhead view wont be easy (because the helicopter graphics are
made by missiles. In the original, the player controls something that
looks like an ugly mixture between R2D2 and a helicopter. And that is
viewed from the side too.

You mean some accelerating when flying into a new direction? I'm afraid,
combined with the grid the helps steering the helicopter, that won't
work. But I'll check that idea too.
