Important Information
This game is currently in an early alpha stage. It is intended for users who wish to support ongoing development and contribute feedback to improve the simulator. Players should be aware that full functionality is not yet implemented, and the current version primarily supports Xbox controllers and keyboard input. The developers plan to expand controller support and refine flight mechanics in subsequent updates. Purchasing the game is recommended for those interested in observing and participating in the development process, rather than expecting a fully polished flight simulation experience at this time.
Our Verdict
This game is for people who love flight sims and want to support indie developers. It has realistic physics and plane models, but it is still in early alpha. You can use a keyboard or Xbox controller now, with more controller support coming soon.
Do not expect a fully finished flight simulator yet. The world is open and the mechanics are promising, but it’s very much a work in progress. Buy it only if you enjoy testing early versions and giving feedback.
We recommend this game for patient players who like to see games grow. If you want a polished, ready-to-play flight simulator, wait for a later version. For now, it’s worth it for the experience and to support the developers.
