Like Sailwind in a plane!

Just my thoughts on this title so far.

What I liked:

1. I love the simplified cockpit! Navigating with the map and VOR is a blast! I visited all three locations and made deliveries. It was pretty cool following that VOR heading and finding your destination at the end.
   
2. I really enjoyed the cargo delivery as well. This is something I think most flight sims are missing.
   
3. It was also kinda fun using the manual to build the plane. You really get to know how your systems are put together when doing this. Very cool.

What I missed

1. I think it needs a second VOR. Perhaps that could be something that comes as an upgrade to the instrument panel component? Also, I found an issue when using the "from" heading functionality; it switches to "to" as soon as you align directly to the "from" heading.
   
2. In addition to the second VOR, it would be nice to see a beacon or lighthouse that could help identify destinations you are flying to.
   
3. I also noticed an obvious difference when the plane is fully loaded. I'm assuming there is weight and balance in the game, but unless I missed it, I couldn't find the weight and balance data I needed to be able to determine how much cargo to load and where to load it. to put my CG where it needed to be.
   
4. Not sure if this is already something you plan to implement later on, but being able to assemble parts just makes me want to see upgrades and perhaps abandon aircraft that you could loot for advanced parts. Note: this one is more of a nice-to-have. Just a thought.
   
5. Lastly, I'm assuming you plan on implementing a currency system of sorts? I think it would be pretty neat to have an economy system that would let you purchase goods from one place for cheap and sell them in another for a profit.

Final thoughts

I really am enjoying what the game is so far, and I think you're moving in the right direction! I've already got this one on my wishlist and will be watching for updates!

Keep up the good work!

Duces!

The Sailwind economy would work great in this game.
The merchants never move....neither does anyone else, actually, and it works great. it doesn't feel strange at all that merchants just stand with their wares. No need to add people walking around or anything.
