The only reason this review is negative is the complete lack of updates and communication from the dev, although I do think we'll eventually see a return of updates (the last time we heard from the dev was that they were going through burnout but that was a good while ago.) as of right now it should be considered abandon-ware and anyone wanting to buy should keep that in mind and be fine with the state its in before purchasing.

Beyond that it's a great sim/custom build game with some flaws. I really do recommend it if your fine with the state its in and are searching for something more advanced than games like simpleplanes and ksp. Definitely watch some videos to see if its something for you but here's a couple bits that I can think of off the top of my head.

The good: Its one of those sim games where if you can think it you can build it, there's already enough customization to make anything from the very beginning of powered flight to near future aircraft, and If you spend enough time on a aircraft you could genuinely make something that could not just believably be made but enter service.

Although right now some parts of the physics are a little lacking (wings not interacting with eachother, intake shape not effecting the engine, ect.) it does give you a pretty good representation of how a aircraft would actually fly.

You're not limited to just jets or planes in general, you can make well detailed piston and turbine powered ground vehicles and helicopters.

The Mid: The game has a pretty steep learning curve and is still lacking in a lot of useful QOL features it took me maybe 5 hours just to figure everything out enough to make a very basic jet that preformed alright back when it first became public. (look up a lot of tutorials and do some research on how aircraft work if you want to make anything good starting out)

The bad: the UI isn't the best and there isn't much telling you what certain things do this was a much bigger problem before they added the engine tester you used to have to make a test platform and launch to the runway to tune engines, it should be easier for new players now but there's a lot of similar QOL things that really need to be added if the dev comes back.

The few Ai craft you can spawn are pretty lacking I think the only thing that can really fire back at you are SAM sites and there's no way to spawn a second craft you made with even the a basic drone Ai.

love this game since im like super autistic . you do need to know some things about planes to be able to build stuff not for a novice nerd

devs abandon it
