I love that! Keeps making me smile, does this sim!

Another bumpy one, about time they showed a bit more of the mission select, if their is any such thing.
 

Early access mid 22 according to the vid.

The big question Cody is, will you be getting one of these rocking gaming chairs, crash helmet and flight stick to play the game.?
Would be great if they added a rotating space station, like the one seen in 2001 or Elite to dock with.

<chuckles> That'll be the day! I'll fly, and almost certainly fail, using stick and keyboard. That is of course if they allow me to buy the "game" and "play" it without having a Steam account, or having to be online. We shall see!

Had a look on the steam forum for the game but did not see any mention of a GOG release although it may come later after early access.
Did see that their was mention of a demo which can got through their discord if it still current.

Thanks, Pinback - let me know if you do.

Short video about HOTAS setup and good to see he still wearing his crash helmet.
 

I wonder if it will be playable with just a joystick and keyboard, or are pedals going to be necessary?

I would guess that they will have the normal mouse, keyboard and joystick controls, overwise it would severely limit their sales.

I've played the demo in the Steam Next Fest.
Not much in it, only missions are 'take off at a landing pad, and land at a different pad directly in front of you'. One in space and one in an atmospheric planet.
It's a pretty chill flying experience, but hopefully there is actually a reason to be flying from point A to point B in the full game.

Nice going to have too check that out.

Couple of videos, first ones about the demo and the second looks to be a long playthrough of a mission, must download that demo.
quick note for Cody, yes it has keyboard and mouse controls and the game recommends being played with a Joypad.

 

I played the demo!! It's like trying to get a donkey airborne, with your hand tied behind your back and a gremlin poking at your nose!! It's nearly uncontrollable!!

Wow I thought it was too easy with the game pad, then I tried it the mouse and keyboard, smack into the ground.

That's why I don't play "study" sims! Even with a joystick, it's too complicated!!
