Love it. Can't believe how much effort went into the flight mechanics! Never mind the environmental and difficulty settings. Really well made! 5's across the board for me!

Thanks!
I'm very happy you like it.
We tried very hard to get a somewhat more realistic simulation as opposed to a very arcade-y game.
To achieve this, we estimate the aerodynamic forces on every wing and control surface and just let physics take it from there. Even the player just controls the rotation of the control surfaces, and all the actual movement changes just happen through the physics calculation.
