Moving from mission to mission should be possible by scrolling. It's been a while since I checked on this demo but it may not have a working tutorial. Wings could break due to the aerodynamic force exceeding the threshold force of the joints, which is totally normal as long as it doesn't happen too often.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes this is a known issue, it's hard to get the AI to get off your tail because of the fixed camera and the AI always knowing your position. The latest build (not released) has an orbit camera that can be toggled on/off that allows you to look around, which to me made it play a lot better. Downside is: you cant use mouse control in this mode as youre already using that to control the camera, so you have to use joystick or keyboard controls.

Ill actually make a new topic with this and most of the planned features too.
A cockpit view is the one thing that this game will unfortunately never have. As you may have guessed, it's just too much work for the amount of planes involved. The good news is this allows me to crank out a new plane every 2-3 days. The A4 will likely be added to the default aircraft list. Experimental/specials will be rather exotic, mostly one-off prototypes or other planes with unique performance characteristics that fit the fighter role. Also , I'm glad you're excited about the project dude, so am I! Many big features/changes are underway.
A sort of free look cam could definitely be interesting for checking out dogfights. Perhapse an option for the instant dogfight gamemode. Pilot ranks (obtained from experience) would mainly grant you access to new liveries or special aircraft that are fun to fly, as that was the idea with experience. Regarding the pippers, there will likely be no lead predictors, at least not for the steam release. The A-4 is included in the list for the future along with a whole bunch of other planes, still gotta decide where to place it in the rankings tho.
Thanks man! And absolutely, a new and final demo release is already in the works and is about a week away from now. It will fix a bunch of small-ish issues with the flight model (namely the incredibly sensitive pitch input and the ability to pull 20-30G turns), and mission system. I'll also give the inverted pitch a shot.
After that, Ill add a lot more content; about 15-20 flyable aircraft, more missions, AI improvement, rebindable controls and many other things. The plan is to eventually get a full version on steam. As for the WT control system, I made the choice early on not to use it, to kinda keep the challenge of flying a plane with realistic inputs. What will happen though is joystick support, which might make things easier.
Thanks for the feedback. Inverting the pitch in my experience makes the aircraft a lot harder to control. 'But I guess thats because Im used to the current controls. I can always add the option for those willing to try tho, should be pretty easy. Or do you mean a War Thunder-like control system where you point and the aircraft follows?
This is some great feedback! Thank you, I agree with you especially on the sliding/stubborn platforms which have had me frustrated a couple of times when testing my level. I think with time I'll be able to flesh out the controls some more. Also, I was unaware the pointer was still visible! I'll give it another look.
