We interview Dimitar Stoyanov, the indie game developer who created Bush 1022. We discuss his hobbies, journey into game development and finer details about this atmospheric, minimalist bush flying game. #indiegame #flightsim

The newest mission for Thunder Helix is out now! Playing "Supply Drop" with four color CGA is a certified vibe. #flightsim #indiegame #indiedev David Walters

Lakehopper's Trailer is finally done and live! store.steampowered.com/app/4209010/...

The selection of aircraft in Aggressor is sprinkled with some rather unusual choices for flight game similar to it. As we continue getting back into the flow of things with this game, it is nice being able to see some of these uncommon aircraft flying and fighting. #flightsim #indiegame

How you unlock aircraft in combat flight games is an important part of the experience. Blue Sky Aces by Curious Dog Games approaches this by unlocking them on the historical dates they entered service in World War I. #flightsim #indiegame www.skywardfm.com/post/blue-sk...

While we wait for the next big update for Scramble: Battle of Britain, we are keeping our skills up with cinematic intercepts. The screenshot tools in cinematic mode are serving this game well. 1/2

We are continuing to share more around Region 1 in Deadstick! 🛩️ This week we wanted to show some of the offstrips you might come across 🏕️ Westerly Farm, Lowbush Brewing Co, Greyhound Lake Camp & Flowers-In-May.

Throwback to when we finished the initial gear animations for our original aircraft, the SW-210 Colibri! This plane is playable in some of our #VRChat worlds, you should give it a try~

Aggressor by Flashpoint Studios received considerable updates this month after years of public silence. While it is great to have new content, we believe the message the developer sent is important for indie devs to hear. #flightsim #indiegame #indiedev

The jobs players take on as AeroAssist pilots in Rotor Sim are sometimes connected. From rescuing stranded workers on a wind turbine to delivering supplies to repair the turbine days later. #flightsim #indiegame 1/2

The anti-tank guided missile trick shots in Thunder Helix will continue until morale improves. #flightsim #lowpoly #indiegame

New Clouds :)

Today I played Digital Integration's Hind. What an awesome game, and I decided to take notes from it to improve my game's targeting sight operation. #gamedev #flightsim

Exosky by Elevons is better than ever after recent updates. With refinement to flight model, new peripheral support and more, we jump back in to see what has improved. #flightsim #indiegame Exosky Game

The new mission is alive and closed testing is going well. We will have more to about it in the coming days. It may even be available Soon™. #NuclearOption #NuclearOptionGame #flightsim

Flying super deformed aircraft that are more like combat capable ride on toys? In a #ACECOMBAT themed scenario? Operation Honey Hunt by Shumarushu_VRC is one such #VRCAviation world. You never know what you will get into when flying in #VRChat. 1/2

You ever seen 1,000 terrain tiles loaded at the same time? Would you like to? Reran terrain texture assignment to fix seams in tiles and update the procedural gen calculation. 270 million vertexes later, the world of Lakehopper has a new coat of paint.

From the same developer as VTOL VR, Jetborne Racing hasn't received an update in 4 and a half years. What happened?

Do you like helicopters? Well, then you need to try Rotorheads in #DCSWorld. This server is the home of anything rotary wing in the game, or even fixed wing if you like that. 1/2

Finger movements in VR ! #flightsim #gamedev

more work on the airship (nerfed for testing purposes)

New king of the mid-level joysticks? Full review of VIRPIL’s new CDT-AEROMAX-R Flightstick There's a relatively new joystick on the block right now from well known hardware maker VIRPIL. Their CDT-AEROMAX-R Flightstick is a mid-market compliment to other parts of their portfolio. This setup offers…

The EF-24G Mischief is the electromagnetic maestro of VTOL VR. We give our thoughts on this electronic warfare aircraft after a few months of flying it. #VTOLVR #indiegame #VR

This weekend "Mission Editor brain" afflicted one of our staff members. We now have an 80% complete mission that focuses on austere air operations in Nuclear Option. The first closed testing playthroughs are happening this week. #NuclearOption #flightsim #indiegame

It is not every day we lead an anti-ship attack against a World War 2 era resupply convoy, but it is possible in the mission editor of Sky On Fire: 1940. Landing hits on these heavily laden transports and their escorts results in some truly massive explosions. #flightsim #indiegame 1/2

Join a new wonderfully fantastical experience in #VRChat Aviation! Fantasy Vehicle World by symphony brings aircraft to the realm of magic and fiction!

Though the UH-90 Ibis is a utility helicopter, it can participate in saturation attacks with its internally mounted revolving anti-tank guided missile launcher. Here an Ibis fires missiles over terrain at datalinked targets. #flightsim #indiegame #nuclearoption 1/2

(Placeholder music from Ace Combat 2) This is probably one of the coolest clips I've gotten when testing and this isn't even polished yet but I really feel like sharing!

Lakehopper by @epicphoton.bsky.social is an upcoming seaplane focused indie flight game that got us thinking about the difference between flying an aircraft and operating an aircraft in flight simulation. #indiegame #flightsim

In the map DCS: Cold War Germany by Ugra Media there are three locations featuring Project 12321 / Aist-class LCACs. Each location has varying amounts of them with scenery showing an amphibious assault. These are easy places to build missions fast in the mission editor. #DCSWorld #flightsim 1/2

We ended our time with the latest SimplePlanes 2 playtest by tuning our Yawman Arrow controller profile while "backseat flying". Being passenger and pilot at the same time was quite interesting. #flightsim #indiedev

We start 2026 with an article about an indie dev World War 2 flight sim lite that has flown "beneath our radar". Sky On Fire: 1940 is a still in development title available on PC and mobile devices. #flightsim #indiegame |

oh also cool poster of my game's harrier. I made more posters about related vehicles but I'm going to be slowly posting them, just so I have something to post.

When wandering around the home to complete the latest mission, you never know what challenge will come next. We were not expecting an intense encounter with an enemy ace in House Fighters: Total Mess. #flightsim #indiegame 1/2

The growing presence of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere is undeniable. With Project Aces going from sidestepping it in the year 2000 to steadily increasing its presence up to now, it is time to talk about this resurgence. #ACECOMBAT #flightsim

Happy Halloween!!!!!!

Virtual Fighter Maneuvers released on December 19th, 2025 for Meta standalone or Steam. Be sure to get in on the quick dogfight action! Here is some more video of @Cubeboyy and @KatDotSoftware going 1 vs 1. #VR #flightsim 1/2

It is great to see the Mil Mi-8 Hip (known as Condor) flying in a civilian capacity. Far from battlefields, this medium lift helicopter is great for large scale rescue missions in Rotor Sim by Immaculate Lift Studio. #flightsim #indiegame 1/2

Our thoughts on Update 0.32 for Nuclear Option by Shockfront Studios. We discuss the A-19 Brawler, truck mounted ballistic missiles and more. #flightsim #indiegame

The biggest aircraft ever released for Digital Combat Simulator, the C-130J, is a wonderfully complex module. Let's talk about it. #DCSWorld #flightsim

When egressing in Thunder Helix, it is always good to continue sorting through targets to keep up situational awareness. You never know what is tracking you out there. In this case, a Mi-24 Hind attempting to catch us over the open sea. #flightsim #indiegame @hiddenasbestos.bsky.social 1/2

Not even Jovian warship energy shields are safe from the unyielding power of pure burst mass. The swing-wing Valkyrie has had a significant impact on Nova Squadron by @claradoth.bsky.social. #indiegame #flightsim #NovaSquadron 1/2

The floating markets in The Brew Barons are great places to visit when far away from headquarters. We dock at one of these former wartime logistics and troop transport airships to spend the night resting, refueling and conducting business. #flightsim #indiegame

We have been flying the new DCS C-130J module. It is quite the beast, these are some pics from our upcoming article/review! #DCSWorld #flightsim

Ticket sales for FlightSimExpo 2026 start December 14th, 2025. The Flight Simulation Association has new ticket options, reduced ticket prices and hotel prices are 25% lower compared to last year's event. #FSExpo #flightsim www.skywardfm.com/po...

We were lucky enough to try the beta of Virtual Fighter Maneuvers, watch mayhem ensue. #VR #flightsim

Rotor Sim by Immaculate Lift Studio is a simcade that lets players fly helicopters in ways we imagine them without the stress of combat. Search and rescue, cargo transport, evacuation, etc. With a sequel in development, we dive in for the first time. #flightsim #indiegame 1/2
