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

Two lifelong Ace Combat fans give their thoughts on the announcement of Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve with 30 years of context. This is one of the most extensive articles we have ever written about this series. #ACECOMBAT #ACECOMBAT8 #WingsOfTheve #flightsim

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

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

GroundFall has a new aircraft selection system. Now four aircraft can be selected by picking up the keys from the board at any time. Each aircraft has their pros and cons to fly. Aircraft include the An-2, Kitfox 7, Maule M7 and Super Cub. #flightsim #indiegame 1/2

Let's take a look at one of the most unique DCS multiplayer experiences out there: Rotorheads. A community focused on helicopters, tactical action and teamwork. #DCSWorld #flightsim

Matches in #WarThunder can be so chaotic, which leads to very cinematic moments like this one~!

We still splash bandits and blast armored convoys in Tiny Combat Arena from time to time. Development is still ongoing. The official MicroProse Discord is one of the best places to find updates related to the game. #flightsim #indiegame

Our staff attended the first large-scale beyond visual range combat tournament in #VRChat. Hosted by 425th VTFTW, teams fought across 160 nautical miles. This event demonstrates how far #VRCAviation has come in many ways. We are writing an article about it soon.

Getting to War Thunder's top-tier has a price, let's talk about the new Venezuelan Su-30MK2 premium. #WarThunder #flightsim

Scramble: Battle of Britain has updated its multiplayer to include co-op and 3 vs 3 PvP. This is an interesting addition for a turn based dogfighting game. We will be checking it out to see how it plays. See post below for details:

Got something new in the hangar #gamedev #flightsim

For the next two days we will be joining the bold helo pilots of the Rotor Heads multiplayer server in Digital Combat Simulator. Most of us will be flying helos on the frontlines, but a few will be providing close air support with laser guided ordinance from fixed-wing aircraft. #DCSWorld #flightsim

As Honeycomb Aeronautical released their trailer, we were finishing an article about handheld flight controllers from MeridianGMT and Yawman Flight as well. We give our thoughts on this generation of handheld flight controllers. #flightsim

The newest update for FlightSimExpo 2026 is here! New exhibit hall access on #FSExpoFriday, more single-day ticket options, partner registration now open and other topics are discussed. #FSExpo #FSExpoFriday

In Freelancers: Rogue Skies the open-world style gameplay is one of the most interesting aspects. As it is now, there are a few far off celestial bodies and space stations that can be visited. We are interested in seeing where this game goes story wise. #indiegame #flightsim

Different payload layouts featuring the wrong missiles on most of them :)

Gomasaba Archipelago by Yakisaba918 is one of the best civilian #flightsim experiences in #VRChat. Here are our thoughts on this #VRCAviation world:

FPV drone warfare games are still a relatively new experience to us. We are getting the hang of it in a few different games though. Here we one-shot the objective in a somewhat harder mission in Kamikaze Strike: FPV Drone.

An update on the Indie Highlight Series. Where are we now? How does this work? An open invite to indie developers creating flight action games! #indiegames #indiedev #flightsim Read more: www.skywardfm.com/po...

In Remembrance It’s something of a tradition on Stormbirds to mark Remembrance Day. This is a memorial day observed most typically in Commonwealth countries around the world to honour armed forces members who served and were lost in the line of duty. Veterans Day in the United States is also…

The range of the SA-5 Gammon seems oppressive, but its low altitude performance and semi-active radar homing guidance is a weakness. It is an interesting obstacle against high altitude operations while not being as challenging as its successor, the SA-10 Grumble. #DCSWorld #flightsim

ひとりでブルーインパルスを再現！ 『Dancing Wings - The Aerobatic Simulator』 store.steampowered.com/app/3728180/... T-4のエンジン音を入れました (入間基地での録音を加工)。 予定 ・INDIE Live Expo 2025.11.29 で紹介 ・東京ゲームダンジョン11 (来年2/8) に出展 #スーパーゲ制デー 動画 1/2

"Hueman", our resident aircraft builder addict, shares his thoughts on his time with the recent SimplePlanes 2 demo. #SimplePlanes2 #flightsim Read more:

Venom Cinematic is one of our favorite Digital Combat Simulator content creators. The quality and variety of their videos have made them a go-to source for great flying content. #DCSWorld #flightsim

A recent revisit to Thunder Helix by @hiddenasbestos.bsky.social reminded us of its surreal search and rescue mission. This video shows what players are in for. #flightsim #indiegames

The Chad stick figure. Next time we will try to draw the "Cool S" in Skywriter Academy. #indiegame #flightsim

Round-up: Aircraft updates, sales, podcast episodes and reveals for MSFS, X-Plane and DCS World! Yes, that's right, its time for another news round-up. There's been a ton of updates coming out from developers recently so here are some of the highlights you might want to know such as the status of…

Does the story of Ace Combat 04 still resonate today? T.J. "Millie" Nightwolf takes a critical eye to an Ace Combat series classic. #ACECOMBAT #flightsim

We will be hosting a little hangout tomorrow night in #VRChat alongside the @vvfa41.bsky.social! Come say hi and chill with us! #VR

We take a moment to celebrate our latest milestone. As of October 18th, 2025, Skyward Flight Media has posted over 500 releases onto our website. We look back at some of the pivotal events in our history so far.

Air Combat 22 attract screen #2 features the enemies players will battle in the skies. It even has the classic 'Jump Jet Ambush'. #ACECOMBAT #flightsim #retrogame

I genuinely do not know where the public perspective of #NovaSquadron as the gayest flightcade game of all time came from. 0.4.1 has, like, three characters, and they only talk about mission objectives. At this point I'm just going along with it #gamedev #indiedev

In our upcoming mission for Nuclear Option, winning by only providing logistics to the fleet is a signature feature. Designing air defenses to be challenging but able to be exhausted over time is a fine balancing act. This is the final hurdle before release. #NuclearOption #flightsim #indiegame

Indie Highlight Series 005 is out now! Interviews with the developers creating Delivery Must Complete and Zakon discuss their thoughts on development and what they want their games to be upon full release. #indiegame #indiedev #flightsim

Hijong Park's Defender Patrol has been released! This game started as a "I'm going to make an MD500 game because nobody else will," and has evolved into a little battlefield with interactive cockpits and simlite realism. If you have a joystick, the helicopter is really fun to throw around.

Nothing like flying some of the classics! The A-4E mod and the UH-1H are still some amazing aircraft to fly in #DCSWorld.

Starting a mission #gamedev #flightsim

The first article in a new series about flight in VRChat. We focus on the rarest form of aviation on the platform: gliders and airships. Multiple worlds and creators are discussed. #VRChat #VRCAviation #flightsim
