I enjoyed the premise of the game. It felt like My Summer Car, but for seaplanes. I also really enjoyed having to use VOR navigation, as this is what I primarily used when I got my PPL. However, the game just feels very devoid of features currently. There's no real storyline or anything of the sort, so you're basically left on your own to pick up parcels and deliver them to random locations. I was able to navigate to the southernmost seaport (forgot the name), but from there, I was unable to actually locate the dock. There aren't really any features on the sectional besides the basic shape of the terrain to help you discern location on a smaller scale than what the VORs provide. Adding discernable features such as beacons, lighthouses, buildings, etc. would significantly improve the findability of these seaports once you're in the nearby environment. As for performance, I have no complaints. It runs very smoothly. However, it does suffer from floating point errors at great distances from the origin. By this, I mean that when you fly to another seaport, the textures and meshes begin to suffer from visual irregularities. More information on this particular issue can be found by googling floating point errors, but the most common way games with large maps correct for this is by periodically moving the player back to the origin and moving the rest of the map around them to compensate for this. This really wouldn't cause me to review a game negatively, but I felt like it was worth mentioning in case the developer reads this. The flight model is also decent. I wasn't expecting something that was study-level by any means, but it was a little annoying how it seemed to suffer with poor dynamic stability. I could be trimmed perfectly for straight-and-level flight, then the plane would pitch down rather harshly, seemingly at complete random. Correcting for this merely just got the plane into various oscillations. Adding autopilot to the game was a good move for convenience, but the implementation leaves much to be desired. Currently, there's only a toggle on/off button, and it only attempts to maintain straight-and-level flight when engaged. You cannot tell it to climb, descend, hold a heading, follow a course/radial, etc.. Adding this would be a significant improvement. Overall, the game has a lot of potential, but I think it currently needs too many improvements to be recommendable. Maybe it will be worth revisiting in the future.

This game has tremendous potential. The physics in it are solid. I love choice to essentially "build" your plane at the start. The addition of more locations, airplane parts (upgrades possibly) would be huge. One gripe that I do have with it is that the only way to steer on the water at low speeds is differential thrust, there is no water rudder. The addition of a water rudder would be amazing. Overall, great game with huge amounts of potential. Definitely keep a close eye on this one.

The game is off to a great start. But the world feels dead, Weather isn't implemented so its just sorta boring. You can't crash, you sorta just bounce. I can't control pressure or mess with breakers. This is very bare bones project. Because little has happened since March to majorly step up the game. I worry this game is moving to be abandoned. which is becoming quite a trend on Steam.

A content free experience, at least at the moment. I refunded it. Also, there is no way the map is anywhere near the claimed 140,000 square miles. Even if it is, it is filled with absolutely nothing. Definitely don't get this during early access, maybe get it after the full release, but from what I've seen so far I don't have high hopes.

Game is okay. but it is severely lacking in substance in its current state. Need more to do. perhaps some other towns to stop in.

This game is NOT READY! I love what the game is trying to do, it seems like a great time and I'd love to play it. BUT Midway through my play, about 30 min. in, the game suddenly bugged out and my whole computer froze. After I restarted the computer I saw that for some reason my computer no longer recognized my GPU. I had to do a ton of troubleshooting to figure it out, and I figured it had to be this game running because nothing else or unusual was running at that time and it worked flawlessly all day. So in short, I tried it, I loved it, but I can't recommend it because it seems to mess with my PC and I don't need a game THAT much in early development.

absolutely horrendous. Every time I attempt to fly my plane it for some reason starts spinning like a Beyblade despite how both engines are at the same rpm.

Concept idea of a game, 20 minutes to do all you can do right now. dont see the point of any company releasing this right now, foresee this will be a half arsed cash grab game.

game is incredible! however... i couldnt save at nest lake to be done for the night. edit. turns out i had a weird bug but now i can save and deliver packages! very good game
