Air Pico by @tommulgrew.itch.io is one of the latest flight games on the PICO-8 Fantasy Console. With 15 missions across a 16km x 16km map, it is an impressive feat for its small file size. #PICO8 #indiegame #flightsim

The massive air battle mission in Blue Sky Aces by Curious Dog Games requires a fine balance. Avoiding mid-air collisions is just as important as evading incoming fire. Keep your head on a swivel! #flightsim #indiegames

September all work stalled due to other priorities, but I am back in the saddle. What does every WWII game need? Halftracks of course! Added the SDKfz 215 in two versions, and a new MG42 turret to add some spicy targets and adversaries. #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #flightsim

Okay not going to touch this anymore. Will probably upload it to Github this weekend or something. It's pretty fun to fly, and really satisfying when you precisely slow down or stop at a specific point for the next turn.
