Flight of Nova

Post by Cody »

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Wow!

Yes, I've had problems - back in the days before I discovered phkb's Cargo Stopper...

...but I never felt that the cargo pod was about to turn me into minced meat!

Short demo available on Steam. There's something about this sim...

From what I've gleaned, it looks like a HOTAS (or controller) would be needed - keyboard and stick ain't going to cut it.
Whether the dev will add some gameplay elements to the sim remains to be seen.

There's a lot to like.
From that one vid it looks like some pedal setup is integral to the full thrust control, isn't that more elaborate than simply HOTAS?

Quite probably! I'll have to buy the sim at some point, but I ain't buying pedals.

Hear hear. Foot dexterity is an unreasonable skill demand.

I am very much looking forward to enjoying my HOTAS 100% (instead of the 60% my Mac allows for) and this looks to be a very cool way to use it.
