Flight of Nova
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing!

Ever had trouble scooping a cargo pod?

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!

Re: Flight of Nova
Short demo available on Steam. There's something about this sim...

Re: Flight of Nova
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.

Re: Flight of Nova
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?

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

Re: Flight of Nova
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.
