Though the UH-90 Ibis is a utility helicopter, it can participate in saturation attacks with its internally mounted revolving anti-tank guided missile launcher. Here an Ibis fires missiles over terrain at datalinked targets. #flightsim #indiegame #nuclearoption

This is probably one of the coolest clips I've gotten when testing and this isn't even polished yet but I really feel like sharing!

In the map DCS: Cold War Germany by Ugra Media there are three locations featuring Project 12321 / Aist-class LCACs. Each location has varying amounts of them with scenery showing an amphibious assault. These are easy places to build missions fast in the mission editor. #DCSWorld #flightsim

We ended our time with the latest SimplePlanes 2 playtest by tuning our Yawman Arrow controller profile while "backseat flying". Being passenger and pilot at the same time was quite interesting. #flightsim #indiedev

oh also cool poster of my game's harrier.
I made more posters about related vehicles but I'm going to be slowly posting them, just so I have something to post.

When wandering around the home to complete the latest mission, you never know what challenge will come next. We were not expecting an intense encounter with an enemy ace in House Fighters: Total Mess. #flightsim #indiegame

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
Ace Combat 3: Resurgence Towards Revival?
Discuss the ever building presence of Ace Combat 3 appearing in more modern Ace Combat games. Could this resurgence lead to a reasonable remake?

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

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

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
