A few weeks ago I reached a point on the sidescrolling flight simulator where I can now realistically call it “a game”, even if it’s not as polished as I would have liked it to be. For more information as well as a link to play it, go to

I decided that I had sort of proved my point: I was able to do better. The other things I would like to add to the game are just technicalities that take time and effort1¹ Better terrain generation, touch input support, modeling the two airfoils and their torsion on the plane body separately, etc, etc., they don’t involve many significant unknowns regarding flight simulation. I like the game and it would be nice to improve it, but I also have to consider that I have neglected to do other, more productive, things with my spare time.

So this is the state it will likely be in for a while!
