What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Aerovery lab is a solo developer. EarIy Access is a way to get feedback, to add various content to the game, and try to make the simulation better and better.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will remain in Early Access until at least 2025.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“More maps and missions, more spacecraft to fly, cockpit/nav tools, places to discover, and threats will be added along with a career mode.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the game has 3 spacecrafts to pilot, 12 orbital stations, 198 planet surface outposts, 13 training missions and 3 maps containing a total of 89 missions to complete.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will remain the same after Flight Of Nova leaves Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“One of the reasons why the game is launched on Steam in Early Access is user feedback. I am looking forward to hearing from you.”

About This Game

Flight of Nova is a simulator based on newtonian mechanics in which you control spacecraft in the Noren star system. You will fly multiple types of spacecraft doing transport and search missions in an environment with realistic aerodynamics and orbital physics.

Flight Of Nova features two gameplay modes:
1. Map Operations: contain series of missions taken from specific region or orbital station.
2. Rogue Mode: global missions based on messages we receive on the cockpit monitor FMS.

Key Features:

* Track IR support
* HOTAS support
* Realistic gravitation and orbital physics
* Atmospheric density inspired by earth data
* Aerodynamic drag corresponding to vessel shape
* Drag / air friction energy calculations
* Real-time accurate orbital data
* Orbital stations and docking system
* Planet surface outposts
* Real-time control over spacecraft
* Full-scale body diameter 12’700 km
* Search and transport missions
* Quick flight challenges

July 28th 2023 - Update:

-New game mode: ROGUE (with procedurally generated missions and progression)
-A new cockpit monitor called the FMS (flight management system)
-The new surface region 'Sigen Delta'
