Почему ранний доступ?

«We're building the airline sim we always wanted to play. Early Access means you get in now while the core is solid: routes work, planes fly, money flows. But there's more we're working on: deeper crew management, more aircraft, the full EOS endgame system, and whatever else the community tells us matters.
We'd rather build this with players than in a vacuum. You'll see updates. You'll see us break things and fix them. You'll have a direct line to shape what this becomes.»

Сколько примерно эта игра будет в раннем доступе?

«6-12 months is the target. The core game loop is already there. You can build an airline, run routes, manage your fleet, and chase profitability right now. What's left is depth: more systems, more content, more polish. I'm not here to sit in Early Access for three years. I want to ship this thing.

Чем планируемая полная версия будет отличаться от версии в раннем доступе?

«Current development focus includes:

Simulation Mode with full preflight operations
Technology systems (CrewWise, WebLogic, YieldMaster, MaintenancePro)
Aircraft maintenance and A-Check system
Deeper crew mechanics including fatigue and legality
Multiplayer and competitive elements
More aircraft variants and livery customization
Improved tutorials and onboarding

Development priorities may shift based on player feedback and what makes the game better. Nothing is guaranteed except that I'm working on it.»

Каково текущее состояние версии в раннем доступе?

«Playable. You can start an airline, buy aircraft, build a route network, run flights, and watch money come in (or bleed out if you screw up). The world map tracks your planes in real-time. Financials scale properly from regional puddle jumps to transatlantic widebody runs.
What works now:

373+ aircraft types from regional props to the A380
4,878 airports worldwide
Dynamic flight economics based on distance, aircraft, and demand
Tier progression system
Weather that affects operations
EOS qualification tracking
98 collectible aircraft with roll system

What's rough:

Some UI needs polish
Tutorials are minimal — you'll figure it out or you won't
Balance is still being tuned»

Изменится ли цена игры после выхода из раннего доступа?

«Yes. Early Access price will be lower. You're taking a risk on an unfinished product and helping shape it. That should cost less.
Full release price goes up. If you wait for polish, you pay for polish.»

Как вы планируете вовлекать сообщество в разработку игры?

«Discord. Bug reports, feature requests, balance complaints, wild ideas — all of it goes there and we actually read it.
We're not building a game by committee. We have a vision for what this is. But if a bunch of pilots and aviation nerds tell me something feels wrong, we're listening. If someone catches a bug, it's probably fixed that day.
No roadmap theater. No fake community votes. Just direct access to the guy making it.»
