Publisher The Irregular Corporation (PC Building Simulator) and Floating Origin Studios have announced a partnership on the upcoming model flight simulation game for PC, Balsa Model Flight Simulator. Created by Felipe “HarvesteR” Falanghe, who is best known for the resoundingly successful Kerbal Space Program, Balsa Model Flight Simulator is set for release in mid 2020.F
A new trailer released today showcases the latest gameplay of the model flight simulation game and details the game’s powerful editor, a variety of environments, and model aeroplane aerial combat (complete with sweet model aeroplane loop de loops, of course.)
Named for the Balsa wood known for creating model aeroplanes, Balsa Model Flight Simulator is a challenging and detailed model flight simulator with a powerful suite of editing tools where you can design, build, fly and battle with model aircraft. Balsa Model Flight Simulator is a virtual flight experience like no other.
Pilots are able to construct a wide range of model aircraft in great detail, or design innovative new planes to test their engineering abilities. The game sports a deep model aeroplane editor allowing would-be model aeroplane pilots to control every aspect of building kit planes in the game. With deep customisation options, pilots will be able to fly in style as they hone their skills in free-flight and challenge modes.
Balsa Model Flight Simulator also features a detailed career mode where pilots can progress through different stages of their career. Various modes include checkpoint flying, combat (seriously, you can totally affix paintball guns to your model aeroplane and engage in model plane dogfighting), base defense and attack runs or enjoy a full sandbox mode via online or solo play. Just be careful you don’t get your model aeroplane stuck in a tree.
Balsa Model Flight Simulator also features a full scenario editor allowing pilots to build and host their own game sessions and choose what activities players progress in online PVP or PVE modes for up to 16 players. Built from the ground up for modding, the game is set to have 4 large map areas at launch for the taking.
