It's kind of amazing too how ahead of its time it was in many ways, especially the physics. I've gone back and replayed a lot of the flight sims of the era and none of them hold a candle to the feeling of flight that A-10 had.

All my Tiny Combat work lately has been playing with graphs and tweaking flight model data. Latest update: supersonic and transonic speeds are handled much better now. All this work doesn't really look like anything though, so here's me staring at my speedometer. #gamedev

It's not as performant as the old code. It runs 60-90% slower. Though, it shouldn't be an issue unless you're running thousands of them. In my experience, with that many turrets, you'll have bigger bottlenecks than the aiming/rotation code. Here's ~1200 turrets at 120fps.

Finalizing the MiG-21's flight model. It's a supersonic fighter through and through. Keep your speed around Mach 1, and it'll slice through the sky and enemies. It'll bleed speed very quickly in tight turns though, so keep your inputs smooth. #gamedev

After some research, the Jaguar shouldn't be doing this because it can't generate enough alpha, but I'm leaving it in until planes that can do it are added/updated. #gamedev

@dave_colson Worth noting is that even though it covers slightly more slightly more area than the wings, it has a very different and much less efficient lift curve. It's there to straighten the plane out from side-slip in a way that feels reasonable.

@frankiekam You are basically listing off my primary inspirations! I had to learn how to write shaders for the lighting because no modern engine does lighting like that anymore. Everything you see while flying uses custom shaders.

Everybody's favorite self-propelled AAA, Shilka!
The Shilka is the game's first armored ground unit. #gamedev

This low intensity area spawns mostly Rookie level MiGs and Jaguars in 1 ship formations, but sometimes it spawns Veteran level pilots with both a higher skill level and more advanced weapons.

The art is so good! I love the way that they simplify the cockpits to get all the necessary instruments on screen, but still capture the character of each one.
