I'm really impressed by this project and I hope it garners well-deserved success. the F/A-18 is a beautiful bird and a simple-to-use, but simulation-oriented title like this is great to see.

If content suggestions are allowed, something that might make an interesting add-on someday if this project expands to those regions may be a mission editor. If a few air and ground units are developed eventually, then with even with basic, editable briefings and a simple asset placement system, the game's content pool is infinite. Edit your briefing, place your allies and enemies, and off you go!

Thanks for the wonderful notes and comments. There are things coming... my family life and a dozen other projects are making it difficult to get to add the features. Here's a short planned list:
- Building mission maps in Blender (complete with data and ai config). I have this already at about 90% complete
- Coop multi-play. I built my own server system for this (and a couple of other games). Again this is pretty much complete, small changes here and there needed.
- Updated UI and mission systems (to accommodate for custom missions).
The app may end up on Steam too since Steam Workshop might be a better place for modding the game.
Hope that helps. Current estimates, maybe most of the above by Xmas 2024. Earlier will be better.. but so many other things can get in the way.
