Challenge your piloting skills in a seaplane focused flight simulator that takes place in a persistent world where you are responsible for the care and maintenance of your plane. Parts wear out and must be replaced. Otherwise, you risk in-flight failures. At its heart, Lakehopper is a flight simulator, with a physics-based flight model that aims to be realistic and challenging. Fly between isolated communities in a flooded, rugged landscape that only seaplanes can serve. Deliver cargo and help connect towns separated by huge distances of nothing but mountains and open stretches of water. Use your skills as a pilot, and the navigational tools at your disposal, to hop between far-flung destinations. Keep your deliveries safe in unforgiving terrain and treacherous waters. Learn intricately simulated plane systems that are a mix of the familiar and the near-future. A detailed simulation of a workhorse flying boat Assemble your twin engine flying boat seaplane from 100+ parts. Walk around inside your plane! Being in a vehicle doesn't simply lock you into the pilot's seat, even while flying. Roam around the plane, do in-flight repairs, and reconfigure systems. Just watch your step and keep the door closed! Refuel your plane and deliver cargo to isolated communities around the region. Detailed plane subsystems with start-up sequences that require attention to detail. Complex water physics for seaplanes that float, take off, and land like real seaplanes! A vast map to explore Fly across and explore a mountainous, flooded 360,000 square km (140,000 square mi) map. Realistic terrain based on real world landscapes. A challenging, persistent world The game doesn't end just because your flight does. Each flight informs the next! Monitor the condition of individual plane parts and replace them before they cause in-flight failures... or don't! Track jobs, run checklists, look up navigational info, and reference assembly instructions with the in-game reference binder. Fly your way Support for gamepads, joysticks, yokes, throttle quadrants, and most common flight sim peripherals with detailed control rebinding options.
