Oct 16, 2020
The development team here at Just Flight have been busy working on a new lighting plugin that takes advantage of all the latest P3D technology to produce realistic and immersive cockpit lighting.
Our upcoming 146 will be the first aircraft to feature this system and weve put together this short video to demonstrate the functionality and visual quality it offers. In addition to realistic cockpit lighting, we have also added a useful flashlight feature for walkarounds and cold a dark starts in low light conditions.

14 January 2021
Hello everyone,
Two major hurdles have been passed in the way to the mobile version.
The performance of the next phase process is now much better.
PC & Mac will also run the game faster.
Last time, it was not possible to select any map pieces.
Basically, to identify which hex you are selecting, a light ray is sent to the map and the program detect which hex is touched by the beam. This works well on desktop but not on mobile. The development language Unity seems not that perfect unfortunately, however a workaround has been finally found.
Next step will focus on some user interface artefacts: be sure nothing gets overlapped by another elements, not too small for the eyes or the finger, add a bit of zooming when necessary, etc..
Thanks for your patience !

We are ecstatic to announce the official partnership between Crush Depth and U-995 (Marinekameradschaft Freundeskreis U 995 / Deutscher Marinebund). This natural partnership will reinforce our ability to work tirelessly to preserve history in both digital and physical form.
Together with the Deutscher Marinebund e.V., the Freundeskreis U-995 takes care of the preservation of the last Type VIIc (U-995) submarine from the Second World War and helps with maintenance and restoration. If you ever have the opporunity to visit (which I would highly recommend), you can find more information on their wonderful work here:

Get holiday greetings and screenshots from Spectre of Communism
Hello, guys! As you may know today is World Snow Day ❄.
Parents all over the world take kids outside and spend some time together: playing winter games or doing winter sports. If there is snow in your country, of course.
In Kyiv, where the Starni Games office is located, it is a true winter right now: a -17 celsius frost (1.4 degrees Fahrenheit), everything is white and snowy and the parents together with their children ride sleigh in all of the city parks 🛷.
We wish you too would be able to spend a weekend with your family and friends, doing your favorite kind of winter activities.
If there is no snow in your country, or you dislike winter sports - you can always play Strategic Mind: Spectre of Communism, as it has lots of snow and winter "activities". The game does a pretty good job at translating the harsh winter conditions and makes one wonder about how lucky we are to live in a time when the most popular winter activities are throwing snowballs, riding a sleigh, skiing, and snowboarding.
Happy World Snow Day!

Quote from: Apocalypse 31If your Mil customers proposed a contract to have a new game engine - we would see a new game engineBut the first would never happen, and the second is very unlikely to happen for the same reason; military customers are also public customers, and therefore bound to adhere to procurement and (in the EU) common market laws. The replacement of a render engine could be seen as a subsidy, likewise the development of an entirely new functional branch. These are things that we must do on our own, which is only fair, but they can be done only in the remaining fraction of development time.
