Flight of Nova is a simulator based on newtonian mechanics in which you control spacecraft in the Noren star system. You fly multiple types of spacecraft doing transport and search missions in an environment with realistic aerodynamics and orbital physics.
This simulator offers an extraordinarily precise approach to spacecraft navigation, focusing on Newtonian physics and orbital mechanics. Players pilot spacecraft in the Noren star system, executing transport and search missions across atmospheric and orbital environments.
The most praised feature is its physics simulation. Players master VTOL spacecraft operations using precise throttle and orientation controls, atmospheric flight dynamics requiring constant vector and energy management, orbital mechanics involving complex intercept calculations with millimeter precision, gravitational calculations that simulate drag based on vessel shape and velocity, and spacecraft control demanding advanced understanding of aerospace principles.
Two primary gameplay modes offer distinct experiences: Map Operations with structured missions across specific planetary regions, and Rogue Mode with dynamic, procedurally generated global missions with randomized objectives.
Players control multiple spacecraft featuring instantaneous transitions between atmospheric and orbital flight modes, distinct ship types with cargo capacities ranging from 2-50 metric tons, and flight models requiring pilot skill to manage thrust, drag, and gravitational forces.
The experience intentionally challenges players to comprehend orbital mechanics through practical execution, calculate trajectory changes within centimeters and milliseconds, manage fuel efficiency during complex maneuvers, and execute precise orbital insertions and atmospheric re-entries without computer assistance.
The simulator provides unparalleled satisfaction from mastering intricate spaceflight techniques, offering a hyper-realistic space trucking simulation with minimal computational assistance, immersive cockpit interfaces with 20+ interactive controls, and comprehensive HOTAS and controller support.
The simulation consistently maintains 144 FPS across hardware configurations, features minimalist graphics optimized for computational accuracy, responsive and nuanced control schemes, near-zero bug instances, and continuous development by a dedicated solo developer.
Space simulation enthusiasts seeking unprecedented realism, players who thrive on skill-based, physics-driven challenges, aerospace professionals and amateur orbital mechanics hobbyists, and fans of ultra-detailed navigation simulations.
