Hi STOL Pilots! This update includes some fun new features along with several improvements and bug fixes. AIRPLANE UPDATE - Throttle Input - the longer you hold the controller button, the faster RPMs change. UPDATE - External camera HUD - airspeed and altitude text now change col
What Changed: The orbit camera (aka Taxi Cam) is now controllable. This allows you to see the airplane from multiple view points while flying or taxiing. How It Works From inside the airplane, switch to the first external camera, then click the right game controller joystick to t
This patch improves airplane throttle control when using a game controller - making it smoother and eliminating a dead zone at the bottom of the power curve.
Hi STOL Pilots, This update includes some features that many of you have been asking for, so please check it out and let me know what you think! UPDATES New Map: Sparse collection of small islands, atolls, and sand bars. Watch out for driftwood and debris on the beaches and use w
This hot fix release includes: Fixed the 'Season 1' terrain problems that occurred during the last release Changed the way the airplane's automatic pitch trim works. Now the trim will adjust as the player adds stick inputs (nose up/down). I think this is very intuitive and works
Hi STOL Pilots! A new update is live! New - Added a "Pure STOL" challenge map that has narrow set of objectives tied to specific Steam achievements. I think this style of map might be more interesting to play and also easier for me to develop. New - An upgraded water system is av
NEW MAP & NEW APPROACH TO LEVEL DESIGN This map includes new points of interest (POIs), a river, a frozen lake (quite slippery), uneven airstrip surfaces, and more. Behind the scenes, I have changed the way I'm building maps and will have more flexibility to make detailed and
Updates: Dynamic Airplane Weight Pilot, cargo, and fuel all add-up to increase the airplane weight. This will impact airplane performance and handling. As fuel is used the airplane will get lighter. This will be a factor when planning cargo missions - especially at higher elevati
Summer is over and it's time to get back to work on Groundfall! ːsteamhappyː My primary focus in upcoming patches will be around: Missions - add more engaging missions that are fun and reward the player with loot, airplane mods, etc. Including more complex missions, different mis
Hi everyone! Sorry for the long delay between updates! Several things took longer than expected and I was not able to work on it as much as I wanted to. However, now that I have improved the level management system, I should be able to create and release new maps more quickly! Ne

Hi all! This patch has some fun new features and improvements: New: Airstrip Missions Manager - read signs to get current and next airstrip objective information and fly-over previews. POI objectives in development. New: Big Rocks - big rock biome for some airstrips. More biomes
Made some changes to the core flight physics to further minimize excessive nose-up pitching. These changes are more fundamental and hopefully more effective than what I tried in the past. The airplane now stays in a more neutral attitude at all speeds. Enjoy and let me know what
This is the first update of 2023 and now that the holiday chaos is behind me, I will return to a more frequent schedule for releasing patches. This is a small patch, but it contains a big new feature in volumetric clouds that you can fly through. This adds a new level of visual i
This patch contains some significant changes to airplane handling - both on the ground and in the air. Fixed: - Airplane Brakes: made some changes to the airplane's center of gravity (CG) and adjusted the brake torque. The airplane is significantly less prone to nose-over when br
