Welcome to the July 2026 update for Blue Sky Aces, the long overdue update for our retro WW1 flight simulator. In this update we discuss the game's updated art style, and all the awesome improvements to the mission maps. Around this time last year we came to the conclusion that game's art style was preventing us from delivering our vision of the game, and we felt that there were too many inconsistencies in the game's assets. To resolve this we undertook a massive piece of work to reimagine many elements of the game with the intention of migrating all the assets to have a late 1990's look. This work included everything, from the terrain, trees, buildings, aircraft, and other vehicles. There's still a few elements that need to be upgraded, but the current demo should provide a much better idea of where things are going.
