The mod loader is ready and is available on the "pre-release" branch of the game. The goal of this version is to get feedback from modders, find bugs and improve the system as I keep adding more features for the final release.
Modding resources
There are 4 things to help with modding:
I'll upload a brief cheat sheet style guide in the Steam Community hub.
This 45 minute video goes through the whole process of making a mod from scratch. It has time stamps and it can be used as a reference if parts of the guide fall short.
There are 3 example mod aircraft in the game install directory. They're in glb format and can easily be opened in Blender and tinkered with.
Feel free to make posts or contact me, any questions are welcome. I'll be available on Discord for voice calls.
I'll make more resources as I keep growing the system.
The state of the game
It's important to note that the game is a bit broken in this version. Aircraft damage is disabled and the suspension doesn't work too well yet. This will be fixed and a bunch of planned features will be added before the full release of version 2.
Planned Features
My current goal is to be ready with these by the end of August:
Mod skins and sounds
Steam Workshop and Cloud integration
Upgrade system overhaul
Mission system
Landmarks
Art style improvements, if there's time left
