Vector Thrust

Vector Thrust is a fast-paced cel shading action-arcade flight simulator.
Offering an extensive variety of game modes to chose from, with quick, action-oriented instant play, or the opportunity to experience an immersive story-based campaign, Vector Thrust offers something for everybody, appealing to both players wanting to get straight into the sky and those who want to experience something deeper.

While the game is still in an Alpha Build, the player has full power over the game in order to tweak, edit or mod every aspect of the game. Adding custom skins, changing a parameter of a unit or creating full-blown battle scenarios is easy and open to anyone. With over 16 different fanmade mods and addons already avaliable for download, ranging from paint schemes to HUD revamps and even completely new aircraft, Vector Thrust offers near-unlimited expandability and adaptability.

Above all, Vector Thrust delivers a tactical, intelligent AI, where every unit works to complete its mission in a dynamic ever-changing battlefield that is never played the same way twice.

More info, features and content will be added weekly, including new maps, aircraft and others.

The next update will be finished soon; it will add the finished and fully working mission editor. But this update will include more aircrafts as well, to celebrate the game reaching one hundred playable aircrafts most of the following aircrafts will be unusual and obscure planes.

So in the next updates, just for fun, it will be added previews to see if anyone is able to identify these aircrafts.

Can someone guess their names?

Flying this aircraft will cost the enemy sweat and tears, and perhaps... a little blood.

TS, you might want to consider recording new gameplay videos, these ones are sort of getting very very very outdated.

Loving this game and loving each update. I don't know if this plane is already planned, let alone if this is the right place to suggest additions but timeSymmetry, can you please add the F-22 Raptor into Vector Thrust? I got my Mig-29 but I miss the Raptor. :(

The Raptor, along with PAK-FA and some others, is already announced. However, far as I know, it is not scheduled to appear in the next update.
And it is the right place to add suggestions, you an also use forum. TS reads all this, and I've yet to see a question or the request to be left unanswered.

So, with another skinpack finished, there's a fer things I'd like to say.
To TS:
1) Don't know if it's just me, but the texture of the interior weapon bays on stealth aircrafts doesn't display properly. (That is to say: doesn't displays at all).
2) May I request Su-35A? I figure since it's pretty much Su-37 with some animations cut, it shouldn't take too long to add it.
To everybody.
3) What skin pack do you prefer next?
a) F-16C\MiG-29A "Nations of Strangereal" (self explanatory).
b) "Knights of the Round Table: Broken Mirror" - teaser pack, contains alternate version of some of AC0's aces.
c) Fixes and improvements in Su-27S\F-15C "Nations of Strangereal" pack.
d) "Aces of another worlds", skins from numerous AC clones.
Please PM as an answer to the 3rd question to avoid wipes.

Sorry can’t find any information about the Su-35A.
Can you provide me with some information of this model.
Or do you mean the Su-35 (T10BM-1)?

Sorry, my mistake. Su-35A is the name sometimes given to Su-27M (T-10M), the original recipient of "Su-35" index, to differentiate it from Su-35S.

Highest Rated (10 agree) 10/10

I am sorry I couldn't give it a 10/10 out of euphoria; but this is still an alpha; I am glad that such a ace combat pandora box has been opened; i was very pleased, really; and the only reason i cannot be more precise is the state of advanced sleep deprivation my brain is suffering from. The musics seem sometimes to be out of place and we can barely see what the entire game will be; but...... This is a godlike game. Really. I have never been so hooked on a game this "young" since years. Not even…
