Games Like Wing It

Twelve years ago, Helen Whitaker took off from Swallow Field and never came back. Now the airfield is buried in debt, the bank is about to auction it, and Condor Group is waiting to buy it cheap. Gus Morrow, Helen's old mechanic, has written a letter to you, her grandchild. You have a hangar, a few tools and a lot of empty sky. The rest is up to you.

Wing It is a flight and transport game where you design your own aircraft, fly cargo across an endless procedural world and slowly turn a failing airfield into a working business. The game is in Early Access. The core is playable today, and the story, the aircraft and the regions will keep growing with updates.

You don't pick a plane from a list. You build it.

Lift, drag, weight and thrust come from the plane you built, not from a preset. The air gets thinner as you climb, so the engines lose power and burn fuel differently. You have flaps, reverse thrust, a parking brake and an autopilot that can fly you to your destination. The wings bend under load, the structure suffers if you push too fast, and when an engine fails you fight the asymmetric thrust all the way to the runway.

When something goes wrong, your plane doesn't just explode. It breaks along its structure: wings snap, the fuselage crumples, engines tear off, and the wreckage ploughs into the ground and knocks down trees. Ditching on water is simulated too. Your cargo spills out with everything else, and the customer won't be happy about it.

In story mode you start with the Sparrow, a small four-seat plane, and a pile of unpaid bills. Every mission takes you a bit further: new towns, heavier cargo and passengers who notice every rough landing.

If you just want to build and fly, sandbox mode puts you straight in the hangar with no story and no deadlines.

You can play with a keyboard and mouse or with a gamepad, and every control can be rebound.
