f18 is a remake of the original Amiga title f18 Interceptor.
Using the Defold game engine. The dev diary is here. Currently an in-development demonstrator.
Updates:
New Keyboard Controls - Pause is now PDashboard updates: Target, Landing Gear, Warnings, GForce, Weapons and more.Migs flying paths/routesMore improvements to f18 flight model (still more to come).Various improvements to scene. I hope to have a regular release every second Friday (Australian Central Time).
Currently this isnt happening as much as I'd like (due to various problems) so I will probably try every second week.

Much of the simulation is similar but many features are different. The goal for me was to make something that 'looks and feels' like the old game with a few new bits and pieces.
This is primarily a desktop game (there is no key input for mobile yet).
HINT: Press P to begin, and make sure you hold S right away or you will end up in the water!! Good luck!
