Fly an Su-27 over the mighty Himalayan terrain

• 

  The mighty Himalayan terrain, at real scale

  High Himalayan valleys, Ladakh, Gilgit-Baltistan and Aksai Chin, about 800 by 690 km, from 30 m satellite elevation and land cover. Real airfields with lit runways, approach lights and PAPI, and Earth's curvature to the horizon.

• 

  An Su-27 you can feel

  A physics flight model with fly-by-wire, AoA and G limits you can switch off for the Cobra, and a jet built at real scale in Blender with every surface, gear leg, slat and canopy hinge animated.

• 

  A cockpit that works

  Instruments, warning lights, a collimated HUD, rear-view mirrors and an ILS for the practice approach. The pilot greys out under G and the head moves with the jet.

• 

  Clouds you fly through

  Volumetric cumulus, broken, overcast, fog and rain at varied heights, sunlit and self-shadowed, casting shadows on the ground, the trees and your jet.

• 

  Fly together

  Up to 16 pilots a server, with netcode built the way military simulators do it: other jets move smoothly and predictably, even in close formation. Join the official server at play.flightout.app or host your own.

• 

  Day, night and weather

  Any time of day with the sun and moon where they should be over the Himalayas, from noon glare to a starlit night, plus wind, turbulence and rain.

The film

First Light: the long cut

Almost three minutes of the same flight, held long: the scramble at dawn, the ambush from the ground with the missile seen from launch to the flares, two kills from start to finish, Mach 1 and home at last light.
