What's New in Pilots

1.3.0

October 10, 2026

Next Horizon: a new way to play, and a clearer airfield. • Adventure campaign for new careers: five flight programs connect era research to real flights. Aircraft must be capable of their route. Existing careers keep their rules as Classic and can choose Adventure at a voluntary New Horizon. • Grand Expeditions: three voyages with 16 story legs and Bronze, Silver and Gold honors that persist across careers. No deadlines. • New Horizon ceremony explains what carries over and keeps a log of your last 50 runs. • Compact home screen with one crank button. Tap any resource to see what produces, stores and consumes it. First Solo guidance points to your next step. • Fleets group by aircraft, route and mode with bulk dispatch, and fleet costs name the actual fuel. • New runway-to-sunrise opening that you can skip, with a shorter version for Reduce Motion. • Corrected production accounting: converters and refineries no longer create resources from nothing, and automatic crafting pauses when storage is full. Some production rates will differ from before. Your stored resources are kept. • In Adventure careers, repeated production, research and trade multiplier buildings taper after the twelfth copy. Storage and inventory are not reduced.

Tons to do. Needs a bit of balance.

I’m a bit of an idle game junkie, and I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of content in this game. I don’t play idle games with micro transactions, so happy this was only $.99 and with a very polished UI that didn’t reek of AI slop like a bunch of other newer idle games do. I got sucked into the game for hours so I’m giving 5 stars cause only a good game can do that, however I beat it without having to do a New Horizons (ascend), so I beat it in a few hours. So there’s some balancing needed as progress never really slowed down (mind you I was active the whole few hours of playing). Learning curve is pretty steep for some things, but there is a wiki which is unheard of for a small game like this. Quite surprised with a high quality game from a dev in ven cap; I have a feeling his other finance game will take many more hours of my time so I’m waiting to find the right time lol…maybe if dev replies :p I’d love to know his story of how he got into game creation.
