This is a weird review to make, because I really dig the concept and I've spent a solid few hours with the game. The flight model is mostly solid (but maybe it has a gimbal lock issue in the controls? ). Flying from ground to orbit and back and stuff like that is inherently fun, because it has a nice balance of realism, inertia and fun. However, it feels like a tech demo. Steam saves aren't there/don't work. Startup...

I love this game conceptually, but the tutorial for Launch & Rendezvous - the only one that really matters - does not work. Following the instruction places you in a highly eccentric orbit with a pretty sizeable RV to the station. I think this is because the game makes assumptions about the pitch angle you will maintain during ascent, but because the parameters like the actual size of the planet aren't given - it's...
