Hi everyone,
I wanted to share AIR COMBAT LEGENDS, a retro-inspired single-player combat flight game I’m currently working on.
The game is set in an alternate 1990 Cold War conflict, where the Soviet Union launches a full-scale invasion of Poland and East Germany. The main focus is the dynamic procedural campaign.
Before each mission, you recon the battlefield, decide what to hit, choose the pilot and aircraft, plan the strike, and then fly the mission yourself.
The game is heavily inspired by classic PC combat flight sims such as F-29 Retaliator and F-16 Combat Pilot. I’m aiming for something more accessible than a full study sim, but with enough depth that aircraft choice, mission planning and what happens in the campaign actually matter.
Some of the current features include:
Dynamic procedural campaign
Squadron and pilot management
Pilot permadeath
Reconnaissance and strategic target selection
Cold War aircraft including the F-14, F-16, F-4, F/A-18, F-117, SR-71 and others
Here is the announcement trailer - YouTube: LINK

All development updates are also posted on X: LINK
The project is still in development and quite a few things are still WIP, but I thought this might be a good place to show it, especially given how many people here have been playing combat flight sims for a long time.
Happy to answer any questions about the game.
