With the currently ongoing Flight Week event, we felt it was the perfect time to release an update on what we have been up to and our current plans moving forward with VRChat Aviation. There are a couple of projects we have been working on, so let's get to it.

NEW VRCHAT AVIATION HUB WEBPAGE

Aaron "Ribbon-Blue" Mendoza has worked on an amazing webpage that will be the hub for all of VRChat endeavors. You will be able to find everything from information about our original aircraft, direct links to our worlds and our VRChat articles in one place.

Make sure to give it a look, especially those product pages that we made for each of our current aircraft. They are amazingly built and can give you insight as to how much thought and effort has been put into making these planes.

WORLD DEVELOPMENT

Currently, we have one world in active development and one in maintenance. This new world will include planes that Santiago "Cubeboy" Cuberos modeled for At Skies' Edge, the indie flight game being developed by Mackerel_Sky, with his permission.

The idea is to have at least two planes available in the world, with a third one possibly coming at some point. Here are both aircraft coming to one of our worlds in the near future: F.GR-4:

K.F-21A

Markings and liveries are subject to change, since they were made for At Skies' Edge. Aside from these two aircraft, we have been working on another Skyward original aircraft designed by Caio "Hueman" Barreto. This one is going to go by the name of "Caravela", here is a WIP of its current form inside of CAD software:

Do not expect this plane anytime soon, but we will make sure to keep everyone informed of our progress as we approach completion. It will be made flyable within VRChat, of course.

COLLABORATIONS

We are in the process of planning at least two events alongside Dogfight Central. One tournament and one airshow. There are no current dates or timeframes, but we will inform you as soon as we can confirm and coordinate with the DFC admins.

DFC held an airshow last Sunday, September 14th, in a very similar style as what we want to host alongside them. You can expect our civilian and training aircraft to take part in it, with several solo and team displays to be flown during the event.

We have more content in the oven, but it is a bit raw to share at the moment. Stay tuned!
