Lakehopper

From the Devs

Challenge your piloting skills in a seaplane focused flight simulator that takes place in a persistent world where you are responsible for the care and maintenance of your plane. Parts wear out and must be replaced. Otherwise, you risk in-flight failures. At its heart, Lakehopper is a flight simulator, with a physics-based flight model that aims to be realistic and challenging. 

Fly between isolated communities in a flooded, rugged landscape that only seaplanes can serve. Deliver cargo and help connect towns separated by huge distances of nothing but mountains and open stretches of water. Use your skills as a pilot, and the navigational tools at your disposal, to hop between far-flung destinations. Keep your deliveries safe in unforgiving terrain and treacherous waters. Learn intricately simulated plane systems that are a mix of the familiar and the near-future.

A detailed simulation of a workhorse flying boat

• Assemble your twin engine flying boat seaplane from 100+ parts. 

• Walk around inside your plane! Being in a vehicle doesn't simply lock you into the pilot's seat, even while flying. Roam around the plane, do in-flight repairs, and reconfigure systems. Just watch your step and keep the door closed! 

• Refuel your plane and deliver cargo to isolated communities around the region. 

• Detailed plane subsystems with start-up sequences that require attention to detail.

• Complex water physics for seaplanes that float, take off, and land like real seaplanes!

A vast map to explore

• Fly across and explore a mountainous, flooded 360,000 square km (140,000 square mi) map. 

• Realistic terrain based on real world landscapes.

A challenging, persistent world

• The game doesn't end just because your flight does. Each flight informs the next!

• Check the condition of individual plane parts and replace them before they cause in-flight failures... or don't! 

• Track jobs, run checklists, look up navigational info, and reference assembly instructions with the in-game reference binder.

Fly your way

• Support for gamepads, joysticks, yokes, throttle quadrants, and many common flight sim peripherals with detailed control rebinding options.
