About
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.

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!

Fly across and explore a mountainous, flooded 360,000 square km (140,000 square mi) map.
Realistic terrain based on real world landscapes.

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

i love this game i would like it if they added a money sistum
It's true there isn't much to do right now but, you can see the dev working on it. I think it's a good game to just sit down and relax for a while. There isn't a fast pace or anything super complicated to do, that's why I enjoy it personally. No problems with performance or physics. It doesn't have any damage models yet, I don't know if it will but, the dev did recently add another plane in the beta build. Overall, it's an interesting concept and it's a good game to buy if you're looking for something to just chill out and play for a bit. I look forward to seeing where the dev is gonna take it.

great potential! love the slower and more realistic approach.
To be honest, this is a great game with tons of potential. I think the game could have a system where you need to work up to upgrade the planes with new engines, tanks, and getting better airplanes. Adding on to this there should be a reward for delivering packages, like getting a currency to buy the upgrades and planes. I also feel there should be special missions for extra fun.
I love this game. It has so much potential. After learning by error, I finally was able to fly using VOR Navigation and find the other places. I recommend setting 'SENSITIVITY' for the 'L' Joystick to as low as possible. That smooths out the X-Box Controller flight controls. The highest altitude attained so far is FL 12,000 feet, set prop at 75% and had an airspeed of 165 kt.s level flight. Best decent speed for 1200 feet per minute is 155. Be prepared to adjust 'Roll Trim' as engine torque affects yaw and roll. Callouts: 30* Flaps : V1 - 65 VR - 68 V2 - 71 - ish.
firstly, this is an EARLY access game. dont let that stop you from hopping on the good price, and enjoying it. it's getting strong updates, and has a basic foundation beating most AAA flight games. I have ZERO doubt that one day soon i will be like an addict, shaking when i dont get to make a seaplane delivery at least every 24 hrs. this IS the game you're looking for. for what it's worth i dont have a hotas and i find it fine to play. ALSO currently runs on wine fine.
Excellent and simple bush/waterborn plane simulation. You first have to assemble your airplane engine and systems and then install it all on the airframe. You have to maintain the engine parts and refuel. You have basic OBS/VOR navigation to remote villages among the island chains. The map is modeled off of the areas around Seattle Washington up to BC Canada and are very convincing. I do wish the sim contained some of the major cities in the region as they do have seaplane bases in real life. The sim just got an update with a new free 2nd plane, A Beaver. Highly recommended.
This is a tough one...in it's current state it doesn't really have replayability...in about 4 hours you are done...but this is a diamond in the rough, that is why i will give it a thumbs up. I really hope this game will prosper and have a great story like interation with people that need deliveries and you will get them there...making money in the meantime...upgrading and maintaining your plane and transport company....
Es un juego que a primera vista podría parecer vacío o simple, hasta que te subes al avión y te das cuenta que todo lo que el Dev no ha puesto en diseñar las ciudades, trabajos o cosas por el estilo lo invirtió en su totalidad en el manejo del avión y las físicas. El estado actual en el que se encuentra el juego al menos lo que respecta aviación que es su atractivo principal esta muy bien hecho y completo, el juego tiene bastante potencial y se ve que el Dev le ha puesto cariño simplemente viendo los manuales de vuelo. Quizá para algunos no sea tan atractivo invertir en un juego en un estado temprano, pero al menos para mi es un juego con mucho potencial y que incluso en su estado actual es bastante bueno
