Pilot Modeling
The ability to climb very high without the necessity of oxygen to keep the pilot conscious was great concern.
Q. How is hypoxia modeled?
A. We plan to model some aspects including ones that affect the pilot such as weariness with G-forces, wounds, hypoxia and maybe some other aspects.
Q. When one of the crew is wounded, how does the other crew member react?
A. Well, it still isn’t modeled (re: earlier multi crews comments) but I think he will try to make an emergency landing and land as fast as possible, as it was in reality.
Modding
Q. What sort of add-on support will there be for modding skins, the flight model, damage model, objects, maps, missions, campaigns?
A. After the initial release: skins, missions, and campaigns.
Q. Will the GT team be offering add-on aircraft after the initial release?
A. Yes.
Q. Is there any expectation of third party inclusion?
A. Well, at the moment we can’t pay for third party modelers. Maybe in the future. Right now we have one person who is a volunteer.
Q. What will the player be able to modify in the sim?
A. Its still under discussion, but “for sure” as I described above: skins, missions, campaigns.

A. Not yet.
Q. Will the ground features (such as buildings) be destructible?
