- A teaser of things to come... - 28 September 2026
Hello Flyout Community! Today we will be showing off some of the features coming to Flyout in the next update! These features have been heavily requested by the players and should continue to improve QOL in terms of building and optimizing your creations! The two main features I can talk about today are the Joint Preview tool, and the Area Rule tool, both of which should help immensely in workflow and optimization.Joint Preview UI:The Joint Preview tool will allow players to easily visualize how custom setups and inputs will function, without loading into the simulation to test, and then returning to the editor to tweak it. This is one of our most highly requested features (outside of Steam Workshop, which is still planned). This tool will be very useful in tuning things like gear actuation, bay doors, and other mechanization. As you can see here, the tool will move the parts in the edi…
- Quality Of Life Update! - 31 July 2026
The promised times are upon us! Quality of Life update brings many changes and fixes, including the very highly requested "Undo/Redo"! Immaculate F-104 in Luftwaffe markings made by "PauleWaule" on the Flyout Discord! After a short dev_test, we are ready to roll out the "QOL Update". Included in this update of course is the "Undo/Redo" feature, and other highly requested changes such as a paint palette, camera clip distance, input field options for precision adjustment, and many more which we will go over in the change log! We look forward to see how these changes improve your workflow, and as always we love seeing the incredible builds you all share with us! Full Change Log: Added:Undo and Redo for nearly every action you can make in editorNew Cylinder part as a fuel tankWarnings in editor related to disconnected parts and overwriting existing save filesPalette in Paint mode saves more…

- More QOL for the next update! - 7 June 2026
Hope everyone is enjoying the summer so far! I have another small preview of the next update to share with you all: The rotation and translation tool has been revamped to allow for more fine adjustments of your parts, and to fix that pesky "over-rotation" bug! The update is progressing smoothly, and will contain many bug fixes and player requested features (can you spot a few in the preview image?). We estimate that it could be pushed out mid-July if all goes according to plan. As always, this is just an estimate and not a hard deadline, and we will keep you updated as it grows closer!
- A small sneak peak of what's cooking... - 2 May 2026
Hello Flyout community! The devs have shared a little information on the next update to Flyout, and I can now share a little teaser with you all: Undo and redo is coming to Flyout! By default, it will remember 100 changes, however this amount is tweakable based off your preferences! The next update to Flyout will be less content heavy and more focused on QoL updates and bugfixes! I hope to have more information to share with you all soon! -Flyout CM

- "Procedural Munitions" Public Test - 20 March 2026
Hello faithful Flyout fans! It's been a while but patience pays off: The long awaited munitions update is finally here, as an opt-in beta! With a bunch of new functional parts, and an entire suite of customizable missile parts, you will now be able to arm your creations in all the ways you've been dreaming about! New parts include modern phased array RADAR and early mechanical RADAR, a jamming pod, and a FLIR targeting ball. For the missiles, there is a procedural seeker head, warhead, rocket motors, separators and fins! Custom missiles support various tracking methods including ARH/SARH, IR, direct coordinates, PRH, and "unguided", and your warhead has various options for explosive type and fragmentation pattern! With these new parts, there will be new bugs, which is why this is a "Dev_Test" of the new update. We wanted to get it into the hands of the players as soon as possible, but p…
