Skywright Flight

Skywright Flight is a standalone Luanti game about small aircraft, rough runways, parachutes, crash salvage, and light survival crafting.

The game is built around an old-school flight-sim feel: roll into a bank, pull back to turn, manage speed, and watch the ground. Players spawn at persistent home runways arranged around the origin, can fly trainer aircraft, fire early heat-seeking missiles, eject and parachute, repair runways, dig terrain, gather wood, craft tools, and build basic support structures.

Requirements

• Luanti 5.13 or newer
• No external mods required

Quick Start

1. Create a new world using the Skywright Flight game.
2. Join the world and read the in-game manual.
3. Type /plane to spawn and enter a trainer aircraft, or craft a trainer kit later.
4. Use /manual, /flightmanual, or /controls to reopen the manual.

Flight Controls

• Jump: throttle up
• Sneak: throttle down
• W / S: pitch nose down / up

World

• New players are assigned one of 12 persistent runways around the origin.
• Runways are generated with the world and are not rebuilt automatically.
• /runway shows your assigned runway.
• /airfield repairs your own runway.
• /airfield all repairs the full runway ring.
• /greenery [radius] lightly seeds flowers and thin trees into existing terrain.

Survival Basics

Pilots on foot can dig dirt, sand, flowers, leaves, wood, and stone-like blocks. Wood is slower to dig by hand than soft ground.

Basic crafting includes:

• tree trunks into wood planks
• wood planks into sticks
• wooden, stone, iron, and steel tools
• stone stove
• sand into glass
• cobble into stone
• aircraft scrap iron into ordinary iron ingots
• ordinary iron ingots into steel ingots
• titanium ore into lumps, stove-cooked titanium ingots, blocks, sheets, tools, and blast-resistant armor
• coal ore into coal lumps for stove fuel and torches
• cracked aircraft glass into ordinary glass
• trainer kit from iron, glass, and sticks

Notes For Server Hosts

This game is still early, but playable. Expect tuning changes to aircraft physics, dogfighting, crafting, and terrain. A fresh world is recommended while the game is changing quickly.

The flight model is server-side. High server lag will affect aircraft smoothness, especially with many planes or missiles active.
