About Deadstick - Bush Pilot Simulator
Deadstick: Bush Pilot Simulator is a career-focused bush flying sim where skill, judgement and knowing the land get you home. Fly into unforgiving wilderness, deliver vital cargo, and help keep these rural communities alive - inspired by real bush pilots who do exactly that. It's more considered and tactile than other flight sims. From white-knuckle landings, last-second decisions, and flights that went south, stories emerge naturally here Because the best stories aren't about flawless flights. They're about surviving the bad ones. Most days you're picking your way through mountain passes, watching weather roll in from the north, and delivering cargo to communities that depend on you. It's methodical, absorbing work and the smarter your preparation, the smoother your operation runs. But the wilderness doesn't forgive poor judgment. When things go sideways, there's no reset button. Just you, your aircraft, and wherever you can find to put it down. MISSIONS Carve out your career as a bush pilot, taking on cargo deliveries, recon missions and dynamic jobs from a cast of colourful locals. PILOT FOR HIRE There's no head office and no boss - just you, a logbook, a fuel bill, and the next job. Choose what's worth your time, and reinvest your earnings in the gear and routes that pay off. INVEST Spend your earnings on upgrades, hangars, modifications and repairs. Invest in rural airports to improve their runways and add fuel pumps, cell towers and other facilities.Transform the island through the work you choose. REPUTATION Earn a local reputation one flight at a time. Each airport tracks your safety, reliability, care and skill, unlocking more jobs. Just don't crash and burn at a major airport. Word gets around fast. PILOT’S CORNER Personalize your Pilot's Corner with memorabilia, trophies, and photos you've captured on your adventures. Deadstick: Bush Pilot Simulator models the full reality of bush flying - from the aircraft systems you depend on to the terrain and weather that'll test every decision you make. FLIGHT MODEL From battery drain and weight distribution to stall behaviour and crosswind correction, every system behaves the way it should. Get it wrong and the aircraft will tell you. COCKPIT Study-level avionics, electrical loads, circuit breakers and instruments modelled in full. The better you know your aircraft, the better it'll serve you. NAVIGATION No GPS dependency. You're working with a map, compass, stopwatch and heading - the same tools real bush pilots have always relied on to find their way home. WEATHER & TERRAIN Updrafts and downdrafts, icing, thick cloud cover, grass strips, gravel and snow. MODIFICATIONS Access hangars to upgrade your aircraft into the ultimate STOL workhorse. Swap props for a faster cruise, enlarge the tyres for rough terrain, and tune the plane that suits the routes you fly. DAMAGE MODEL Worn tyres, failing systems, structural damage from a landing that was too heavy or a route that asked too much. Deal with what you've got, manage it home, or deadstick it down and hope the ground is kind.
