About this game
Master the cockpit of highly realistic spacecraft in this Newtonian physics based sim. Take off from surface to space, plot course between the planets and dock with space stations. Trade commodities or take shipping contracts to buy upgrades and optimize your build - every choice matters.
Flight Simulator meets Truck Simulator in space
Final Orbit is a culmination of over 5 years of development, combining realistic space flight physics, orbital mechanics, large scale solar systems and full fidelity cockpits.
The Cockpit
Inspired by modern aircraft such as the F-35, the cockpit features a large touch display which can be customized to the pilot's preference and mission parameters. Each display has a purpose, and every button has a function. Learn how to manage every aspect of the spacecraft including propellant, heat, and power.
The Physics
Getting from one point to another is achieved with realistic space flight physics. So be ready to plot maneuvers and encounters using actual orbital mechanics! But don't worry - this is easier than it sounds thanks to the onboard nav display.
The World
Every planet and moon in Final Orbit is hand crafted, and nothing is procedurally generated. You will be able to fly between the moons of a gas giants, dock with orbital platforms, travel between planets and even solar systems, all with realistic scale and distances.
Shipping, Trading, and Upgrades
Take shipping contracts or buy and sell commodities to build your fortune. Money will get you better modules for your craft, new spacecraft, and more. But optimizing your spacecraft is not just about getting the most expensive components: for example, your choice of insulation and radiators will depend on how close or far you'll want to get to the sun.
VR and HOTAS supported
Note: VR is not supported in the current playtest version, and will be fully supported in the future.
For the ultimate realistic experience, step into the cockpit in VR and operate the craft with either VR controllers or HOTAS.

Playtest begins July 1st
After a long wait, the first Final Orbit playtest is planned to begin on July 1st. We're looking for feedback from the community on the core gameplay such as the flight mechanics, cockpit displays, graphics, etc.The playtest will run until the 14th of July, so please sign up today so you can take part!Read full article on Community Announcements (spore1)Patch NotesOfficial
Planetary terrain update
Over the last month, the terrain system has been completely replaced with a high quality, detailed and customizable system that allows for complex terrains with lots of detail. There's a lot more work to be done, for example adding some ground objects such as stones, rocks, and boulders, but this update shows where the art direction is going!Currently, we have these two moons, both of which orbit the same gas giant: Macracken - a rocky moon dominated by a large fractured canyon. It is about the size of Earth's moon with a slightly larger mass and gravity. Dilla - Frozen and cold, it has a number of very large impact craters. It's smaller, about the size of Neptune's Triton with a similar massMore planets and moons will come in the future, stay tuned for more updates!Read full article on Community Announcements (spore1)
