Sortie

Sortie is a co-op game about flying an old twin-engine plane with your friends. One of you flies. The others read the map, watch for landmarks, push cargo out of the door, and climb out onto the wing with a wrench when an engine starts to fail.

It is not a flight simulator. The controls are simple: a yoke, a rudder and a throttle. The hard part is everything else: finding the way, dealing with birds, storms and breakdowns, and getting everyone back on the ground.

The jobs

Drop packages over a marked field. Try not to hit your own tail.
Fly passengers to another airfield and keep the ride smooth.
Put out field fires, and sow and spray fields from the air.
Fly at night by the lights of the farms and towns below.
Take jobs over the phone from the people around the county, follow their story, then keep flying odd jobs.

Flying

No GPS and no autopilot. You have a compass, an altimeter, a radio compass, a paper map you can draw on, and what you can see out of the window.
Fly too low and you hit birds. Fly too high and you are in the clouds, with lightning.
Engines, wings and the fuselage take damage. Fix what you can in the air; the rest has to wait for a hangar.
Refuel from cans, replace blown fuses, and land in a field when you have to.
If someone falls out, they can open a parachute, or wait at the nearest airfield until the job is over.

Together

Online co-op for up to 4 players through Steam. Friends can join at any time and take a free seat.
You can fly alone too: one pilot can take every job, but the plane is a lot easier, and a lot funnier, with a crew.
Nobody has a fixed role: anyone can fly, navigate, repair, refuel, or just ride along.
Earn money from jobs and spend it on upgrades for the plane.
