Vector Tango

FLIGHT LOG #1 ·

FROM THE
TOWER.

hey,

when i started Vector Tango, i promised myself i'd ship early and often. that didn't quite happen.

we started with one airport and one game mode. now we've got an entire campaign, five maps, dynamic weather and time of day, emergencies, a sandbox that lets you build your own airport, and an entirely new VR mode.

here's my first flight log. if you're on the beta, you have it now. if you still haven't signed up, here's a link to get access.

WAYPOINT 01

a real control tower

flip one switch and your living room becomes a VR control tower. the planes you route on the board land on the runway outside the window. spin the board and the whole airport turns with it.

WAYPOINT 02

five airports. competitive at every one.

Niagara, Hamilton, North Bay, Toronto and London, all in Ontario, Canada. every map has competitive mode with 24 levels and its own leaderboard.

WAYPOINT 03

career mode opens

Campaign follows my dad Frank's career as an air traffic controller, shift by shift. every run is rated up to five stars.

Level complete in Campaign: four and a half stars and a note to Frank

WAYPOINT 04

day to night, clear to storm

the time of day changes every level and the weather every two. at night the falls light up and the planes show their lights.

WAYPOINT 05

fuel and fighter jets

low-fuel planes have to land first. leave a plane in military airspace too long and a fighter jet comes after it.

WAYPOINT 06

put the board anywhere

grab it, turn it, lift it, resize it. set your airport on the coffee table or make it the size of the room.

WAYPOINT 07

controllers, hands or a pen

play with Quest controllers, your bare hands or the Logitech MX Ink pen. your first game, a ghost hand shows you each move.

WAYPOINT 08

a radio in your room

the music plays from a little radio. carry it and set it on any table, and the sound comes from there.

WAYPOINT 09

sandbox: build your own airport

move the tower, add runways, plant trees, pick the weather and the time of day, and fill the sky with traffic. no score, just your airport.
