Iceberg Interactive announces the release of Vector Thrust on Steam, as the aerial combat game is lifting off out of early access. Here's word on how the process helped refine the game: "Developer TimeSymmetry has listened to its community and has implemented many new features, including an uncanny tally of 260 aircraft, 170 challenges, 13 story-based missions, single and multiplayer modes, and modding tools. Vector Thrust is a refreshing blast from the past for gamers fond of the popular ‘90s console combat flight games." You can take a look at the game in the launch trailer, and there are more details in this announcement:

Vector Thrust is a fast-paced action-arcade combat flight simulator with a unique cel-shaded art style for PC. With an extensive variety of game modes like the unpredictable and vicious Quick Action, a customizable Skirmish Mode, and multiple immersive story-based campaigns, Vector Thrust aims to please both players wanting to get straight into the sky and those that love a flexible diverse and customizable gaming experience. Featuring an advanced tactical AI that actively analyzes and responds to a dynamic battlefield, as well as more than 260 fully playable aircraft (through various iterations of more than 45 models) and even more naval and ground units that all work to complete their objectives in different ways, Vector Thrust offers missions that are never played the same way twice.
