well, not quite new, it's been in development for 11 - 13 years by Impeller Studios. it's just getting it's finishing touches now and a game play video has been released via an LT Gaming mini-review.
New Game - In The Black
- Thread starter Marzipan
- Start date
It started as Starfighter Inc. on Kickstarter, I backed it in 2017. We'll see if my name is in the credits on release. 
Looks pretty interesting, curious how it plays once people get more time with it.
I think it'll be a welcome addition to the space sim segment of the market. I don't have time or enough interest to add it in the early access phase, but I'll be watching it for sure.
this is where you'll want foot pedals to help control your thrusters.
Not necessarily. I ended up ditching foot pedals in my current setup and switched to other axis for control. Modern flight sticks that add the twist axis handle this nicely and are less cumbersome (and easier on the back!) than pedals. I still like pedals for a flight/jet sim, but I don't find them necessary in a space sim even with this type of flight model.
Star Citizen allows you to decouple they call it, meaning you have close to Newtonian flight controls. You can also turn off the flight computer aids like auto-slowdown when gear are deployed, G-safe controls so you black out less, etc. if you want that more "real" space flight feeling.
Nothing wrong with pedals of course. I just decided it wasn't worth it in my experience.
