MoeNovel released an all-ages international version of Flight Diary on 27 February 2019. [7] This version, as with If My Heart Had Wings, replaces all 18+ content with alternative scenes, or cuts them entirely. This release omits the Himegi sisters scenario, by virtue of it being composed almost entirely of erotic content. On 23 April of the same year, Akari's scenario was released as downloadable content for Flight Diary under the title New Wings: Akari. [8]
The opening theme for the visual novel is "Precious Wing" by Chata and the ending song is "Perfect Sky" by Haruka Shimotsuki. In its soundtrack, there are 29 songs in total.
