Title: Self made Flight Model (and game demo)
Post by: Ex-jazz on December 19, 2008, 04:35:19 PM

Hi

I have been coding now and then a basic resource for the simple and straight forward canyon air-race flight game... The flight model.

After 4.5 months part time studding, coding & testing work I finally could made this:

This demo is made with Blender Game Engine.

CONTROLS
There are available only a pitch and roll controls with mouse movements. You can reset the mouse with mouse middle button. No throttle control yet.

Note
The sky dome object and texture by Nikolay116 (gameblender.org).
The Packard Merlin V-1650 engine sound for the P51-D by unknown AH2 user sound pack.
The canyon object and texture by me.

BTW
The biggest reason for this project was my need for the math & physic re-practicing.

(edit)
Just in case the reference links to the Blenderartists forum

- unable to exit out of programe...mouse pointer was lost. Alt-F4 didnt work.

Hi

Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the late response.

@ SouthLanda
You can exit the Blender 'Game mode' with ESC-key.

I made some changes:
- A new terrain, based to the Brontosaurus GSLS test.
- A new Air-Race track with gates by me.
- The rolling is now more responsive.
- The G-force effect is added to the Lift / Weight calculations.
- A tuned 'plane' specification.
