Anyflyer flight simulator

[and-r]

Hi All,
This is my little flight simulator project which I started making over a year ago.
It has simple graphics and no sound (yet?) but airplane behaviour is quite realistic.
You can control the plane by mouse and a few keys on the keyboard.
You can also modify parameters of the aircrafts in text files and see what's happening.

Versions for Linux and Windows are available to download from:
https://github.com/and-r/anyflyer

There is also a short video on Youtube:

Feel free to test/watch. All comments are highly appreciated

Hi and-r,

welcome on forum and nice to have another opensource game (haven't played yet, will check soon). Tiny note about images not showing up in your post - just put them in another post and it'll work (no images in first forum post had become necessary at some point because of spammers).

Watched video. Like it. Keep up good work

The code should have physics as seperate file(it was hard to find), also I added below lines to pro file to compile with QT Designer on linux. when i choose paraglider it freezes a couple seconds after pressing space bar.

INCLUDEPATH +=/Dev/libs/game/irrlicht/Irrlicht-SVN/include
LIBS += -lIrrlicht -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lGL -L/Dev/libs/game/irrlicht/Irrlicht-SVN/lib/Linux

what is the endgoal of the project a complete working simulator like microsoft flight ?

Thanks for comments,

@tecan, I use Qt creator and don't need these lines in pro file. Is Designer an other IDE than Creator?

when i choose paraglider it freezes a couple seconds after pressing space bar.

Is it just after loading a scene, when unpausing should run the simulation? Or later? Anyway, I don't have it on my machine. Paraglider is a tough model, maybe because it has many very thin triangles as ropes.

The code should have physics as seperate file

Yeah, maybe it would give some elasticity, but the simulator was not planned as a big project by myself.

Project's goal? Hmm.. it is a difficult question The goal was just making it, for fun and to learn programming. I don't have any serious plans for it now.

@Cutealien, I will see with the images.

Echoing CuteAlien: nice to see another open-source flight sim. Flight sims are a good first project for a game, especially if you're not interested in modeling much. hehehe
