Flight Simulator Project

Post by Prime Productions »

Hello Everyone!

I am back after a long while. I've completed a few games (Quad Crumble among others) but now I'd like to take on something big.

As I have a considerable amount of 3D coding skills (software, OpenGL, DirectX) I thought I'd like to delve into that arena. The idea is to create a fun game while showcasing FreeBASIC's capabilities.

I am planning a Flight Simulator powered by Delta3D (or Irrlicht).The goals are a graphically appealing simulator similar to Flight Unlimited III. I would like it to run on a 800mhz processor.

Anyway I was wondering if anyone wanted to team up on this one. Reply if interested. Also I am open for suggestions.

You might want to checkout CRRCsim. I think it is open source.

Thanks for the link, it is interesting, however, this is C++. I am hoping to create a FreeBASIC simulation. Actually, though, someone suggested an even bigger better idea. I am currently working toward that.

Thanks anyway!

Hello again:

As an update on this, I now have a 3D modeler on the team. Also, after a talk with an object modeler, we have decided to turn this more into a real life simulator. In other words, instead of just being a flight simulator, it will now model many kinds of jobs, (police, military, airline, etc.) I am still interested in looking for a good FreeBASIC programmer who can work with Irrlicht. Email me at david.primeproductions.gutierrez at gmail dot com if you are interested.

As a final update I will no longer be using FreeBASIC. It will be C++. Ignore all previous posts. Moderators feel free to delete.

Thanks

Good for you, I heard C++ is a great language for making 3D games.
Good luck!
