  5. 💼✈️ Ah, the 1940 Air Terminal Museum, where history is so precious they've decided to liquidate it like a garage sale. Apparently, the best way to honor 82 years of aviation history is by pawning off #simulators to the highest bidder. 🚀🔧

  11. years ago I proposed a design for an airport simulator which, if used, could have helped prevent (or signif reduce the chance of) the kind of airplane vs firetruck collision at LaGuardia that cost lives.

  12. I've add a background 🖼️ and change the light 💡 rendering.

    For who ones who has an interest, you can download the new version from "Dima stand 🧍‍♂️" Codeberg page 🏔️👉 codeberg.org/xolatgames/Dima-s

    Or check its source code 👉 codeberg.org/xolatgames/Dima-s

  13. Hello again! So I've add a ground also, and rotation in both x and y axes 👉 codeberg.org/xolatgames/Dima-s

    And also prepare the game to publish (and published a game's executable), so you can download the new version as executable file now 👉 codeberg.org/xolatgames/Dima-s

    Have a good evening and night to everyone! ✌️😉

  14. So, I couldn't resist, and added a texture, and an animation to the game about Dima who just stand 🧍‍♂️👉 codeberg.org/xolatgames/Dima-s

    And, you can also try to build this game through CMake now, so you don't need to install CodeLite for building this game especially.

  22. 🎉 Big #news, folks! The #EFF and #GitHub teamed up to create a #Rust #tool with a name straight out of a sci-fi B-movie, designed to detect #cell #site #simulators on an Orbic hotspot. 🚀 Because obviously, that's the top priority for every developer desperately sifting through GitHub's endless menu labyrinth in search of productivity. 🙄

    All plane #games I ever saw for #PC were those complex simulators with complex realistic controls. Those are really cool! But I’m personally not the biggest fan of them, they’re too complex for me and I was never able to even take off on most of them.

    Now, I was talking to a friend and he thinks that 95% of people who like #plane games are nerds who love realistic #simulators. He thinks games like the one I used to play don’t exist on #PC because most people wouldn’t play them.

    But I absolutely loved that game and I would be super interested in playing something similar!

    I’m wanting to get into #gamedev in #Godot and I think developing something like that would be a nice project to learn before doing more complex games.

    So: Is he right? Would any of you be interested in a game like that or am I really the only one who likes those games?

    Please do comment elaborating on your answer! I’d love to listen to opinions on this (and also if there are already any PC games like that)!

  32. Okay, I’m curious:

    Growing up, I always liked plane games - but not actually “plane simulator” games (I was never able to get a plane to take off on one of those #simulators lol). I’m not talking about games that give you complex reality-inspired controls or anything, I’m talking about games that give you a speed control and your phones gyroscope for direction and that’s it - if you get enough speed then you fly.

    I played many #games like this, but I’m thinking of Flight Pilot for iOS. It had a free flight mode, you took off and landed on an airport (there were little indicators above them of the mission types available in them) and got missions of different types:

    • Passengers (take off and land on a specific airport)
    • Packages (take off, get in a specific area and press a release button inside it)
    • Rescue (take off, get in an area, land)

    Thing is: Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think there are any games like that for PC!

    Unigine is used on vast visually stunning modern games.

    Other uses: simulators. virtual reality & other visualization (map / on a trip, etc).

    Vulkan? A modern (FREE & OPEN SOURCE) high-performance real-time 3D-graphics (with more effective CPU usage) that can replace Microsoft's proprietary Direct3D :afire:
