📜️ "blabla" 📜️

FlyingGuns is a flight- and battlefield simulator used to develop and test approaches for low-resource, internet enabled games and distributed simulation. Areas of application might be industrial and military simulation or entertainment.

The same time, FlyingGuns is a 3D action computer game capable of single- and multiplayer gaming.

FlyingGuns lets the player enter a WW1 fighter plane and fight against human or AI opponents. Having slow planes keeps the gameplay compact. The game is capable to handle a real lot of opponents the same time. Fighting against 100 AI opponents solves the 'where is the enemy' problem, which is quite common to flightsim today, in an extraordinary manner.

FlyingGuns layers on top of the HeadQuarter technology that is developed simultaniously. Some effort has been taken to create an extendable framework for such kind of application. So FlyingGuns is just one example of what the framework can be used for.

Our goals are:

• Provide the community with a flight sim game that is really fun!
• Find a publisher putting the game on the shelves.
• License the technology or parts of it (e.g. HeadQuarter)
• Find sponsoring partners.
• Do custom development.
• Include contributions of the community. 3D models wanted!!

⌨️🖱️🎮️ CONTRÔLES:

Controls
FlyingGuns can be controlled with keyboard + joystick or mouse. The mouse cursor being in the center of the screen means that elevator and aileron are neutral. Pulling back the mouse corresponds to pulling back the flight stick, which normally means 'up'.

LEFT/RIGHT arrow aileron
A/D rudder
W/S throttle
space fire
c switch camera to next plane
C switch camera to players plane
v toggle camera mode

🕵️ Test (0.3b3):
Même en choisissant 40 IA ennemis le jeu reste fluide sur une petite configuration graphique. Par contre il n'y a pas de son et il n'est pas aisé de viser d'autant qu'au cours du vol la vue arrière de départ migre peu à peu et de manière incontrôlée vers une vue à la 1ere personne sans viseur. On doit aussi éviter de bouger la souris car les commandes s'effectuent à la fois par les touches fléchées et la souris.
Pas mal.
