chris330 0 Posted September 20, 2007 Thanks for the reply. If we were for example, to produce (or more likely acquire-which I have) a basic flight sim engine, then in theory couldn't we - using player input commands - create our own flight model and use an integrator to turn calculated forces and accelerations into positional changes, where said positional changes (yaw,bank,pitch) could then be implemented using your method or the matrix method? Just a thought of a big project which could be undertaken were one so inclined. I'll have a read through my Ian Millington book again and see if I'm still so keen on the idea after reading his matrix part of it Quote[/b] ]For me, it required a lot of time and effort, to get as far as I did. I'll be it did mate. You should have seen the amount of time I wasted working on a setpitch function for OFP. I don't even want to talk about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UNN 0 Posted September 20, 2007 One of the books I have "Physics for Game Developers" by David M Bourg, has a section for modelling aircraft. From that, I can't see why you couldn't implement such a thing using the scripting language. The ARMA engine already handles things like collision detection. But there is a still a lot you would have to add yourself, like dynamic sounds and AI e.t.c Just as a couple of examples off the top of my head. Add to that how it would work in MP.

A matrix just offers a more flexible way of calculating it all, if you’re writing a system from scratch. Quote[/b] ]I'll be it did mate. You should have seen the amount of time I wasted working on a setpitch function for OFP. I don't even want to talk about it Lol...Well that’s another side. In this case, it's my lack of natural aptitude when it comes to maths and probably not paying attention when I was at school It took a lot of, wading through numerous examples coupled with trial and error, to figure out something that at least worked. I'm sure there are other people on the forums, better qualified to answer these questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
