I have always been interested in programming a flight simulator
and since I have just completed a course in graphics I would like to
give it a go. I only know the 3D graphics required for such a program
and I am completely ignorant about the actual flight simulation code.
Does anyone out there have some idea of what variables I should look
for? I want to simulate WWI planes as much as possible, so what type
of data should I get on each plane?
If someone has some source code that I could plug in the plane data
too, I would do a backflip! (C code preferred, but I will take any
thing, or even some BOOKS that would tell me about flight simulation.
I have hit the libraries, but found nothing worthwhile.)
Thanks in advance!!!
