Skywhale Balloon
Available at https://eggman28.itch.io/hot-air-balloons I saw on the news that there were some awesome Skywhale balloons in Canberra recently but was grounded due to weather so I added this for fun. Flying over Lake Burley Griffin at Canberra Was hoping to find a 3D model that resembled that Skywhale more but this will do for fun…
Thunderbirds are Go !
Available at the “Fantasy” project – https://flightsim-squadron.itch.io/flightsim-fantasy (Could’ve been Sci-Fi but that project was getting crowded too) My son was a big fan of the show when he was younger so I’ve always had a soft spot for it. Using awesome model shared here. It’s not to scale, has no interior, has no animation, doesn’t…
Added Discus Glider
KingdMac and I recently collaborated with NewkTV for the Discus Glider shown below. Available here – https://flightsim-squadron.itch.io/discus-glider It’s still in development but I think it’s already more polished than a lot of my current mods. It provides for a really awesome gliding experience in VR. It has no engine to simulate the actual glider experience…
Added Space Shuttle
Made some updates to the Space Shuttle mod and placed in our “Current” Project. Did a search and saw that NASA shares 3D models and found this awesome model. No cockpit but the bay doors were shared as separate meshes so I animated them (triggered with the Flap key). Yes, I assume they’d never be…
Updated F-16
The F-16 is in the Top 3 downloads for our Jet Fighter project and I thought it could do with some updating. Available here – https://flightsim-squadron.itch.io/flightsim-aircraft Used this awesome model shared here. Still work in progress. Re-used the flight model and cockpit from our F-22 with panels and animated flight stick. Haven’t added throttle yet…
More updates Snowspeeder
Made the following updates to the Snowspeeder: Added animated flight stick Hid pilot in cockpit view Animated air brakes with aileron movement (probably should be tied to spoilers but looks cooler with aileron movement I thought) Added environmental occluder to show effects like rain on windshield Available on the Sci-Fi project – https://eggman28.itch.io/flight-sim-star-wars-ships Link to…
Ford Anglia (test version)
For the Harry Potter fans, there was a bit of interest for this so here’s an early version for the iconic Ford Anglia. Still early rough version but I’ve added to the “Fantasy” project – https://flightsim-squadron.itch.io/flightsim-fantasy Update note: This was a request from @Clifftonic Studios who looks to be doing amazing VR work !…
Flying Trabant
Added this for fun as there was a suggestion to add the flying car from Harry Potter and I thought this was a cool hybrid version of that but powered by hot air balloons rather than magic 🙂 Available with the other custom Hot Air Balloons here – https://eggman28.itch.io/hot-air-balloons It’s a Trabant car, not the…
Updated Glider
Been wanting to animate action to stow away the props on the glider. Mapped it Flap trigger. Had to choose between never showing the animated props when in flight or always showing it … Kept it as always being shown but might try never showing it for future update if that’s preferred. Available here –…
