    A testproject to learn Unity. A little flight simulator. I will update it from time to time, and extend it step by step.

    Here a very first somehow working version. You can takeoff, fly around, and land. Graphicswise there is just a mainly flat terrain and my airplane. The zipfile contains the Unity project folder, and a exe version in case you don`t have Unity installed (file is not only here linked ... ).

    Flightsimu Build 18, Zipfile, 10.3 Mb

    http://reinerstilesets.de/flightsimubuild18.zip

    I`m pretty new to Unity scripting. Haven`t really known how to spell Javascript before three weeks. So forgive me the mistakes in the scripts :)

    What`s hopefully not a too big mistake is that the flying is not physicsbased. It is variablebased by design. Gives me more control. And it is easier to learn and to follow. Which was for me the most important point. I may switch to a physics based solution at a later point. But first i want to get as much out of the variable based solution as possible.

    One of my problems at the moment is that the movement of the airplane is not really smooth. It is linear in most actions. This is especially visible when i fly a curve, then change direction to the other side. Airplane flies immediately into the other direction. But it is still tilted to the other.

    I also search for a good tutorial around GUI. I want to implement some instruments. And i need a camera solution that doesn`t switch by 180 degrees when i fly a looping. And and and ...

    For now i have at least a rough flying. Which is good enough for a very first version.

    Suggestions, improvements, comments and critics are very welcome :)

    Nice arcade feeling and easy to fly,
    what you could add is crashing 8)

    keep it up

    Thanks :)

    Since it is variable based, i have no idea how :D

    But is definitely at my To Do List :)

    Code (csharp):
    1. var hit : RaycastHit;
    2.  
    3. if(speed > 10){
    4.  if(Physics.Raycast(transfrom.postition, -Vector3.up, 2){
    5.  if(hit.collider == terrain.collider){
    6.  disablecontrols = true;
    7. }
    8. }
    9. }
    This isnt the exact code naturally :) its just a simple piece that i decided to make real quick for ya. you would need to make a disable controls variable and set up a if(disablecontrols = false){ around the rest of your code. Also you can unfreeze the rotations and remove some mass from the plane.

    Thanks Gamenut :)

    Have a look at the moveairplane code. There already is a gameover variable to turn on or off the code. The very first variable called gameover.

    I fear my current knowledge isn`t big enough to fully understand the rest of your suggestions. Especially the unfreeze the rotations gives me headaches :D

    Keep in mind that i`m still a bloody rookie. But i will have an eye at this, and surely return to it :)

    I am at battling with GUI at the moment. Oh how i wish there would be a tutorial available for that ...

    Well, the assets are in the other folder. The Unity project folder. I wanted to provide both. The project folder so that other users can have a look at the code. And the exe to test it outside Unity. For my flavour there are not enough Unity projects out there where rookies like i can learn from. So this is my little contribution :)

    Or do you mean the flightsimubuild18_Data folder besides the exe? That`s what Unity creates when i click at build. Removing this folder makes the exe not longer work. So i have to include this folder too. Or is there a way to include the datafolder within the exe when building the exe?

    There are of course external exe packers. But i didn`t wanted to bother with that for my testfiles here :)

    the physics.raycast would be anything that is below the plane, but sadly i currently realize that this wouldnt be enough, probably just a on collision enter, set disable controls to true, sorry i have raycast on the brain. Unfreezing the rotation most likely isnt on though, ill take a look at your project, you probably dont have the rotation frozen anyways, so dont worry about that, just decrease the mass, i will look at the code and return with some results hopefully. :)

    Thanks for the link. That`s where i read at the moment. My problem is that my cases aren`t listed there. I have pictures of my instruments. And need the needles to rotate. And to just display a smaller rectangle of the compass for example. I hope that i don`t end in making a picture of every state. Would blow up the game. Gamestudio had functions for that cases :)

    Again a few steps further. And my enthusiasm about Unity has slightly decreased.

    The flying behaviour is more like flying now. Means except those situations where the airplane barges around in an impossible waveform. Or when it starts to shake. A overriding problem somewhere. But i cannot find it.

    What really bugs me is that i cannot retreive the local angle of an object. From 0 to 360. What is to retreive is the Euler Angle. And this one jumps from 0 to 180 and back. Which gives me big problems that i cannot really compensate. This one also stops me from making my horizon instrument. Remember it jumps by 180 degrees ...

    Next nightmare is the GUI system. I don`t get through. Hasn`t stopped me from implementing at least two somehow working instruments though.

    So here the next version of my little flight sim. You can still mainly takeoff, fly around, and land. The zipfile contains again the Unity project folder, and a exe version in case you don`t have Unity installed.

    Well done! Looks like you're making good progress.

    I sympathise with you about the GUI system. As far as I can see Unity has implemented an excellent visual editing / access system for 3D graphics and then done the exact opposite for the 2D.

    Still, it should be possible implement your horizon instrument. I made a rotating compass for a boat simulation.

    The guts of the Compass code is below

    Code (csharp):
    1. function OnGUI () {
    2. GUIUtility.RotateAroundPivot(boatTransform.rotation.eulerAngles.y, Vector2(needleRect.x+(needle.width/2),needleRect.y+(needle.height/2)));
    3.  
    4.  GUI.Label(needleRect,needle);  //draw Gui element
    5.  
    6.  
    7. }
    You'll need to look at the GUI scripting help to understand what's going on.
    I did experience the 180 degree thing you mentioned but this still seems to work...
    BTW as this is a compass it reacts to the horizontal plane rather then the vertical which you'll need for the horizon instrument.

    No idea how to mask the graphics behind the other instruments and would be interested to know from others how its possible.

    Keep trying, Unity can do pretty much anything you want but some things are much harder than others.

    Thanks for the code snippet. This will surely be useful somewhere :)

    Yes, some things are indeed harder. GUI is one of them. Let`s have a look how to work around them. Maybe this issue even disappears with Unity 3 ;)

    Meanwhile, for just showing a part of the graphics, as needed for the compass and the horizon, i`ve seen a slider example somewhere in the gui code. Maybe that`s of use here too. We will see. At the moment i battle with the flight behaviour :)

    Here comes version three. Build 49, 9.2 Mb

    Link removed, see first post

    Dive flying fixed. Salto forward gets completely blocked now. Only salto backwards works. Overiding problem with shaking fixed. Flight behaviour is finally exactly how i wanted it :)

    To layer the compass and horizon instrument was a very special chapter. And i still need to fix some texture stuff because Unity makes a padding around my textures by default. Which scales the textures, and moves them a bit out of position. But the instruments works as thougth.

    Except the horizon instrument. The euler angle flip ruins it when flying a salto. I can just retreive the euler angles from an object, and not the real angles. I have no idea how to fix this issue. That`s a real drawback compared to 3DGS.

    You can crash now when you collide with a mountain or land in a wrong manner. Crash is relative here though. I reset the position of the airplaine back to initial position and rotation in this case. Game over.

    And i`ve fixed some small stuff plus added other stuff here and there. Like wrap around the playfield so that you cannot fly underneath the landscape anymore.

    Further roadmap:

    - Fix the joypad input settings so that i have the same flight behaviour than with the keyboard
    - The mentioned texture fix
    - put everything debug into a separate file. This stuff is curently scattered over the instrument scripts
    - I need a better solution for the horizon instrument
    - Camera. It is still the standard smooth follow camera
    - Physical crash when possible. No breaktdown of the airplane, but a bounce for example ...
    - And all the little things to fix and to add when i stumble across them :)

    Somebody an idea how to fix the horizon instrument?

    For the camera tilt problem, I have changed the last line in the SmoothFollow script:

    // Always look at the target
    transform.LookAt (target, target.TransformDirection(Vector3.up));

    There is still something strange when the airplane is vertical, but it works...

    I think the Horizon tilts in the wrong way (left right inverted), so "tilt = moveairplane.rotationz;" in GuiHorizon could be ok.

    Haha, you`re right, horizon goes into the wrong direction. Haven`t noticed that before :D

    Thanks for that hint. And thanks for the camera fix. That`s definitely better :)

    I need to have a closer look at it anyways I think this odd camera behaviour is also connected to my eulerangle problem with the horizon. The moment the camera jumps a bit is the moment where the eulerangles flips. I don`t really get it that there is no way to retreive the full, not flipping, local angle in Unity. That is a must have in my opinion :)

    Have started some experiments to convert the euler angles to full angles by using three dummy objects now. Let`s have a look how far i can push it :)

    I cannot get the horizon instrument to work proper. My problem is still the Euler Angles. I need Local angles. The try to convert Euler Angles to Local angles turned out to be impossible with Unity.

    The try to catch the angles by variables failed too. That`s this try here.

    As told, using Euler Angles fails too. They flip.

    And that was it. Running out of options.

    In case somebody wants to play around with it, here the file. Maybe somebody of you finds a solution here. 5MB:

    Link removed, see first post

    What i did was to introduce two more variables to catch the movement with. I`ve added localrotationx and localrotationz everywhere where i manipulate my object, the airplane. Still, at the latest after the second looping nothing fits anymore. The variables counts different than my movement code. And i don`t get it why. I fear i`m lost with my horizon instrument without further help :)

    Here comes the fourth and last version. Build 61 comes with some last final changings

    - Performed the mentioned texturefix at the GUI textures
    - Debugvalues are in a separate file now
    - Added two other cameras, and a way to choose between them. The one camerascript is from Unitywiki
    - Added physical crash. Airplane is not breaking, but it bounces now.
    - Added a way to drive across hills.
    - And some minor changings here and there.

    I wanted to fix the joypad input too, and i wanted to fix the horizon instrument. But my knowledge is simply still too small for that. Maybe when somebody of you shows some mercy ... feel free to change the files in the way you want :)

    There is still lots of finetuning missing. And it is of course buggy. But it was not my goal to create a game, i wanted to learn something. And i have arrived where i wanted to go. The project has fulfilled its purpose. I`ve learned the basics. At least somehow :)

    So that`s it for now. This project is done. Have fun with the result. Maybe it is of use for some of you.

    Finally, many thanks to all of you who has helped me with my first steps in Unity. I hope i can pay the help back at one point :)

    The zipfile contains the Unity project folder, and a exe version in case you don`t have Unity installed. You can takeoff, fly around, and land.

    The link doesn't work, perhaps you've misspelled the file?

    If you're talking about using a "top hat" control, then this can be set up in the input manager. Even though the controls are buttons, they need to be set up like an analog joystick. Search for "top hat" in the forums here, I started a thread on the topic a long while back.

    If it's something else that isn't supported by Unity, then google for the free app "AutoHotKey". It's a cool little app that allows you to remap joystick keys to keyboard keys and visa versa.

    I haven't had a chance to look at your code yet, perhaps you can post a snippet of the code you're using? I created something like this a while back using GUIUtility.RotateAroundPivot, is that how you're doing it?

    Ah, thanks for the hint. Was a typoe, link should work now :)

    Nope, it`s about this issue here: http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=47273&highlight=

    Keyboard has smoothed input, Joypad not. And i cannot get the advice to work :)

    Full commented code is in the project file. GUIHorizon.js .The code itself works, that`s not the problem:
    Code (csharp):
    1. var  mainskin : GUISkin;
    2.  
    3. var bgImage : Texture2D;
    4. var fgImage : Texture2D;
    5. var pitch = 0;  // rotation around X
    6. var tilt:float=0.0; // rotation around Z
    7.  
    8. function OnGUI () {
    9.  
    10.     GUI.skin =  mainskin;
    11.  
    12.     if (moveairplane.rotationx < 180) pitch = -210-moveairplane.rotationx;
    13.     else pitch = -210-moveairplane.rotationx+360;
    14.  
    15.     tilt=moveairplane.rotationz;
    16.  
    17.     GUI.BeginGroup (Rect ( Screen.width/2-304, Screen.height-144, 128, 128 ));
    18.  
    19.  
    20.     GUI.BeginGroup (Rect (22,19,84,92));
    21.  
    22.  
    23.     //---------------------------------------------------------
    24.     //Here comes the rotation
    25.     var matrixBackup:Matrix4x4  = GUI.matrix;
    26.  
    27.     var pos:Vector2 = Vector2(42,45); // rotatepoint in texture.
    28.    
    29.     GUIUtility.RotateAroundPivot(tilt, pos);
    30.  
    31.     var thisRect:Rect = Rect(0,pitch,84,512); //x position, y position, size x, size y
    32.  
    33.     GUI.DrawTexture(thisRect, fgImage,ScaleMode.ScaleToFit);
    34.     GUI.matrix = matrixBackup;
    35.     GUI.EndGroup ();
    36.     GUI.Label (Rect (0,0,128,128), bgImage);
    37.     GUI.EndGroup ();
    38.    
    39. }
    My problem is that i rely at the Euler angles of my airplane. They flip when i fly a salto. And so does my instrument. What i would need is local angles instead Euler angles. I was adviced to use Vector3 for that at one point. But i am totally lost how. My knowledge is too weak. It`s a bit more than six weeks now that i first touched Javascript :)

    That one was a little challenge again, heh. But i got it finally managed. Here the moveairplane script version with smooth joypad arrow buttons. In this scriptversion the joypad arrows behaves the same way than the keyboard. Finally :)

    It`s just the moveairplane.js script in the zipfile. No need to reupload the whole package. Just replace the script. Gives you also a way to check the differences between the two script versions.

    Have fun :)

    Remains the Horizon Instrument issue :)

    Ok, I see what you're talking about. I also looked at my "hacked" artificial horizon and it looks like what I created (a long time ago) suffers from the same issue. :( So I'm not sure I can help code wise... But I was wondering, would it be possible to change the gui texture when the pitch > 90 degrees? Might work.

    Thanks for your input bigkahuna :)

    Yeah, this euler problem is a tough one. It`s not only my horizon instrument that suffers from it. Watch the camera 1. Same issue :)

    The 90 degree idea unfortunately fails. It flips by 180 degrees when it flips. And there is no way to find out if the euler angle is at its normal state or if it is at its flipped state.

    I heard about a vector3 method. To compare the vectors between a static object and the rotated one. But that is ways over my current knowledge.

    Try this!

    The rotation angles now are ok... but there is still something strange (i.e.: GuiHorizon it's ok at 0 degrees, but degenerates a bit around 180)

    I used the Tinus function AngleSigned from this thread:

    http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=46956&highlight=track

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2.  
    3.     static var rotationX: float;
    4.     static var rotationY: float;
    5.     static var rotationZ: float;
    6.  
    7.    function Update ()
    8.     {
    9.         // pitch from 0 to 180, positive above horizon, negative below
    10.         rotationX = GetPitch(transform.rotation);
    11.         // from 0 to 360
    12.         rotationY = GetYaw360(transform.rotation);
    13.         rotationZ = GetRoll360(transform.rotation);
    14.     }
    15.    
    16.     static function GetPitch(rotation:Quaternion)
    17.     {
    18.         return AngleSigned( Vector3.up, rotation * Vector3.up, rotation * Vector3.left);
    19.     }
    20.    
    21.     static function GetYaw(rotation:Quaternion)
    22.     {
    23.         return AngleSigned( Vector3.left, rotation * Vector3.left, rotation * Vector3.up);
    24.     }
    25.    
    26.         static function GetRoll(rotation:Quaternion)
    27.     {
    28.         return AngleSigned( Vector3.up, rotation * Vector3.up, rotation * Vector3.forward);
    29.     }
    30.    
    31.         static function GetPitch360(rotation:Quaternion)
    32.     {
    33.         var rot = GetPitch(rotation);
    34.         if (rot < 0) rot += 360;
    35.         return rot;
    36.     }
    37.    
    38.         static function GetYaw360(rotation:Quaternion)
    39.     {
    40.         var rot = GetYaw(rotation);
    41.         if (rot < 0) rot += 360;
    42.         return rot;
    43.     }
    44.    
    45.         static function GetRoll360(rotation:Quaternion)

    The code above does'nt works (there is still interaction between X,Z axis).

    This works, with no interaction:

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2.  
    3.     var rotationX: float;
    4.     var rotationY: float;
    5.     var rotationZ: float;
    6.  
    7.     function Update ()
    8.     {
    9.         // pitch from 0 to 90, positive above horizon, negative below
    10.         rotationX = GetPitch(transform.rotation);
    11.         // heading from 0 to 360
    12.         rotationY = GetYaw360(transform.rotation);
    13.         // roll from 0 to 90, positive left, negative right
    14.         rotationZ = GetRoll(transform.rotation);
    15.     }
    16.    
    17.     static function GetPitch(rotation:Quaternion)
    18.     {
    19.         var dir = rotation * Vector3.forward;
    20.         var angle = Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, Vector2(dir.x,dir.z).magnitude);
    21.         return angle * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
    22.     }
    23.    
    24.     static function GetYaw(rotation:Quaternion)
    25.     {
    26.         var dir = rotation * Vector3.forward;
    27.         var angle = Mathf.Atan2(dir.x, dir.z);
    28.         return angle * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
    29.     }
    30.    
    31.     static function GetRoll(rotation:Quaternion)
    32.     {
    33.         var dir = rotation * Vector3.left;
    34.         var angle = Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, Vector2(dir.x,dir.z).magnitude);
    35.         return angle * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
    36.     }
    37.    
    38.     static function GetYaw360(rotation:Quaternion)
    39.     {
    40.         var rot = GetYaw(rotation);
    41.         if (rot < 0) rot += 360;
    42.         return rot;
    43.     }
    44.    
    45.

    You should add the posibility to do rolls in the air.

    And maybe a bit of inertia, would add realism :p

    Thanks coin-god :)

    Problem is, for me it does what it should. I don`t want rolls. And inertia would mean to use physics. Which is the opposite of what i wanted to achieve here.

    But feel free to modify the file in the way you want. That`s why the whole source is included :)

    Regarding rotation angles, maybe you should switch to a rotation matrix, this is what I used for my helicopter physics engine for fsx http://www.hovercontrol.com/artman/publish/article_110.shtml

    euler angles do not work above certain angles (if i remember > pi/2)

    I can send you the function in c# if you think this helps you
    bye

    Thanks frednaar :)

    A Rotationmatrix sounds like another very valid route to go. Unfortunately such stuff is still miles above my head when it comes to the needed knowledge, heh. But feel free to modify the original files in the way you want :)

    Hey this is wonderful!

    I took a look at your horizon problem and if I'm not mistaken I think it's a really easy fix.

    in GUIHorizon.js
    Line #47

    Replace:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2.     GUIUtility.RotateAroundPivot(tilt, pos);
    3.  
    With:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2.     GUIUtility.RotateAroundPivot(-tilt, pos);
    3.  
    Seemed to look correct after I made that change even when I did some flips etc..

    This has been great! However, has anyone else noticed the problem seemingly created by the convex mesh collider put on the default mesh? If you crash once the plane acts sporadically (Not banking on turns and sometimes shaking quite violently). It does not seem consistent either, not doing it everytime. If I uncheck the convex box it stops all that but now lands and sinks into the ground a bit, eventually falling through. Still playing around with it a fair bit so might stumble upon something.

    The shake is the battle between the pysics engine and the fact that i move the object by values. I never came around that one, sorry. The solution would probably be to move the airplane by forces instead values. But this means less control.

    You can add this to the cube A BOMB Here is the script

    //Add a Bomb
    var bomb : Transform;

    function Update() {
    if(Input.GetKeyDown("t")) {
    bomb.parent = null;
    bomb.rigidbody.isKinematic = false;
    bomb.rigidbody.velocity = rigidbody.velocity;
    }
    }

    function FixedUpdate () {
    rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.forward);
    }

    Attach this script to Cube on the wheels and attach Sphere to Cube. Attach RigidBody to Cube and click
    "is kinematic" same with Sphere.

    It took me about 30 seconds to add CloudsToy to this. It can bring your computer to it's knees very easily, but it sure looked great!!

    yeah, Cloudstoy is great (i made it) but must be carefull while configuring clouds or you'll get a nicely game at one FPS.

    Does it any include Physics Component? An example, if we enter the wind area , The plane change its velocity or something like that.

    The script is moveairplane.js

    The codepart is called limiting to playfield. The line starts with line number 308.

    Yes, unfortunately. I found no way to get rid of the physics and have colliders the same time. And the airplane is variable controlled, not physics controlled. So sometimes the physics battles with the variables ...

    My moveairplane.js is only 280 lines, do
    I have a lesser version? (I have build 61.) This is what my code looks like, I just want to disable it.
