A screenshot of a mountainous environment in a simulator
Before I return to far less interesting tasks, I experimented with getting a global heightmap into the simple flight simulation, and... it works?! Feels like sourcery to parse a grayscale picture of the planet into 3D terrain. Now I really "do" need to implement shadows #gameDev #coding #flightSim

A small, single-engine propeller airplane with a white body and red accents on the tail and rear fuselage flies low over a densely forested landscape. The aircraft is angled slightly upward, suggesting it is either climbing or maintaining steady flight. The registration D-MJXY is visible on the side of the fuselage. Below the plane, a vast expanse of green forest stretches out, broken occasionally by clearings, fields, and patches of farmland. A long, straight runway from a former airport is visible through the forest, running parallel to the planes flight path. The horizon reveals a mix of flat terrain and distant fields, with the sky above mostly clear, dotted with scattered clouds. The scene conveys a sense of open space and natural landscape, with the airplane as the only visible sign of human activity.
The cockpit dashboard of a Cessna aircraft shows a clear view of the instrument panel and the runway ahead. The central panel includes an airspeed indicator reading 55 knots, an attitude indicator showing the aircraft level, an altimeter, a turn coordinator, a heading indicator, and a vertical speed indicator. Two radio stacks display frequencies 132.650, 124.850, 110.50, and 113.90. The aircraft registration D-MJXY is visible above the center console. Outside, the runway stretches straight ahead, flanked by green fields and clusters of trees under a partly cloudy sky. The scene suggests the aircraft is either preparing for takeoff or in the early stages of landing.
A small white and red single-engine propeller aircraft flies just above a narrow, straight concrete runway. The plane is slightly banked, suggesting it is taking off. The runway cuts through a dense, green forest that extends into the distance, with patches of open fields and clusters of trees visible on either side. The sky above is mostly clear, dotted with scattered clouds, and the landscape below appears flat and expansive, giving a sense of openness and natural surroundings.
The cockpit of a Cessna aircraft shows the instrument panel with the registration D-MJXY visible. The airspeed indicator reads approximately 90 knots, and the altimeter, vertical speed indicator, heading indicator, and turn coordinator are clearly visible. Outside the windshield, a large, dome-shaped industrial structure sits amidst a forested landscape. The sky is partly cloudy, with patches of blue visible. The aircraft appears to be in level flight, passing near the structure, which stands out due to its size and metallic appearance. The surrounding area is dense with green forest, interspersed with clearings and fields. The horizon shows a mix of flat terrain and distant tree lines.
Natürlich klar, dass ich mir das auch mal aus der Luft angeschaut habe.

It's #BirlingDay, when we fly a Sussex-dwelling, Talisker whisky-loving grumpy millionaire (Mr Birling) to a Six Nations Rugby Union match, this year France v England at the Stade de France in Paris, & the teetotal First Officer attempts to purloin the whisky. #MSFS2024 #FlightSim #Aviation #AVGeek
How it started... A simple plane, made of 3d primitives, bad flight dynamics, bad graphics

My flight simulator is now 3 months old!!! I honestly didn't think I'd be able to work on it for so long, normally I stop these projects after a few days or weeks 😅. Thank you so much for your support here on Mastodon and on Bluesky, it helped me to keep […]

There are some great freeware sceneries of RAF bases on flightsim.to, including the newly updated RAF Valley on Anglesey, and RAF Brize Norton. This RAF jet trainer, an Embraer Phenom 100, flies between the two, a super small jet and easy to fly too. #MSFS2024 #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek
...for Rugby fans off to watch France v England tomorrow. It's decent now, but not as smooth or full-featured as the ToLiss A319; some odd system procedures, such as aligning IRS, are different (& more complicated) to ToLiss & Fenix. #Flightsim #Aviation #AVGeek #XP12 [2/2]

Why do Accu-Sim aircraft sound alive? 🔊✈️
Scott explains why audio has always been a core part of Accu-Sim driven by combustion physics, vibration, and real aircraft behaviour.

A small twin-engine private jet with a white fuselage, dark blue tail, and red accent stripe is in flight, positioned slightly left of center. The aircraft flies low, its nose angled slightly upward, suggesting steady navigation. It moves across a vast landscape defined by a complex network of winding rivers that reflect sunlight into a bright, shimmering ribbon. The sky is clear and deep blue, with the sun high in the sky creating a pronounced lens flare. Below, the terrain is predominantly brown and arid, interspersed with clusters of green vegetation, while distant horizons blend into a hazy line. The plane’s tail displays the letters TMC in dark text against the light background. The scene depicts a serene aerial journey over a delta-like region under a bright, clear day.
A small airplane with a white fuselage, dark tail, and extended landing gear is descending toward a coastal area. Below, a long sandy beach curves along the edge of a deep blue ocean, bordered by dense green forests and scattered residential neighborhoods. The landscape features numerous small lakes and winding waterways, with flat terrain extending into the distance under a clear, bright blue sky. The aircraft is positioned centrally above the coastline, with its landing gear lowered, indicating preparation for landing near the populated shoreline. The scene captures a smooth approach to land over a mix of natural and developed areas, with the ocean on one side and the horizon visible under a cloudless sky. The terrain below includes patches of developed land, forested regions, and small bodies of water, all under a vast expanse of clear blue sky.
A small white single-engine airplane flies low over a coastal landscape. Below, a sandy beach curves along the ocean’s edge, bordered by a strip of residential neighborhoods with red-tiled roofs. To the left, dense green forests and scattered waterways, including a winding river, stretch toward the horizon. Interconnected roads and patches of developed land with houses and parks are visible. In the distance, the ocean meets the sky under a clear blue atmosphere. The scene captures a sunny day with the plane positioned centrally, moving over a mix of natural and human-made environments.
Inside an aircraft cockpit, the main display panels show active flight instruments and navigation data. Three primary screens dominate the panel: the left screen features an attitude indicator with a heading of 319 degrees, a glide slope indicator, and altitude information; the central screen displays a map with green terrain, blue water bodies, and navigation details including Approach - KCRG-ILS-32 and Active Nav; the right screen mirrors the left with similar metrics. Knobs and switches on the panel are labeled with functions like HDG, ALT SEL, CRS, and D-MJXY is visible near the top. Outside the cockpit, the windshield reveals a clear view of a landscape with suburban residential areas, industrial buildings, a large runway, and multiple bodies of water under a bright sky. The aircraft is approaching a landing, as indicated by the navigation data and runway alignment.

A striking image of a F-14 Tomcat engulfed in flames and a long trail of fire behind it, surrounded by darkness. The aircraft is missing its right wing and is headed to the pitch black sea below.
On the front a UH-1 Huey hovers. While a AH-64 Apache has landed on some grass a little further away with its rotor spinning, a big dust ring is being kicked up by the Apache.
Shot of an Apache helicopter flying above a town that stretches from the bottom left to the top right. It’s a little cloudy and tending towards dusk. A Chinook can be seen at the top left circling the same area.
Close up of the Chinook from before a bit later, with smoke pouring out of the aircraft but still flying. A vehicle is on fire on the ground below.
I run a weekly community co-op event where we fly #DCS, most recently often also some #NuclearOption. Most recently we’ve been doing a play through with a rotary bent of a custom campaign I’ve been making together with @NeneExists.
