  • mscsim

    Simple flight simulator.

  • YSFLIGHT

    Source code of YS Flight Simulator - https://forum.ysfhq.com/viewtopic.php?f=167&t=10850 (by YSFlight-opensource)

  • It probably wasn't a question :) but piling on: https://github.com/YSFlight-opensource/YSFLIGHT

  • Ergo

    Fly a little ship around with raylib. (by brihernandez)

  • One of the chains is brihernandez/SimpleWings; Hernandez is better known as indie dev Why485, creator of Tiny Combat Arena, a throwback flight sim to the A-10 Cuba era. (Of course the reborn MicroProse picked it up.) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1347550/Tiny_Combat_Arena...

    Why's GitHub repo is full of useful things for game devs, especially Unity but also C++. https://github.com/brihernandez/Ergo is maybe most relevant to this post.

  • YSCE

    YSFlight Community Edition

  • > YSFlight

    I'm aware of YSFlight (used it since 2015), but it has a lot of issues and repo does not include whole commits history (it was opensourced year ago as a snapshot of latest version code base with few commits on top of it), so might be not a good example of simple flight simulator.

    Physics of YSFlight described in community fork repo.[0]

    Till YSFlight became open-source, physics was a "black box" and there was a research on reverse engineering its physics using game data logs.[1]

    Also, there is another fork with few fixes & enhancements, including in its flight simulator physics engine.[2]
