Hi,
Flyable microlight aircraft.
- Quite realistic but very simple flight model.
- Joystick support and configuration menu
- Flight recorder (key O) and playback (key P)
- Slalom course
Walk with your 1st person to the left door, press E (or joystick button 5) to open the doorr, enter, close the door, start Engine.
Welcome:
Enter the Aircraft through the left door(E), close the door, start the Engine (E),
-Fly the slalom - try to beat your own time, (the next way point is also indicated by the Heli instruments.)
Your flight will be recorded and played back the next time you fly the slalom: You can see how you flew.
You can turn off the Slalom recorder by setting the property 'slalom_recorder' of the object 'ZSE' to false.
Exiting the Aircraft is only possible with stopped Engine (E).
Default is Joystick for the Aircraft.
You can use the mouse instead for the Aircraft unplugging all joysticks or by setting
'Controller-Joystick' to None in Joystick Menu (key J)
In this menu you can also choose a 'Tracking-Joystick' for HeadTracking in Cockpit view

About Controller-Joystick:
For a Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2 to be recognized by Blender add this SDL2 code:
030000005e0400001b00000000000000,SideWinder Force Feedback 2 Joystick,platform:Windows,a:b7,b:b4,x:b6,y:b5,leftshoulder:b2,rightshoulder:b3,leftstick:b0,rightstick:b1,leftx:a2,lefty:a3,rightx:a0,righty:a1,dpup:h0.1,dpleft:h0.8,dpdown:h0.4,dpright:h0.2,
to the file:
UPBGE-0.30-windows-x86_64->3.0->datafiles->gamecontroller->gamecontrollerdb.txt
Or for your joystick create a SDL2 code with one of these Tools:
https://generalarcade.com/gamepadtool/
https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox
and edit your joystick Axes and Buttons in the Joystick Menu (Key J)
About HeadTracking-Joystick:
Setup your favorite HeadTracking software (TrackIR, OpenTrack, FreeTrack, LinuxTrack) to output to a virtual Joystick (vJoy, PPJoy). And set 'Center-Button' to the same as in this game (Joystick-Button 2)
E.g. on Windows you can use TrackIR->FreePie->vJoy. For FreePie the Python script from here is used:
https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/497411-workaround-trackir-chaseplane-vjoy-freepie/
I use my TrackIR3 Device with Freetrack->FreePie->vJoy with another script.
You can find a copy of both scripts for FreePie in this blend here.
