New 3D Flying Game
I have just uploaded my latest game which is my first attempt at making a 3D style game.
You fly a lightweight aircraft through a series of loops to try and complete a tricky course.
Please try it, i hope you'll enjoy it.

Re: New 3D Flying Game
I have introduced the choice of two quality levels so it can run better so people can play it on slower computers.

Well, you asked for it 
Get rid of the game aspect and the hoops and turn it into demonstration of flying acrobatics:
1. Fly a complete loop.
2. Do a complete roll.
3. Fly a complete circular or figure-eight path parallel to the ground, etc.

surely that would be too easy?
But it would be a cool demo of programming skill.

Re: New 3D Flying Game
im thinking of doing a 3D game in space. possibly like jmgibsons capital but 3D would that show enough skill?

Post it when you do it. I would like to see it.

Re: New 3D Flying Game
i have worked out the basics after a long time struggling with the trig. you can now move and rotate viewing a set of stars. The complicating thing was making it so every thing moved in relation to you so the space ship does not rotate.
I still need to decide what to make the game like. having an enemy AI will make it really slow so im deciding between asteroids or a flying course like my previous 3D game.
any suggestions
