This is a Flight Simulator project implemented in OpenGL as part of a CENG469 Computer Graphics course assignment. The goal of the assignment was to implement environment mapping and reflection capabilities using cubemaps. The project was implemented in C++ and OpenGL. You can find more detail about the project here

Flight Simulator

The codebase follows a mini-game engine design, with separate classes for different functionalities:

• Camera.h: This class helps to control the view of the scene and manage the camera movement.
• Mesh.h: This class is responsible for storing mesh data in buffers and handling mesh-related operations.
• Shader.h: This class creates shaders, sends uniform data to the corresponding shaders, and manages the rendering pipeline.
• Renderer.h: This class binds the buffers as shader attributes, renders objects using index buffers, and loads textures.
• UAV.h: This class handles the flight mechanisms and calculations for the airplane.
• SkyBox.h: This class handles the skybox calculations and rendering.

Flight Movement

• OpenGL 3.3 or later.
• C++ compiler supporting C++11 or later.
• The project has been tested on Linux platform.

1. Clone the repository:

https://github.com/ramazantokay/Flight-Simulator.git

2. Change into the project directory:

cd Flight-Simulator

3. Build the project using the provided makefile:

make all

1. Run the executable:

./main 

2. Use the controls to manipulate the rendered surfaces.

The keyboard controls are as follows:

• W Speed up
• S Slow down
• A Rool left
• D Roll right
• Q Change camera view to Left
• E Change camera view to Right
• R Change camera view to Back
• T Change camera view to Front

• The dynamic reflection of the skybox has some issue, will be fixed
• The flight mechanism is not perfect, will be improved
