I would absolutely love to have a decent flight sim running on my AmigaOne, we have been depraved of a decent flight sim that utilises a graphics card and PPC hardware.
Would be prepared to pay for the game if ported to OS4 even if it is GPL or open source! _________________ SAM 460 with 2GB or RAM, 1000GB HD, 4 port SATA, DVDRW drive and Radeon HD 4650 GFX card. |

Sorry! not with my programming skills it would be ready after 100 years :(
Someone could check sources and check would it be difficult? I know that portin game to amiga from different platform might take anything between 2 hours and years.

Having just looked at the steel swallows website I can tell you that it wants "IBM or fully compatible" - x86. It may be open source but to port the code from x86 to PPC could be a nightmare.
If it were just SDL it would be a bit easier but as this is designed for x86 I can imagine it would take a while longer. Without being a programmer I cannot tell you more but it seems slightly more difficult than just a recompile.
If I'm wrong (Toaks) please feel free to correct me. GiGa _________________ Owner of uA1-C with OS4.0 |

| @utri007 Who said porting DOOM was easy? For it to appear on Amiga, many people had to do more than punch a few keys (linux port etc.).

OK I have understand wrong.
There is multiple ports for this game so I dared to hope that this one would be easy.

Dunno, is TFX open source or even GPL (very much doubt it)

With this one engine could be possible to get many different flight simulators.
Is that engine coded with C

Hmm, i have found something strange on that site:
Quote:
Official Source Code
* FST "FLY" Open Source The above mentioned code only includes the fly.exe code less the toolset code and any sound * FST "TOOLSET" Open Source could be released in the near future to limited developers to bring a new suite of applications built for the newer operating systems including being ported to other development platforms like AMIGA Anywhere or Linux

I've understand that fly.exe is needed to play games, and tool set to develop flight sims.
I really would like to see this one it would bring some many different flight sims to amiga, and I belive that some of those would really fly with my 040 40mhz a1200.
Some of those games looks much better than TFX and some not :)

Bwa, it most not be as good as TFX.
Something like A10 Tankkiller would be good for a start. _________________ A1G3-SE + OS4.1 u1 iso (x2) |
