Web Demo : https://oyedoyin.itch.io/silantro-flight-simulator
RECOMMENDED BROWSER: MOZILLA FIREFOX




This is a complete AAA flight simulation plugin,and even though its in the Beta state its got some pretty amazing features such as

• Realistic Aerofoil System: Calculate Cl,Cd, Lift and Drag based on the aircraft's speed, altitude and wing angle of attack as it is in real life. The lift generated by the aerofoil is also dependent on the air density which also varies with the aircraft's altitude. [Future UPDATES]: Temperature dependency and possible integration with Unistorm Weather System.
• 
• Control System: Aerofoils can be controlled with a series of control surfaces such as Aileron, Rudder, Elevator, Slat and Flap. Control Surfaces maximum rotation can be individually adjusted and set. Also can each be controlled individually.
• Health and Destruction System: Every part of the aircraft can be made to destroy either by health or by collision in case of a crash!!!!. As long as the part is separated from your aircraft from a 3d application before import to unity, it can be destroyed and separated from the aircraft making the destruction even more realistic.
• To add to the extra realism of the explosion system, the aerofoil is also destroyed making the aircraft lose lift and control in that specific region. If the part cannot be destroyed and separated from the aircraft, the damage can be transferred to the central health system either by " SilantroHit.cs" or "SilantroPartHealth".
• Flight Data Logging System: Aircraft flight data can be saved and logged into a text file, which can be reviewed later. Normal flight data such as speed, altitude, aircraft name, current fuel amount, current health amount, heading and climb rate can be recorded. [Future UPDATE] Engine data Logging. Sample log file is attached below.
• 
  
• Radar System: Radar system identifies aircraft's, missiles, ground attack targets really anything that can be tagged in unity. Current using only the radio signal system, Future updates will include Electronic and Infrared radar system which would be based on electrical signals and engine EGT signals emitting from the aircraft.
• Targeting System: Receives available data from the radar system, and selects the best target based on the set system 1. Basic: Selects the closest target [Future UPDATE- 2. Advanced: Select current target based on the highest priority which would also be set]
• Weapon System: The aircraft is equipped with a variety of weapons such as the 1. Mini-Gatling guns, 2. Drop Bombs [To be equipped with a laser guidance system in the next update] . 3 Missiles [Still in development] and 4. Rockets [Also in development]
• 
  
• Realistic Engines: The aircraft is powered by a Turboprop engine [Future UPDATE- Turbofan and Turbojet engines to power the Jet CTOL and STOVL aircrafts]. The engine is pretty realistic with the thrust dependent on the aircraft speed, air density, altitude fuel type and possibly temperature in future updates.
• Landing Gear System: Can be setup without external animations.
• Highly Customizable Controller: Outputs a lot of data from the aircraft, engines and all of its components.

Hopefully i'm gonna finish the clean up and release it before the end of this week. Please Check out my YouTube channel[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYXrhYRzY11qokg59RFg7gQ] and Instagram[https://www.instagram.com/dada_doyin/] page for more development videos.

// Comments, views and contributions would be highly appreciated

 

*Hydraulic system for Canopies, Doors, Vents and other movable parts without External animations.
F-35 Hydraulics Test-

* Health and Damage system: The aircraft, aerofoil surfaces, tanks and engines can all be destroyed in a realistic manner
Sample Destruction Video -

* Realistic aerofoil system based on basic aerodynamics by Chris Cheetham. With a wide variety of controls such as: Ailerons,Rudder,Elevator, and Flap. Slat and Ruddervator will be included in the next update.


*Easy setup and control, user friendly C# scripts and more...



*Planned Updates:

-Weapon and Targeting system (70% done) Progress Video- Unguided Bomb test -

-STOVL and VTOL Controllers (40% Done) VTOL Flight Test Video-

-Deatiled UI controls and Instrument Display.

-Connection with Unistorm weather system and more...

You can create your own realistic aircraft with this package. Just create a new aircraft from the Gameobject menu,adjust the engine, weight, fuel and wheel parameters,add models and other components you wish to add... then you are ready to go. Easy to use and very customizable.

UPDATE##

Airfoil system update .. With xfoil data plots



Wing Airfoil: contain lift, drag and moment plots against alpha



Propeller Airfoil: containing data such as CT, Cp and eta for both stationary and dynamic conditions.



Airfoil Shape Plot: the shape of the airfoil can be visualized during selection.



All propeller engines will now require the propeller airfoil prefab, thus reducing the amount of data to be supplied.

 

FULL WEB DEMO NOW AVAILABLE!!!

https://oyedoyin.itch.io/silantro-flight-simulator

PS: Recommended Browser: Mozilla Firefox

 

Here is the Short Take off Demo;

Guidelines;
1. Start Engine and wait for start up sequence to complete
2. Switch to STOL mode by tapping 8 on the keyboard, wait for Liftfan to run up to full speed.
3. Release parking brakes by tapping X on the keyboard.
4. Throttle up engines and fly away.

Your last video looks fine. The others are to low quality with that low frame rate. And its a shame because this assets looks like has a lot of serious work on it.

 

Yea I just got a new PC with better graphics

You can follow the full development update here :https://forum.unity.com/threads/released-silantro-flight-simulator.522642/page-4

 

#WEAPON SYSTEM UPDATE

 

#UPDATE

Spoilers have been added to the aerofoil system. The can be easily controlled and modified.


//
//
TEST VIDEO

 

#SUPER UPDATE
//
Mobile version of Silantro Flight Simulator is coming with the update!!!!
//
Demo video (Initial test with no graphics optimization yet and basic UI controls)

 

#UPDATE 2

Boeing 737-500 Takeoff with new aerofoils, full flaps and slats.

//
V1- 145 knots

 

Nice. Consider adding a trail renderer for ilustration purposes. This is a good way to see the movement in air as environment is simple and there are no much references

 

Sure i'll do that. Was holding off on adding graphic effects before.

 

#UPDATE

Got started on the weather system which is supposed to be the last puzzle piece to complete the first update.
-: Added Time of day settings
-: Added temperature-air density variation.

Local Temperature data can be saved as a preset i.e weather data can be gotten from "AccuWeather" or other weather data suppliers and loaded into the system.
//
Here is the temperature plot for my current location.

//

//

 

#UPDATE

Electrical Propulsion has been added to the system.

Components
1. Electric Motor: It draws power from a battery pack composed of several batteries connected together, the batteries can be recharged using the battery charger.


//
//
2. Battery Power

//
2.1 Battery Charger: Recharges the battery from power supplied either by a solar panel or in future updates, a generator


//
//
SOLAR POWER SYSTEM
//
Components
1. Solar Cell


//
2. Solar Module; Combination of several cells


//
3. Solar panel: combination of several modules in either series, parallel or combined configuration


//
Video of the electric power configured A-29 Tucano coming soon
//
//
Also basic radar system is almost complete

 

#UPDATE

Electric Motor Powered A-29 Tucano, you can see the solar panel for charging the batteries on top
