Flight Simulator in Unity3D: Weapons and AI (Part 3)

[@ltfuller]

The missile knows where it is.

[@JD-2000]

It knows this because it knows where it isn't

[@TheOneGaming0]

⁠by subtracting where it is from where it isnt or where it isnt from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference or deviation

[@bruceli3067]

I added on some more features, such as target selection and flares! I really enjoyed playing with it, and I'm glad you made this :D

[@PatrikBergsten]

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

7:47 oh no not the PTSD 😭

[@lawrenicium2845]

Another highly educational video, despite this all being in Unity your videos has helped me with Godot a lot

[@fmailscammer]

I'm about to port this to Godot for fun :)

[@quontiumflight]

This video is extremely helpful, thank you! Can't wait to implement some of these ideas into my project

[@hotlinefrenzy]

I tried the game on itch and the AI was waay harder than I expected lol .. Good work!

[@2ksnakenoodles]

Any chance you could tackle helicopters? The system you have here is really nice!

[@luyandasilindokuhle3942]

The missile knows where it is 😂😂😂

[@LuiDeca]

this is the kind of game I always wanted to make! saved!

[@JebediahKerman185]

The next video should be a cocpit view

[@RogueBeatsARG]

Could you make the missiles lock inside the Circle? like the Seekerhead looking limits? or you doing it Ace Combat style?

[@SkyZizzle]

Anyway to display multiple enemies?

[@adamnorbertszabo4351]

why is "error = Quaternion.Inverse(plane.rigidbody.rotation) * error;" necessary?

[@samuelbowers3289]

Great video, I’ve been using this iver the last 7 months In unreal and it works perfectly thank you. Is this the final video in the series or will there hopefully be more?

[@Vazgriz]

I may make another part about a physics based flight sim (I've done a stream about that before). But this is all I have for now.

[@samuelbowers3289]

@@VazgrizI’ll be patiently looking forward to it thank you!

[@ericsternwood9812]

Anybody else had PTSD flashbacks at 7:47 or is it just me?

[@Darksouls-52-IlI]

THATS LITERALLY THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT 😂

[@tdc9951]

Very cool! Keep it up

[@Aldonkingttd]

Hey, Can you add Commercial Planes and Plane Crashes

[@Random_avgeek-w5f]

Can you add GPWS (Ground Proximity Warning System) to your game?

[@Vazgriz]

The ground avoidance system at 13:55 is basically a GPWS for the AI system. That code can be easily adapted to warn human players as well.

[@Random_avgeek-w5f]

@@Vazgriz can you also add the Stall warning, ground avoidance warning, and the sink-rate and Overspeed warning?

[@noblechump9]

you could use cesium for the map

[@1storyshiftchara778]

this video is my one piece

[@Survivalist_Redo]

shouldn't the bullets be te same shape and length as the raycast they use?

[@Vazgriz]

The raycast has to be the same length as the distance the bullet traveled in the last frame. The tracer effect is purely graphical and can be any length. You could make it the same length as the raycast if you wanted to.

[@pradyunkatta4105]

@Vargriz pls do keyboard control

[@lisandroherrera6019]

nice

[@epicboi3213]

Please add a way to play it on keyboard too

[@popbob4780]

nice
