Fixed some depth precision issues with the island shadow volumes, so now their shadows look sharp at any distance #gamedev #flightsim

Still needs a bit of blending, but I've added some new stencil shadows to the floating islands that look much better at a distance than just the shadow maps alone #gamedev #flightsim

The new clouds still need some better lighting effects, but chasing planes through them feels pretty good #gamedev #flightsim

I've had a hard time deciding whether to implement volumetric clouds or something simpler, but the volumetric clouds are starting to look really good mixed with the floating islands #gamedev #flightsim

They're still a work in progress, but I've been making some new clouds #gamedev #flightsim

The first person view has been broken for a while, but now it's fixed #gamedev #flightsim

Made this last night because I wanted to have an example I can point to whenever I see people have bad player ship/plane/vehicle/camera controllers that just 1:1 mirror game input and how much of a difference even a tiny amount of smoothing can make to game feel.

Revisiting the way enemy planes get fatigued. They'll still start to make shallower turns over time, but should be able to keep avoiding the floating islands a bit better now #gamedev #flightsim

Starting to test some scaled-up dogfights. Enemy planes will now spread themselves out across multiple targets instead of all ganging up on the nearest one #gamedev #flightsim

Redid the afterburner effects and added a bit of color to the exhaust #gamedev #flightsim

Yup, the red is just a mask. I still need to play with the shape a bit, but at least I don't have to place them by hand for each plane anymore

Exhaust masks are now placed and scaled dynamically with the plane's exhaust nozzles #gamedev #flightsim

In a video game a Comanche attack helicopter is flying low over a tropical island.

More skilled enemy planes will try to use nearby floating islands to prevent you from getting a lock. But they'll get tired eventually #gamedev #flightsim

Made some big performance improvements to collision detection. The game doesn't actually have to do a lot of collision detection, but it's very important that it's very accurate between the player and the floating islands #gamedev #flightsim
