Our friend from Texas, artist and science-fiction writer born under nickname of C. Shawn Smith, made this nice compilation from pieces of our published and some unpublished videos created during the year 2010.

Here's also an older video showing Apache AH-64 after the support for helicopters has been recently added to JSBSim library. There still seem to be some bugs and our parameters for the model aren't entirely right either, so the behavior might not be absolutely correct.

Still, flying the helicopter is a great fun. I wasn't able to fly helicopter in a simulator before, probably just because I never tried hard enough. But flying it here - over the forests and through the canyons and close to the rocky walls - that gives it a completely different feeling and experience, so even the types of me can get easily lost in time while wandering over the unknown lands here.

Amazing work guys.. It makes me wish I could get my game supporting large landscapes so I could make some awesome videos like this too!

Great work. Must be ace to be able to explore a procedurally generated landscape in a helicopter.

I'll be writing a blog about the water rendering, it's actually not that complicated, just amounts of tweaking :rolleyes:
