This software provides users with a free, customizable flight simulator experience. Its features are expandable to allow for an extensive and tailored simulation experience.
Aviation is a free flight simulator game that strikes a balance between realistic and simple simulation experiences. It achieves this through a non-linear flight model, configurable atmosphere and sky model, and the use of a CLOD triangulation engine for terrain. These features are enabled by Techne, the platform that Aviation is built on.
Currently, Aviation allows players to explore an area of approximately 600 square kilometers centered around the Columbia River. However, future updates are expected to bring exciting additions, including combat and air race scenarios. The developer welcomes any help in improving the game's features, but currently focuses most of their attention on the development of Techne.
In terms of hardware, you will need a GPU with decent OpenGL support to run Aviation. The GPU should also support GLSL shaders, framebuffer objects, and vertex buffer objects, extensions that are even supported by cheaper and older GPUs. However, there is a plain-GL codepath available for those whose GPUs do not support these extensions.
To install Aviation, you must first have Techne installed on your computer. The game also requires the Lua 5.1 compiler. Overall, Aviation offers a unique and engaging flight simulation experience that transports players to the skies around the Columbia River.
