Development status/Issues/Todo

FDM

  • Currently only the winged phase of a flight is modeled. Landing (with parachute) and jump (folded wings) are yet to be developed.
  • Jet engines are close to, but not releastic yet.

3D Model

  • The model is basically finished; details (like belts and better helmet) will be added later on.
  • Parachute is not modeled yet.
