Autopilot - Getting our A10 up and flying.
In our efforts to bring more realism to our work we recently programmed a flight simulator in Cinema 4d (our primary 3d program). People these days are much more aware of how an aircraft should fly, from flight simulators / films etc.
We spent over a month perfecting the system, now we can fill in the technical info of any aircraft and it will perform within it limits of the plane. Even the control surfaces are automated according to the flight path.
The attached clip is just a basic flight test taking out our A10 Thunderbolt, it’s a little on the boring side but does show off what we’ve been doing. A more dynamic test will be done when some spare time arrives.
