i'm having a very hard time producing realistic physics for a flight sim. i was wondering if i could get any pointers on a good way of doing it. it uses ww1 style aircraft.

thankyou.

I recently made a flightsimulator for school.
You can find it here:

(You will prbably have to try the link a few times, because of exceeded bandwidth)

So I know something about flight physics. What exactly do you need to know?

It's hard to fly without them.

cool sim. i need help on mostly all of the aircraft physics, ie lift, turning, thrust. with my code the plane handles wierd, it just feels wrong. i read through the code of the updated version but it is hard to understand.

Maybe you can send me some code so I can try it out.
Flight physics aren't very easy. But maybe if you send me a demo I can play with, I could try to implement my code into yours.
