Ursina Airplane Simulator

Overview

This is a simple 3D airplane simulation built with the Ursina Engine. It allows players to control an airplane in a limited 3D environment with basic physics, camera zoom, and HUD indicators for speed, altitude, roll, vertical speed, and compass direction.

Features

• 3D Map: Loaded from a GLB model (assets/map/object.glb) with invisible walls to prevent leaving the play area.

• Controllable Airplane: Loaded from a GLB model (assets/airplane/object.glb) with smooth forward motion, roll, pitch, and yaw.

• Camera: Third-person view that follows the plane, adjustable zoom with Q and E.

• HUD: Displays real-time speed, altitude, vertical speed, compass, roll, and game status.

• Physics: Basic gravity, lift, collision response, and acceleration/deceleration.

• Controls:

  • W - Increase speed / Start game
  • S - Decrease speed
  • A - Yaw left
  • D - Yaw right
  • Q - Zoom out
  • E - Zoom in
  • R - Ascend
  • T - Descend
  • Z - Roll left
  • X - Roll right

Installation

1. Install Python 3.10+.
2. Install required libraries:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the simulator with:

python main.py

The game starts paused. Press W to start controlling the airplane.

Notes

• The simulation currently has invisible walls to prevent the airplane from leaving the map.
• Collisions with walls or ground will affect speed, vertical speed, and rotation randomly to simulate impact.
• Camera zoom is limited between -10 and -200 units.
