Learning how to create a flight simulator

Question

Hello!

If I want to learn how to build a flight simulator, what are best books to start with?

Thanks

Dmitri

Answer 1

I think your question needs to be much more specific, but a quick google check yeilds quite a few books like this one: (using C++)
http://www.amazon.com/Build-Your-Own-Flight-Sim/dp/1571690220

Other notes: And If you are interested, in just tinkering around with 3D programming google some 3D engines like Ogre or OpenGL and try playing around with them a bit. That is where I started.

Just start to learn some language, if you are good enough you can code a flight simulator with it. There are no modern "How to code a flight simulator in 21 days" or "Flight simulator coding for dummies" books out there.

A good point to start at would be learning basic c++. There are special books on c++ dealing with game developement, just pick one and start learning.

Edit: omg, there are books like that, but they seem to be quite outdated...
