Wanna build and paint your own airplane from scratch and fly it with a real flight simulator? You can now, thanks to Redbull, Less Rain and our friend PaperDude.
The guys at Less Rain have been very busy in the last months, have put tons of love and care in the site and it shows. Everything is extremely well done and optimized.
The simulator was done exclusively with Papervision3D 1.5.
Flight Lab gives you the real thing: It’s a 6DOF (degrees of freedom) flight simulator modelled by a physics engine in 3D using rigid body dynamics. Real airplane wings can be described by specific lift and drag coefficients, depending on how quickly and from which angle the air flows over a wing section. That’s what Flight Lab does.
If you’re interested in more details, they have an article about the whole development process here.
Congratulations for the FWA Site Of The Month!

I simply love this app. Clean and clear interaction, amazing creation tool and very clean use of PV. i wish I could fly the plane a little better though.
