Not sure if this is the right place to put this post but perhaps someone can point me to the right direction.
I’m trying to figure it out if FlightGear can be converted or modded into a real time strategic naval war game like Jane’s Fleet Command. I was and I am, a real fan of that game (still playing it on my Windows 7 64 bits) but surfing and searching the web for a replacement got me that there is no game like this. Fleet command is a 10 years old game, wrote by the times of 3dfx cards, graphics engine is very old and not moddable or scalable at all. I was looking into Flightgear very long, but the game I dream on is a quite different. There would be no cockpits but there need to be missiles, ships, aircraft carriers,etc.
I will be downloading the source an see if I can get the basic Flightgear running and then try to figure out if can be modified.
I need to represent something like this:
- 1) 2d tactical window, representing a map area where all my units are, with a NTDS symbols
2) 3d window, showing the unit selected
3) 2 or 3 more areas in the screen to represent selected unit with basic info and weapons load, speed,etc
Regards.
