Hi

While surfing yesterday I found a video showing x-plane on the IPhone

X-plane on the IPhone

As Pandora is so powerful...we got to able to do something similar!!


There is an open source flight sim out there. I don't know if it is any good, I not tried it.

FlightGear Fligh Simulator

It can't be a straight forward port. But could it be a place to start from?

I played one from sourceforge, graphics were okay but controls weren't very good with keyboard.
flight-gear is an amazing flight-simulator, but it's far away from being an easy-accessible game! Controls are are pretty complicated over keyboard, but with proper usage of Pandora's gaming controls, that shouldn't be an issue.

Has anyone contacted the x-plane guys yet? I see a good chance, they will release something for the Pandora, having most dependencies already in stock.

ACM should be a very interesting air-combat for the pandy.

Fachoda Complex is probably the easiest to port OS flight-sim, as it doesn't depend on 3d-engines without oGL ES-support, like plib.

Just to complete the list:
There are GL-117, Flying Guns , RedShift and T&L, not to mention all those OS helicoper- and space-sims.

That's nothing, I've got banks on my gp2x :)


So, think you can port it? ;)


Not to the Pandora, I'm not getting one in the foreseeable future.

If someone wants to do it should be straight forward. I didn't have to change the code, I just made a little program to send X key events. The Pandora's got a keyboard, so it should just run.
