Canvas Knights - Casual WWI Flight Sim?

[Staggerwing]

Nice work!

Does the game engine allow you to switch vehicles in-sim? If so you would be able to model scout fighter- carrying Zeps such as the USS Macon. It would require some kind of way to drop and later reattach the scouts to the extendible skyhook ("the Trapeze") used on those ships.

Only in the off line game using the mod exe.

No, if that was possible I would had done a USS Macon for VSF a long time ago.

Not bad :)

Is there a campaign mode or are there only missions?

[Deutschmark]

The game is only mission based.

Here is a Subchaser WIP being done by Kostas.

Does the current Canvas Knights sim allow for importing ships and ground vehicles that can be player controlled? Does it model seaplanes while on the water surface?

Hi Staggerwing,

( Does the current Canvas Knights sim allow for importing ships and ground vehicles that can be player controlled? )

Yes all vehicles are player controlled!  :)

( Does it model seaplanes while on the water surface? )

It sure does!  :) even with the water sounds.

Cool.  :)

Sorry to pester you with so many questions but can real-world topographical info be imported for terrain building?

[Deutschmark]

Hi Staggerwing,

That's the only way you can build a map in CK is with real world topographical and mesh data, this game / game engine is only one of 3 that I know of the other two are MSFSX and X Plane that you can use a world map, but the differences with this game is that you can use just one map at a time or you can download the full world map then just add to it any map that a modder makes and when you get to that part of the world that map and all that is in it will show.

Here is the download for the world map;

Anything for VSF applies to CK other then the warring part and damage model of CK.

Update!

The instruments are in and working.


The pilot and gunner are now in and the engine rocker arms and gun are now working with animations.



The hit boxes are done and the game just takes all the parts and throws them everywhere
till I get the damage CFG done to govern the game engine on what to do with the parts.


And up up and away we go!  :)



Left to do;
Damage 3D model.
Damage CFG.
Damage texture.
A few skins.
