They are still being quite drawn to simulators, so when we got positive reception from flight sim community with the engine we decided to lean the development slightly more that way.
Recently, Laco got preliminary Collada loader working, loading a Cessna model. He is also incorporating JSBSim Flight Dynamics Model library into the engine, while Tomas works on the cockpit.
Here are some first screens.
Here are some screens with (now featureless) cockpit, recent Z-buffer development allows to handle the cockpit and terrain without problems.
A look below while grounded.
And some screens from outside.

very very nice! Will you also add some physics there? Plane physics, terrain collision, wind, ...
Hi Dusho :-)
Yeah the JSBSim library handles the plane physics; we are hooking our terrain callbacks to it. The plane is already flying.
