Mousse-Avion Part One

La semaine dernière, Shark et moi avons pris notre revanche sur la météo. Notre première tentative de vol ayant coulé(c) à cause d'un brouillard, nous décidé de retenter de partir voler !

Cette fois la météo était de notre coté, il a fait beau malgré la visi assez faible en direction du sud ouest, qui ne nous pas empeché d'apprécier le vol !
Nous avons été à Coulomiers faire un toucher, et ensuite nous sommes repartis en direction du terrain de Fontenay Trésigny.
Je ne pensais pas qu'on allait s'y poser, mais en passant au dessus, on a remarqué une des caractéristique du terrain : un restaurant dans un vieux bréguet deux ponts (je crois). On a donc été poser les roues dans ce coin perdu, à seulement quelques minutes de vol de Paris...
Le retour s'est passé sans encombres avec en bonus pour Shark, une démonstation en direct live du fonctionement d'un PAPI ;-)

Voici quelques photos du Premier Mousse Vol !

Two weeks ago, after the sun shone on my flight simulated world, I felt like something was still missing … A Lens Flare … well, that’s kind of a trivial thing to implement really, all you need is bunch of textures and a couple vector calculations …

The result achieved by this lens flare thing is really cool, and for those who know me, I couldn’t help but spend some time taking a few screenshots. J





In a period of laziness like the one I’m in now, I thought playing with the parameters of the flight sim would be a great idea… I added some more variables to control the lens flare and had a little fun with them. Here’s what it looks like.






I kinda like this, it really feels like you’re looking right at the sun.
The original ideal behind this was to make the haze that was close to the sunlight appear shinier that the rest, and with this blended quad in front of everything, i think it looks great ! :) To be honest i didn't thinkg it would look that great although I agree that people might argue with that :P
Be advised that you might want to put your shades on before clicking on those pics ...

I've uploaded a series of screenshots on my website here it will save you the trouble of browsing in the unsorted, pain-in-the-ass gallery here.

Happy Landings Everyone !
