Flight Simulator with AI

[Dj Tech42]

7.5 Beta is here!
-Separate best times for each difficulty
-Clicking on "best times" on menu shows you all your best times for each difficulty. (Not a table yet, but it shows all your best times)
-Some new UI elements from zero00 integrated

To be fixed in final version:
-Moving certain menu objects so they don't overlap
-Make a table for best times

See how it works. If there any major bugs, please tell me. Not all of the UI elements are in yet because the transparency isn't importing correctly. Alice replaces the transparency with black.

Try adding an opacity map. Make what you want visible white, and what invisible to be black. Of course, grayscale makes it partially invisible. Diffuse maps were never meant to carry alpha.

The UI looks fine to me. The transparency works fine as well.

The only times when this happened to me was when the computer I used had too little memory or the renderer was set to "JOGL".

That's why. I have it set to JOGL all the time because the only other renderer is Java3D, which doesn't even support isShowing (everything is always showing in Java3D). I don't have DirectX since I don't use Windows. Everything, except for the transparency, works in JOGL, so I will try Mr. Kidnapper's opacity map suggestion.

EDIT: It didn't work, unfortunately. I really thought it would, but it didn't for some strange reason.

If anybody has had errors come up when they run 7.0, look at my first post. It explains how to change the path where the files are loaded and saved.

7.5 adds:
-Best time for each difficulty
-Best time window to see your all of your best times from the menu
-New UI elements

In 8.0, the game will save the files internally, so you don't have to worry about where you want to save the files!

In the meantime, we should post times!

My best time for normal is 9 seconds.

8.0 Beta 1!
-Internal saving (no need to worry about file paths anymore)
-Support for Linux
-Holding 4 locks steering
-Holding 5 disables mouse control temporarily
-Pressing H will hide the HUD (was previously assigned to 4)

If you are testing this beta, make sure the internal saving is working correctly and warn me if the mouse control lags in this version. As usual, report any bugs you find.

I made some minor fixes to the game
-The Settings Windows was showing in the game, so it was blocking some of the buttons. I set it to Not Showing
-Updated the Title with "Dj Tech42 Flight Simulator 8.0 Beta"
-Set the throttle meter...thing (it looks this >----< ) emissive color to "No color". I didn't do the same for the rest of the HUD

Other than that, the game's looks amazing. I love the internal saving You'll need to show how me you did that!

Suggestions
Have you ever thought about adding:
-Having different profiles (different settings for different users)
-An arcade style high score board (3 letter initials and the like, similar to this)

Sorry, I haven't been on the forums as much!

Download the changed version here!
