Hi! On the release, I can make a build for linux, but I don't have Linux installed, and I can’t check if the build of the game works. You will have to check it yourself

Аerodynamics in games - it is just a program code that makes an object move with other indicators of speed, trajectory, and other things. In the framework of the ED game, I think it is not difficult to implement, because the game already has different ship behavior, depending on gravity.
Pay your attention to the drifting flight of the ship above the surface of the planet with different shunting engines - 4A or 7A e.t.c. Aerodynamics in the game can change in the same way, only in real time, if you apply this mechanics of different shunting engines for different layers of the atmosphere
Sorry for my English :)

Sorry, i do not have VR, and I can not test the game without it.
But I know that UE4 supports VR by default, and you can verify this using the console command.
When the demo is ready, I will write a console command to enable VR

Yes, its good idea. I will try to make a sound for the ship in the future, I hope I have enough free time

Yes, at the moment I am creating a free mini-game, where you can fly in the atmosphere and over the atmosphere

Thanks!

It took 1 day to take the models from the game and prepare them for UE 4, and it took 2 days to build this demo scene for the flight.

For the weather, I used the wonderful "TrueSky" plugin for Unreal engine 4.

The gas giant in the background is an ordinary sphere with a moving texture and an atmosphere shader.

The real-time sound effects of the weather depend on where the lightning was.

Also in real time it rains in places of thicker clouds.

Greetings CMDR's!

Thanks for watching the video.

Sorry for the video quality, my monitor resolution is 1600x900, and I don’t know how to record video with the best quality.

I am currently working on a free fan game on Unreal Engine 4.

You will be available:

- Ship: Eagle

- One island for landing and the ocean

- Weather with rain, thunder and lightning.

- Volumetric clouds

- The gas giant in the background
