Reminds me of this amazing (for the time) book which taught me a ton about the topic when I was in my first year at uni learning c++

True. There was another book called "Build your own Flight Sim in C++" by Michael Radtke and Christopher Lampton, but I personally like "Flights of Fantasy" better.

This was a wonderful book, it really helped lift the veil on how more complicated things were written in code for me. Also, I remember I was at the mall with my uncle and he offered to buy me a gift. I went straight to the bookstore and picked out this book. He was surprised that I picked out a book on programming, and rewarded me with some extra cash after purchasing the book.

The same author has another book from around the same time called "Gardens of Imagination" which explains how to write a Wolfenstein 3d-style raycaster. I can highly recommend that book as well.

#9One of the citations is brihernandez/SimpleWings; Hernandez is better known as indie dev Why485, creator of Tiny Combat Arena, a throwback flight sim to the A-10 Cuba era. (Of course the reborn MicroProse picked it up.) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1347550/Tiny_Combat_Arena...
Why's GitHub repo is full of useful things for game devs, especially Unity but also C++. https://github.com/brihernandez/Ergo is maybe most relevant to this post for being a C++ implementation of a basic 3D space shooter engine built on raylib.

> YSFlight
I'm aware of YSFlight (used it since 2015), but it has a lot of issues and repo does not include whole commits history (it was opensourced year ago as a snapshot of latest version code base with few commits on top of it), so might be not a good example of simple flight simulator.
Physics of YSFlight described in community fork repo.[0]
Till YSFlight became open-source, its physics was a "black box" and there was a research on reverse engineering its physics using game data logs.[1]
Also, there is another fork with few fixes & enhancements, including in its flight simulator physics engine.[2]
