Holcot 2005 Model Boats

There is a small lake where people show their model warships and other vessels.

Links for a fun flight simulator, called the Clove Central Flyer, made with Game Maker, are at the top of this page - http://www.angelfire.com/nb/offarex/
It's been a lot of fun for me - still is. I hope you enjoy it. Some 3D games are limited in the 3rd dimension but this is true 3D, with pitch and altitude control. Firing is vectored according to pitch and speed.
An improved version of the Flyer is nearly ready for release, with loading of models, video production capability from in-flight screen shots and improved handling. 28/Aug/07

After some checking I was certain that it must have been a false warning and that there is no risk from the Clove Central Flyer. False warnings do happen sometimes.

i don't wanna sound mean or something but when i opened the file for your flight simulatpr thing a few minutes later my anti-virus thing detected a virus called exploit. I'm not sure if it's your game but if it does have a virus in it please take it off youtube.

[andrewburbidge]

Thanks. I'll check that immediately. No one else has made such a comment so perhaps it is your anti-virus software that has found something like a known virus but that isn't the same. I'll check the file. Was it the executable or the editable file? They were both made with Game Maker so there seems to be no risk of infection there.

[andrewburbidge]

I downloaded both files, the executable and the GM6 file. When I unzipped them I found that all the separate files still had a modified date of August or September 2007. I don't think there's anything wrong with them and it seems unlikely that somehow only a zipped file could have been infected without the files it contains being altered. But much is uncertain with viruses. I'll do some more checking but I think your anti-virus software has given a false warning.

why put a link for airplanes when your showing boats?

[andrewburbidge]

Someone should do it and make a video of it for YouTube!

[andrewburbidge]

Someone could add two boats and masks for them and have them controlled using spare keys on the keyboard. Instead of the camera/plane firing, one or both boats could fire cannonballs. Using a mask on the floor of the room to set the height of the cannonball, with gravity to pull it backwards (representing downwards) a battle could be run, and filmed using the plane.

Game Maker could be used for modeling, without making a game of it. My flight simulator could be converted to a lake with boats on it and in the Game Maker forums someone put an example showing how you can give the appearance of water. Then, the effect of a wake could be added behind a boat - the possibilities go on and on.

That's my own flight simulator and I wanted to let people know about it. It's fun and it's editable if you would like to know about 3D game production using Game Maker.
