Air to air combat sandbox, created in Python 3 using the HARFANG 3D 2 framework.

The game features :

• VR (on any SteamVR compatible headset)
• Ocean / terrain shader
• Skydome shader
• Clouds
• Autopilot (Take-off, landing, fight)
• Network mode

The source code and the graphics assets are made available for studying purpose. However, you are free to fork this repository, extend the game or release anything that is based on it.

1. Download the most recent release (dogfight-sandbox-hg2-win64.7z)
2. Unzip it
3. run start.bat

   • Press space if you want to control the aircraft using the keyboard
   • Press the start button of the gamepad or the joystick depending on the device you want to use
   • If you press the start/fire button on the gamepad, the Sandbox will automatically define this controler as the input device of the aircraft (see Aircraft keyboard Commands below for the details of the keyboard inputs)

(If you want to run the sandbox from the cloned repository, you will need to copy the Python and HARFANG binaries as well as the other modules in the bin folder). Follow the instructions detailled in the readme files found in each folder.

• VR works on Windows machines only, using the DirectX backend (set "OpenGL": false in the config.json file)
• All the views are available in VR (exterior, interior). When using the cockpit view (3 on the numpad), press F11 to calibrate the position of the head
