The same also applies to aircraft carriers, where the taxi paths are described in such a way as to allow unlimited possibilities (I know someone is already planning to launch their Vipers from the Battlestar Galactica). We have made sure to include details like opening and extending hangars and even oddities like the vertical elevators on the Moskva-class Helicopter Cruiser.
Takeoff is another situation where the normal flight model does not apply. Seapower supports, at present, 5 different types of takeoff: Normal, Catapult, Skijump, VTOL, and Helicopters. Each of these methods has its own system that allows us to provide realistic looking behaviour without risking the flight model getting horribly confused and smashing all of your shiny F-14s into a thousand tiny pieces.
These unique states exist throughout the flight control system and allow the aircraft to behave in a manner that is appropriate to the moment that they are in.

State Machines

A moment ago I referred to something called “states” this leads us to a really important concept for Seapower, and lots of games in general! This is the “Finite State Machine”. A State Machine is a way of creating a system that transitions through behaviour in a repeatable and reliable way when certain conditions are satisfied.

FSMs are used throughout Seapower to drive systems across a range from torpedo homing to aircraft landing, they are an incredible tool, if you want to learn more I recommend this video: Unity Bots with State Machines - Extensible State Machine / FSM - YouTube

Conclusion

At this point my ramblings have hit about 7 pages in Word so I think I better stop and get back to coding. We are really looking forward to getting this game to everyone who is out there waiting for it. We really can't wait for you to see the effort and dedication that has gone into this across the last few years.
