Unity Developer - Flight System for Game

I'd like to have someone re-code the 3D flight system of our Unity game. Upon agreement, I will provide a sample Unity project with existing assets to work from and the existing flight system as reference. Our Unity version is Unity Pro 4.3.4. Platform is PC.

This is not a realistic flight simulator, but a multiplayer flight game with simple controls. Though we will take advantage of some physics and also have an advanced control mode.

Description

Camera viewport is 3rd person. It is positioned behind the player's plane. As the player thrusts, turns, rises or dives, the camera should behave as if it is attached to the plane with a spring. It is not fixed but rather smoothly follows the plane as it moves. There should be a very slight camera shake at all times to make the flight experience more realistic or 'movie-like' but not to a point where it annoys. This shake shall increase with steep climbs or dives or hard maneuvers.

Two different control modes should be developed, Simple and Advanced.

Simple control

Moving the mouse left/right, tilts the plane in either direction and performs turns without rotating the camera's Z axis. The degree of roll (and speed of turn) depends on how far the mouse point is from the center. Camera follows but has some elasticity. As the plane turns, it feels like it is slightly pushed to the opposite side of the screen.

Moving the mouse up/down, allows for full loops while also rotating the camera's X axis.

Advanced control

The difference from simple control is that when performing a roll, the plane is rotated without actually turning. A change in pitch is then required in order to make turns. Also, the camera's Z axis gets rotated in advanced control.

In addition, Yaw is available in advanced control by using the keyboard.

Additional Features

- Holding a key and moving the mouse performs a camera orbit around the plane.

- The plane shall lose speed while climbing, and gain speed while diving.

- Throttle adjustment via the keyboard. Acceleration: When accelerating the plane distance from the camera increases up to a point. Releasing the throttle causes the plane to move back to the default position.

Deceleration: When decelerating, the plane distance from the camera decreases slightly. Releasing the brakes causes the plane to move back to the default position.

- Pitch, roll, yaw, camera, elasticity, etc. settings should be customizable from the Editor.

Upon successful completion of this project, there will be a second phase to re-code the weapon system, shooting, targeting, etc.
