A downloadable Flight Simulator

Finally, after around 3 months' work (December 2023 to March 2024), I finally have completed it, the first ever version of the TiFS. The TiFS, the Texas Instruments Flight Simulator for the Texas Instruments Ti-84 Plus C lineup of Ti-84 Plus Calculators with coloured screens.

ONLY WORKS WITH COLOURED SCREENS.

CONTROLS:
- For controlling the plane's pitch and bank, you can use, well, obviously the Arrow Keys on the Ti-84 Plus CE or any other Ti-84 Plus Model.
- For controlling the yaw of the plane, you can use the MODE button and the DEL button.
- If at any point the altitude is off, you can change the altitude offset by using the X,T,θ,n button or the APPS button.
- For controlling the speed of the plane, you can use the STAT button and the PRGM button.
- To toggle between Flight Deck View and External View, you can use the F1 button on the top left.
- To toggle the landing gear for planes that can retract the landing gear, you can use the VARS button.

Install instructions

The game, as of now, is in an unfinished state, as there will be updates pushed out periodically.

The ZIP File contains:
- TiFS' Main Menu
- TiFS' End Menu (when you crash the plane)
- A folder containing all Plane Models, titled as "Plane Models"

To start, unzip and extract the .ZIP File. Next, open up TiConnect CE and connect your Ti-84 Plus C Silver Edition, Ti-84 Plus CE, or any other Ti-84 Plus C branded calculator with a colour screen. You could try out a TiNSpire but I haven't tried that out yet. Next, you're going to want to import both the Main Menu File, End Menu File, and select the plane models you want to import into your calculator.

The plane models take up quite some space however, about 7 to 9 kilobytes per file, so be careful and free up some space if you want the plane models. If you select a plane that you don't have imported into your Ti-84 Plus CE Calculator from the TiFS Main Menu, it will give you an error.

To run the Flight Simulator, run the file titled TIFSV1.
