Most 3D Sniper Games are too simple, you just shoot straight to the target... reality is not like that. In this realistic simulation you can customize the cartridges, the bullets, the firearms, and select your favourite range. All relevant information about weapons and ammunitions are procedurally generated, so it's also possible to change almost any property. This game includes a good enough approximation of internal ballistics, it has a great external ballistics simulation, and it's about to feature terminal ballistics (destruction, ricochets, barrier penetration, and softbody penetration). The most important physics factors are modeled into this realistic sniper range game: gravity, drag (G7 Ballistic Coefficient), spindrift, and wind. It features realistic Scopes configurations: Elevation, Zoom with appropriately scaled reticles, and Windage. There's also an in-game and easy-to-use ballistic calculator to make it possible to make one-shot/one-hits under wild weather conditions. This game was contrasted with JBM Ballistics giving great results.

About

Thumb Pilot

You're flying a plane through an endless sky. Clouds are everywhere. A clock is counting down. Your only job — fly as far as you can. Drag your thumb to dodge clouds. Every hit drains your clock. When time runs out, one more cloud ends your flight. Grab clocks to keep going. Catch a tailwind and watch the world blur past — but the clouds come faster too. Hit a headwind and slow down, buying yourself room to breathe. When things get desperate, call in Air Support. The Electra swoops in and shields you from everything for seven seconds. Use it wisely — you only get one per flight. Scan the skies with Weather Radar. It sweeps a beam across your path, clears the clouds, and buys you precious time. Every power-up matters when you're going for a global HIGH SCORE. BUFFALO BUCKS Coins drop mid-flight. Catch them. Every Buffalo Buck has a serial number and gets recorded on your personal coin ledger. Spend them in the Hangar on exclusive aircraft skin, each one individually minted and tracked. Trade skins with other players on the Used Aircraft Store. It's a real economy inside a flight game. DAILY CHALLENGES Three new challenges every day. Complete enough in a month and unlock a limited-edition aircraft skin that can never be earned again. CLIMB THE BOARDS Global leaderboards across multiple categories — all-time, 24-hour, 1-hour, and per-aircraft. Trophies are awarded to the best pilots. Your ranking updates live after every flight. FLY YOUR WAY Multiple aircraft with different sprites and feels — DC-3, 737, CL-215, DC-4, and more. Equip custom skins from the Hangar and make every flight yours. Built by Mikey McBryan from Buffalo Airways in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. No ads. No real-money purchases. Just fly. How far can you go?
