✈️ 3D Sunset Airplane Simulation

A relaxing, low-poly 3D flight simulation built using C++ and OpenGL (FreeGLUT). Fly through a volumetric cloud system under a cinematic sunset with a smooth color gradient and starfield.

🌅 Features

• Physics-based Flight: Realistic takeoff pitch and landing descent.
• Cinematic Sky: A multi-layered sunset gradient that transitions from orange to midnight blue.
• Infinite World: The runway, environment, and cloud systems are generated infinitely as you fly.
• Atmospheric Details: Flickering runway lights, a glowing setting sun, and a high-altitude starfield.

🎮 Controls

• [T] - Takeoff: Hold to accelerate and climb into the sky.
• [L] - Landing: Press to begin your descent and flare for a smooth touchdown.
• [ESC] - Exit: Close the simulation.
