Commercial simulators are usually a compromise of features and usability. In simple terms it states that you can copy and freely distribute the program s so licensed. Most but fortunately not all of the information herein can also be obtained from the FlightGear web site located at http: More details of the UIUC flight model can be found at http: Are you a real pilot looking to improve your skills without having to take off?

We will be more than happy to include those in future versions of The FlightGear Manual of course not without giving credit to aircravt authors. Besides, the source code contains a directory docs-mini containing numerous ideas on and solutions to special problems. This is where FlightGear looks for Scenery files.
All of the commercial simulators have a serious drawback: Most operating system provide tools to uncompress tarballs. Did you ever fligntgear to fly a plane yourself, but lacked the money or ability to do so?
Given you have a proper compiler installed, FlightGear can be built under all of these platforms. This is based on their observation that people interested in flight simulations run quite a variety of computer hardware and operating systems. If you are using Mac OS X fligbtgear Each piece of scenery is packaged into a compressed archive, or tarball, in a 10 degree by 10 degree chunk.

The GPL is often misunderstood. The typical signal for missing hardware acceleration are frame rate s below 1 frame per second. It is available from http: If the installation via the GUI launcher failure for some reason, you still have an alternative way to install the data. The project is primarily aimed at civilian flight simulation.
With so many commercially available flight simulators, why would we spend thousands of hours of programming and design work to build a free flight simulator?
Once you have uncompressed the tarball, the Terrain and Objects directories will contain additional sub-directories with your new scenery inside. Windows users can expect to need approximately MB of additional disk space for the development environment.
FlightGear can also provide interfaces to full-motion flight chairs. Without doubt, the success of the Linux project, initiated by Linus Torvalds, inspired several of aorcraft developers.

Are you a real pilot looking to improve your skills without having to take off? In reality the result is always a compromise due to deadlines and funding. The points mentioned above form the basis of why we created FlightGear.
The FlightGear base package contains scenery for a small area around San Francisco, so to fly elsewhere you will need to download additional scenery. To download them go to http: The aircraft are downloaded as. You may be able to run FlightGear on a computer that features a 3D aurcraft card not supporting hardware accelerated OpenGL — and even on systems aorcraft 3D graphics hardware at all.
Due to its flexible design, FlightGear supports a wide range of joysticks and yokes as well as rudder pedals under Linux and Windows. Commercial simulators are usually a compromise of features and usability. Most commercial developers want to be able to serve a broad segment of the population, including serious pilots, beginners, and even casual gamers.
Anyone who has ever tried to contact a commercial developer would agree that getting your voice heard in that environment is a major challenge. You can download flithtgear from a clickable map here: Or do you just want to have fun with a more serious game without any violence?

As this had several limitations most importantly, many characteristics were hard wired in contrast to using configuration filesthere were several attempts to flightgaer or include alternative flightmodels. Well, there are many reasons, but here are the major ones: This does not include the development environment, which will vary in size depending on the operating system and environment being used.
Acceptable formats for the scenery data are one of zip, tar.
