Open Source BSD Flight Simulator Software

Founded in 1997, FlightGear is developed by a worldwide group of volunteers, brought together by a shared ambition to create the most realistic flight simulator possible that is free to use, modify and distribute. FlightGear is used all over the world by desktop flight simulator enthusiasts, for research in universities and for interactive exhibits in museums. FlightGear features more than 400 aircraft, a worldwide scenery database, a multi-player environment, detailed sky modelling, a flexible and open aircraft modelling system, varied networking options, multiple display support, a powerful scripting language and an open architecture. Best of all, being open-source, the simulator is owned by the community and everyone is encouraged to contribute.

ATC-pie is an air traffic control simulation program. It features solo, multi-player and teacher-student sessions, rendering 3D views of airports through FlightGear. It is essentially designed for realism, and simulates real-life ATC tasks and equipment such as strip racks and sequence management, handovers to/from neighbouring controllers, flight plans, primary & secondary radars, RDF, CPDLC, ATIS recording...

A very lightweight advanced terrain-rendering and 3D map rendering system. Minimal dependencies: OpenGL, SDL. It's distrib in 2-3 separate modules: 1. the C++ implementation of the terrain- and/or surface- rendering Algorithms I have developed: both a multithread and a non-multithread variant is relaeased. 2. Seme as at point 1. , but with a road-network rendering and collision-detection module I wrote before. It also adds some trees at the top of the terrain. (multitread vesion not released yet) 3. Seme as point 2.. Multithread terrain-rendering, roads on it, and vehicles to go around. The most important part is terrain-rendering. The Algorithm at the heart of it features my first and second theorem abut polygonal surface approximation. It took something like 2 years to develop it. It's technically a view-dependent, continuous dynamic level-of-detail rendering algorithm. Main features are simplicity and documentation. Does easily a 4k x 4k terrain, but also much more.

GaugeBook displays Gauges of your FSX (with SP2 or Acceleration) and gives you control over a lot of Settings. Change Frequencies, QNH, etc with a few mouse clicks. It's still beta but the new G1000 is a blast. Runs smooth on any notebook.

Fly around 3-D terrain in various types of aircraft, finding and rescuing people in distress.

Naev is a 2D space trading and combat game, in a similar vein to Escape Velocity.

open-source flight simulator, for RC-models and real aircraft, with a special orientation towards gliders. OpenSceneGraph based full 3D renderer.

QuteScoop is a platform-independent status indicator for VATSIM. It's available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Visit its new development location https://github.com/qutescoop/qutescoop for current downloads and source code.

This is the Textron Bell412 helicopter for the Flightgear flight simulator. This rotorcraft is designed in order to provide the most realistic flight experience to player, including design and behaviour. This project is updated every 1 to 6 months with major improvments. Keep updated and happy Flightgear. My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmxlWKtFn19wYVe2DYU9XCw/videos v0.9.1- r54 released Feb/2018 : * FDM: updated. Better IT. * MODEL: new texture & model updated * BOMBABLE: WIP (weapons ready) * MISC: 3rd Party COPYRIGHT Included and 3rd party data clearly detailed. ===> see CHANGELOG.

a little and 'mininalist' 3D Flight simulator, accompanied also by a dydactical example that illustrates the concept behind flight simulators. FlightCraft3D anyway goes a lot beyond: is physically realistic, and allowes landing everywhere. It aims at becoming a game focused on casual landing, among trees, rocks and buildings and so on. VID:http://youtu.be/_Af0PgrCTxo It shall be a sort of Minecraft-focused-on-aeromobilism. Simply implemented, but with many interesting features. I plan to do also a non-GL version that displays whole 3D gfx with a procedure at whose end pixels are displayed with SDL, asciiart, of native Linux X11 graphics of native Win graphics. Ofc ourse OpenGL is very useful for displaying nice trees... . it's a single sourcefile program. USAGE: in any Linux/UNIX system (es.Ubuntu) download the zip and place it in your home directory; extract the zip. open a Terminal and navigate int the folder of the game;type this: "make";press ENTER; double-click the a.out

fly earth chung is a free 3D flight / car / shoot simulator using google earth geplugin, javascript and freebasic. Explore the world in plane,car or feet. Include a freebasic exe application for sound/joystick interface and web launcher. WARNING: due to google earth plugin deprecation this should no more work from december 12 2015 http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.fr/2014/12/announcing-deprecation-of-google-earth.html

The Kelpie Flight Planner for Flightgear. This Java based Gui flight planner uses the airport and navaid databases of the Flightgear, allowing the user to search for airports and navigation aids and plan flights between them. [Note: Requires Java 1.10 or above] This program is no longer being actively developed or supported. All future work is being undertaken on a port to Rust/Gtk at https://github.com/shartrec/kelpie-flight-planner. But is still in the very early stages.

Flight Gear Cconnector translates and distributes data from Flight Gear freeware simulator to other protocols and softwares. It is mainly used with an embedded system simulator that allows fast development of aerospace glass cocpits.

A rough, 3D extreme flight simulator in which there's a large terrain on which one can land: as the terrain-rendering is advanced and thus terrain is large, detailed and well visible, one can do wild flights in valleys, one can experiment with landing in any casual point of a wild, colorful area including mountous, hilly and flatty areas as well. The flightmodel is primitive here, but acceptable. I will try to do a second release in which the JSBSim module will be used to provide a more realistic flight-simulation so that the wildness of a free flight and landing is more impressive. This is not a typical flight simulator, but a simulator which explicitly tries to offer a complementary experience: don't care about navigation, too realistic control and usage of the instrument-panel... but just fly a plane in a wild, open environment. NOTE: the name of the zip files corresponding to the 2 variants of the program, is "map_system_v2_wvehicles" and not "flightcraft_the_return".

A wrapper for the Aerowinx 744 Precision Simulator (http://aerowinx.com, also known as "PS1", a DOS flight sim) that executes the sim without emulators, and extends its functionality with advanced audio, input device and network capabilities.
