FlightGear Flight Simulator.
See http://www.flightgear.org/
Installation
Debian/Ubuntu
The standard Debian/Ubuntu repositories contain FlightGear 2.4 or 2.6.
Flightgear 2.8 was available from getdeb.net (now discontinued, you can still use the mirrors). In this example for Ubuntu 12.04 precise, replace the codename as appropriate:
Add the key:
wget -q -O - http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/getdeb/ubuntu/dists/precise-getdeb/Release.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Add to your /etc/apt.sources.list:
deb http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/getdeb/ubuntu precise-getdeb games deb-src http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/getdeb/ubuntu precise-getdeb games
Install flightgear:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install flightgear
Using FlightGear for Vizualization
For Flight Gear visualization of the simulation, version 2.6 or greater is best. If you wish to use version 2.4 or lower, you must add the following to the firmware section of your airframe file:
| File: conf/airframes/myplane.xml |
<firmware name="fixedwing or rotorcraft">
...
<define name="FG_2_4" value="1"/>
...
</firmware>
|
If you want a view of a quadrotor in flightgear, make a link from
/usr/share/games/flightgear/Models/Aircraft/paparazzi to PAPARAZZI_SRC/conf/simulator/flightgear/
sudo ln -s $PAPARAZZI_SRC/conf/simulator/flightgear/ /usr/share/games/flightgear/Models/Aircraft/paparazzi
- Launch Flight Gear with the following command:
fgfs --fdm=null --native-gui=socket,in,30,,5501,udp
or to e.g. use the mikrokopter quadrotor model:
fgfs --fdm=null --native-gui=socket,in,30,,5501,udp --prop:/sim/model/path=Models/Aircraft/paparazzi/mikrokopter.xml
