Open Source C++ Flight Simulator Software

This project was originally designed to provide an open-source replacement for PPJoy. The product, at this point, consists of virtual joystick devices that is seen by the system as a standard joystick but its position-data is written to it by a feeder application. An existing feeder application that takes advantage of this product is SmartPropoPlus. If you are an application writer you can very easily write an application that controls a joystick (e.g. mouse-to-joystick, keyboard-to-joystick). If you are a beginner in device drivers you can take this code and enhance it to support more (or less) axes, buttons or POVs.

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.

AviTab is a plugin for the X-Plane flight simulator. It displays a tablet-like computer with a few apps in the cockpit. It is mainly used for flying in virtual reality. When flying in a simulator, one often needs to look up details in PDF charts, plane manuals, checklists or other documents. Using a PDF reader breaks the immersion because the virtual aviator either has to take off of their HMD or use other tools that can move windows into VR. AviTab tries to solve this problem by offering a PDF reader inside a native plugin for X-Plane. Using a plugin also opens possibilities for more apps inside the tablet, for example, to display information about the plane status or aid in navigation. When hovering over the edges of the tablet from a short distance, X-Plane will display green bars around the tablet. The upper bar can be used to grab the window and move it around inside the cockpit.

SmartPropoPlus - Turning your R/C transmitter into a Flight Simulator Joystick

WW2 Combat Flight Simulator. Free. Current Version: 9.88. This is now the world's leading open-source combat flight sim for LINUX. Linux Air Combat ("LAC") runs on almost any desktop LINUX system (even Steam Deck & Raspberry Pi) and generates smooth, high-performance flight. If it runs TOO fast on your hardware (framerates beyond 100 FPS), you should activate LAC's built-in FrameRate Limiter as documented here: https://askmisterwizard.com/2019/LinuxAirCombat/FrameRateLimiter.htm Clean, open source code provides an option to compile yourself, or use our precompiled executable AppImage to eliminate compiling on all popular X86 LINUX distros. Control flight and views with mouse and keyboard, console game controller, or joystick, all easily configured from prominent configuration menus. Learn all about LAC from our primary, official Web Page: http://askmisterwizard.com/2019/LinuxAirCombat/LacOnlineDocs.htm Recent video clip: https://youtu.be/C77C-e8axWs

Vega Strike is a 3d OpenGL Action Space Sim for Win/Lin/Mac allowing players to trade, bounty hunt, or explore in a vast universe. Active development is now on https://github.com/vegastrike and on http://www.vega-strike.org Vega Strike is mod ready and network playable.

JSBSim is a multi-platform, general purpose object-oriented Flight Dynamics Model (FDM) written in C++. The FDM is essentially the physics & math model that defines the movement of an aircraft, rocket, etc., under the forces and moments applied to it using the various control mechanisms and from the forces of nature. JSBSim can be run in a standalone batch mode flight simulator (no graphical displays a.k.a. console mode) for testing and study, or integrated with the Unreal engine, FlightGear and many other simulation environments.

Project Apollo - NASSP (also known as NASSP or NCPP) is an add-on for the Orbiter space flight simulator. Project Apollo simulates the Apollo missions to Earth orbit and the Moon and the planned post-Apollo missions that never flew.

FlightGear Mac OS X is a Mac version of FlightGear, a multi-platform open-source flight simulator that provides very realistic flight experience on your computer. By installing a package you can fly around the world in the comfort of your own home.

It parses the game files (original or modified) and extract useful information displayed through an advanced traderoute calculator. (see features below) It is useful : * For Traders: It helps players find quickly the best profitable and shortest routes, showing them on the map with precise timing * For Modders: Mod-creators (patching & enhancing the original game) can use it to analyze their game files. The tool will notify them any errors encountered during the analysis so they can fix the problems. Also it can help modders balance their trade routes so that there is no over-profitable routes.

Atlas aims to provide high quality maps of the world for use in FlightGear, an open source flight simulator.

vasFMC is a Open-Source project, which develops an Airbus Flight Managment Computer. Previous version were developed by VAS Project group, but they stopped development in November 2011. This is the follow-on project based on the last open source version 2.09A.

SpaceCombat is a space simulation game, like TIE Fighter or Decent Freespace. You can fly different space ships in several missions. Missions are connected to campaigns. It's a single player game. No multiplayer mode planned.

This software allows you perform six degree of freedom simulations of High Power Rocket (HPR) and model rocket flights. Parachute descent is also simulated. 3D flight trajectories are produced as well as detailed tabular flight data. Running in Monte Carlo mode allows generates multiple possible flight paths and splash down plots, indicating the probability of landing in an area.

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.

FighterPilot is a combat flight simulator in which players fly a fourth generation jet aircraft on a series of missions to eliminate enemy targets. As the pilot of a Dassault Mirage 2000, players face a range of enemies from hostile aircraft to ground based defenses. And thanks to arcade style controls, you can be flying in minutes! The single player mode takes you through a seven level campaign, challenging you with the task of eliminating a series of increasingly difficult adversaries. In multiplayer mode, a split screen view allows two players to play together on a single computer. Players can either compete against each other, or they can work cooperatively to complete levels of the campaign. Finally, a built in level editor lets you create your own custom levels.

FGSD is an interactive scenery designer/builder for the FlightGear (http://www.flightgear.org/) flight simulator project.

OpenEFB is an Electronic FlightBag software for virtual pilots using FSX, FS2004 or X-Plane. It is meant to be used as a device for displaying charts, manuals and as a moving map, like an EFB in the real environment.

This multi-platform X-Plane plugin provides enhanced controls for the flight simulator. It supports Saitek x52 and x52 Pro joysticks allowing to customize additional data pages on the Multi-Functional Display (MFD) with up to four configurable buttons. Additionally, it comes with an embedded realistic FMS capable of calculating expected enroute time (considering realistic climb/descend), required fuel to load, top of climb/ descend distance, time and waypoint. The FMS continuously monitors your position and leverages X-Plane voice to brief you regarding the flight plan status, position report and delays from scheduled and expected time. Even without a supported joystick, both the FMS and a virtual MFD are made available.
