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.

...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. ...

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...

OpenEagle provides interfacing to Flightgear to create a synthetic view of the flight using a Garmin G5 EFIS, and other instruments to display the flight at 10hz. The system also includes tools to make and use browser based moving maps from the FAA sectional "tif" files free to download. OpenEagle replaces NAV, and FIX databases in Flightgear with current FAA data. FAA Special rules airspace such as Class B,C, and D, and MOA's et al are displayed in the synthetic view using translucent boundaries in the scene. See the intro video sample of the special flight rule area over the Grand Canyon.

Addons for Orbiter space flight simulator (Freeware). Mainly tools such as MFDs (MultiFunctional Displays) and plugins, which sometimes use complicated math

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 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.

Orbiter is a realistic space flight simulator created by Doctor Martin Schweiger, last release in 2010. The final goal of the project is to create an handy addon maker for Orbiter that can be used by everyone. There already existes small creation tools, but nothing in order to make full addons Orbiter space simulator : http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/
