FlightGear - Flight Simulator
FlightGear Flight Simulator: free open-source multiplatform flight sim
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
X-Plane plugin that displays a tablet to aid VR usage
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. -

JSBSim
An open source flight dynamics & control software library
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. -

Linux Air Combat
Combat Flight Simulator for LINUX. WW2. Network and VOIP. Open-source.
WW2 Combat Flight Simulator. Free. Current Version: 9.93. 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 -

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.

Cambridge Rocketry Simulator
Simulate high power rocket flights with splash down plots
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.

DACPEI
Conceptual design of Light Fixed Wing Aircraft
DACPEI is a WYSIWUG Software for Conceptual design of Light Fixed Wing aircraft. It is specifically designed to be intuitive and easy to use by engineering students (not necessary aerospace/aeronautics). DACPEI is divided in 9 modules, for analyzing mission profile, Aircraft performance, propulsion and layout design, as well as sketch component for developing aircraft drawings. DACPEI enable users to export their design to the FlightGear flight simulator software, enabling the designer to "test-drive" their designs while they are on the drawing board. Designers will get an immediate feel for the performance and handling qualities of their designs in less than 7 minutes. -
