I have used Flightgear on windows and it's pretty sophisticated.

Try FlightGear yourself - I think you will find it a very fun and complete simulation package. Overall, I found the simulation very accurate and think the graphics are great. You can calibrate your joystick using an option in the File menu at the top. To "fly" my Cessna, I used a Logitech joystick that worked well. The Add-ons menu allows you to download aircraft and additional scenery. You must have a moderately fast internet connection to support this functionality. Also in Settings, you can select multi-player mode, which allows you to "fly" with other players on FlightGear supporters' global network of servers that allow for multiple users. Settings provides an option to start the simulation in Paused mode by default. The simulation includes advance weather modeling and the ability to download current weather from NOAA. Under Environment, you can adjust the time of day, the season, and the weather. I found some small, local, non-towered airports like Olean and Dunkirk, New York, as well as larger airports including Buffalo, O'Hare, and Raleigh-and could even choose a specific runway. The default airport is Honolulu, but you can change it in the Location menu by providing your favorite airport's ICAO airport code identifier. The menu on the left side of the application window provides configuration options. Once the installation finished, I launched it from the GUI, but you can also launch the application from a terminal by entering: $ fgfs Configuring FlightGear

On Ubuntu 18.04, I had to install a repository: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:saiarcot895/flightgear Fedora users can consult the Fedora installation page to get FlightGear running.

It's easy to install on both Fedora and Ubuntu Linux. Its documentation includes an online manual a wiki with portals for users and developers and extensive tutorials (such as one for its default aircraft, the Cessna 172p) to teach you how to operate it. It runs well on my Linux laptop with an i5 processor and only 4GB of RAM. Getting startedįlightGear's hardware requirements are fairly modest, including an accelerated 3D video card that supports OpenGL for smooth framerates. Its goal was to create a sophisticated, robust, extensible, and open flight simulator framework for use in academia and pilot training or by anyone who wants to play with a flight simulation scenario. The FlightGear project began in 1996 due to dissatisfaction with commercial flight simulation programs, which were not scalable. It's a full-featured, open source flight simulator that runs on Linux, MacOS, and Windows. Pete Sadrozinski for overhauling much of TerraGear, FlightGear's Scenery toolchail.If you've ever dreamed of piloting a plane, you'll love FlightGear. Markus Metz for enabling GRASS GIS to process huge vectors Special thanks deserve, in alphabetical as well as chronological order: The release was brought to you by, among others, in some mysterious order: The latest airports (2013.10), maintained by Robin Peel of X-Plane ViewFinderPanoramas elevation model by Jonathan de Ferranti This FlightGear World Scenery was compiled from: Once the complete build is uploaded it will also be available for download via The completed build is currently transferred to the terrasync servers and will appear there over the next couple of days. Although there are currently still a number of known issues with the scenery, the overall flying experience is significantly improved, and the team aims to provide patches for these issues in the near future. A much higher level of detail and internal consistency characterizes this new release, in addition to the fact that it will serve as a stepping-stone for further incremental refinements. This new scenery reflects a major improvement over the existing default world scenery and has taken over five years to complete. The FlightGear world scenery development team is happy to announce the release of the FlightGear world scenery, version 2.0, today.
