įlightGear reached 1.0 in 2007, 2.0 in 2010, and there were 9 major releases under 2.x and 3.x labels, with the final one under the previous numbering scheme being "3.4", since "3.6" was cancelled. By 1999 FlightGear had replaced LaRCsim with JSBSim built to the sims' needs, and in 2015 NASA used JSBSim alongside 6 other space industry standards to create a measuring stick to judge future space industry simulation code. The first working binaries using OpenGL came out in 1997.

FlightGear incorporated other open-source resources, including the LaRCsim flight dynamics engine from NASA, and freely available elevation data. Development of an OpenGL based version was spearheaded by Curtis Olson starting in 1997.

The flight simulator was created using custom 3D graphics code. He was dissatisfied with proprietary, available, simulators like the Microsoft Flight Simulator, citing motivations of companies not aligning with the simulators' players ("simmers"), and proposed a new flight simulator developed by volunteers over the Internet.

Its flight dynamics engine ( JSBSim) is used in a 2015 NASA benchmark to judge new simulation code to the standards of the space industry.įlightGear started as an online proposal in 1996 by David Murr, living in the United States. It has specific builds for a variety of operating systems including Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, IRIX, and Solaris.įlightGear is an atmospheric and orbital flight simulator used in aerospace research and industry. The project had its first release in 1997 and continued in development. ĭavid Murr started the project on April 8, 1996.

Scenery tiles are paged (loaded/unloaded) in a separate thread to minimize the frame rate hit when you need to load new areas.FlightGear Flight Simulator (often shortened to FlightGear or FGFS) is a free, open source multi-platform flight simulator developed by the FlightGear project since 1997.

This allows for realistic night VFR flying with the ability to spot towns and cities and follow roads.

Nice scenery night lighting with ground lighting concentrated in urban areas (based on real maps) and headlights visible on major highways.

Scenery includes all vmap0 lakes, rivers, roads, railroads, cities, towns, land cover, etc.

Accurate terrain worldwide, based on the most recently released SRTM terrain data.) 3 arc second resolution (about 90m post spacing) for North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.

(I'm not sure that's a feature or a problem!) But it means we have pretty detailed coverage of the entire world.

Directional airport lighting that smoothly changes intensity as your relative view direction changes.

Sloping runways (runways change elevation like they usually do in real life.).

Taxiways available for many larger airports (even including the green center line lights when appropriate.).

Correct runway markings and placement, correct runway and approach lighting.

Over 20,000 real world airports included in the full scenery set.

There are many exciting possibilities for an open, free flight sim. We are developing a sophisticated, open simulation framework that can be expanded and improved upon by anyone interested in contributing. The goal of the FlightGear project is to create a sophisticated and open flight simulator framework for use in research or academic environments, pilot training, as an industry engineering tool, for DIY-ers to pursue their favorite interesting flight simulation idea, and last but certainly not least as a fun, realistic, and challenging desktop flight simulator.
