Open Source Flight Simulator Software

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.

ATC-pie is an air traffic control simulation program. It features solo, multi-player and teacher-student sessions, rendering 3D views of airports through FlightGear. It is essentially designed for realism, and simulates real-life ATC tasks and equipment such as strip racks and sequence management, handovers to/from neighbouring controllers, flight plans, primary & secondary radars, RDF, CPDLC, ATIS recording...

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.

Air Traffic Controller simulator with voice support. It manages ground operations, take off, approach, ILS, landing procedures, flight levels and CTR transitions. For full description please see the Wiki page or README.md in the code page. You can also watch videos at https://www.youtube.com/c/RedGriffin For help and support, please refer to https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=36755

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.

Palomino was an unfinished action/combat flight simulator. Air-to-air combat mode was never implemented. However, it does have a land-on-carrier and shoot-SAMs missions. Requires OpenSceneGraph. Optional: SDL, FLTK.

Naev is a 2D space trading and combat game, in a similar vein to Escape Velocity.

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.

Better IT. * MODEL: new texture & model updated * BOMBABLE: WIP (weapons ready) * MISC: 3rd Party COPYRIGHT Included and 3rd party data clearly detailed. ===> see CHANGELOG.

An OpenGL CRJ Glass Cockpit Simulator with FSX interface for home cockpit builder

A very lightweight advanced terrain-rendering and 3D map rendering system. Minimal dependencies: OpenGL, SDL. It's distrib in 2-3 separate modules: 1. the C++ implementation of the terrain- and/or surface- rendering Algorithms I have developed: both a multithread and a non-multithread variant is relaeased. 2. Seme as at point 1. , but with a road-network rendering and collision-detection module I wrote before. It also adds some trees at the top of the terrain. (multitread vesion not released yet) 3. Seme as point 2.. Multithread terrain-rendering, roads on it, and vehicles to go around. The most important part is terrain-rendering. The Algorithm at the heart of it features my first and second theorem abut polygonal surface approximation. It took something like 2 years to develop it. It's technically a view-dependent, continuous dynamic level-of-detail rendering algorithm. Main features are simplicity and documentation. Does easily a 4k x 4k terrain, but also much more.

mywebglflight chung is a online 3D webgl flight / car simulator with shaders written in HTML5 and javascript . You can also fly to any place around the world with realtime google static maps earth satellite images , buildings with real lat-lng and monuments. Fly too over africa with horses, zebras, elephants, girafes, antilopes or shoot panzer tanks and have dogfight with war aircrafts or ships.

open-source flight simulator, for RC-models and real aircraft, with a special orientation towards gliders. OpenSceneGraph based full 3D renderer.

This is an addon for the game IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, which adds a fictional version of the F-86 Sabre Jet fighter to this game, the F-86J. The -J has more powerful Orenda Engines and carries Sidewinder missiles as well as other additional ordnance.

Field is a 3D space-combat game, inspired by Asteroids. Players control their ship in space and use its weaponry to destroy asteroids/enemies. Focused on a single-player campaign, but multiplayer is planned. Reminiscent of the Descent series.

FlightGear Controller (fgctrl) is a combination of software and hardware (mostly AVR-based) that let you build a simplified cockpit for controlling aircraft in FlightGear and other flight simulators.
