Connaissez-vous?
Est-il performant?

Bonjour !
A priori un logiciel "libre" a toute ma sympathie.
Je l'ai installé et lancé.
Il est très basique , comparé à FS2004 dont je suis un gros utilisateur.
Je n'ai hélas pas été convaincu.

Merci caledo pour cet essai, je trouve FS un peu trop "compliqué" pour moi...du coup peut-être que celui-ci pourrait me convenir!!!

Fais gaffe Lazio, il y a des gens ici qui n'apprécient pas les doublons Rcoco et jumpseat.

Perso, ça ne ma dérange pas et c'est avec plaisir que je transmets la même réponse (pour ceux qui ne vont pas sur Rcoco) :

FlightGear

FlightGear is an open-source flight simulator and 3d flight visualizer. It includes several powerful flight dynamics engines which can model a wide variety of aircraft and helicopters. In addition it offers a very flexible and powerful aircraft and 3d cockpit animation and modeling system. It includes a full featured C-like scripting language, and has a variety of I/O capabilities.

FlightGear's scenery and terrain system covers the entire globe and is based on SRTM terrain data, DAFIF airport data, and VMAP0 land cover, road, and water data.

Along with being a full fledged stand alone simulator, FlightGear can be used as a visualization tool for replaying real flight data, matlab/simulink simulations, and many other sources of live or recorded flight data.

X-Plane

X-Plane is a flight simulator that reads in the geometric shape of any aircraft and then figures out how that aircraft will fly. It does this via an engineering process called "blade element theory", which involves breaking the aircraft down into many small elements and then finding the forces on each little element many times per second. These forces are then converted into accelerations, which are then integrated to velocities and positions. This gives X-Plane the most realistic flight model available for personal computers.

JSBSim Flight Dynamics Model

JSBSim is an object-oriented (C++), multi-platform, 6-DOF, Flight Dynamics Model (FDM). It can be run as a standalone, batch-mode flight simulator (no graphical displays), or integrated with FlightGear or other flight simulator.

IFT

IFT is a small flight simulator written for the purpose of training pilots not experienced in instrument flight. It includes a couple of VOR and NDB stations and displays. These can be used to exercise basic radio navigation skills.

It's made and tested on GNU/Linux, but it should work on all Unices, since all it uses is the X11 library.
