The ACM Flight Simulator
Hotfoot display camouflage:

This internet page updated: 2021-03-26 (Debian kit accessible)

Lightweight flight simulator accessible here for fetch. Aspects
(most up-to-date changes in boldface):

  • Readily accessible sceneries, with PDF navigation charts:
    Europe sceneries generated from the ourairports.com database
    (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United
    Kingdom
    ),
    USA sceneries generated from the FAA database (Boston region, Dallas region,
    Las Vegas region, Los Angeles region, Smooth York region, San
    Francisco region, Tucson region).
  • Launch source, largely GNU GPL or public arena license.
  • Easiest C source code with slight TCL launcher interface.
  • Runs on Linux and Windows.
  • Very slight CPU and memory footprint; doesn’t require in actuality knowledgeable hardware.
  • Simulated atmosphere: ellipsoidal Earth (WGS-84 mannequin), magnetic
    arena calculation (NOAA WMM mannequin)
    , Sun ephemeris allow to
    calculate the Sun region and fashioned scene illumination, fashioned
    atmosphere, wind and gusts, clouds.
  • Aircraft fashions: several accessible, each civil and navy, 6 degrees of
    freedom, bicycle or tricycle landing instruments, aerodynamics simulation;
    vitality-plant: propeller piston engine, jet engine with afterburner, rocket,
    glider.
  • Instrumentation: magnetic compass, classic panel (perspective indicator, airspeed
    indicator, altitude indicator, flip and accelerate indicator, climb velocity
    indicator), HSI and RNAV calculator, ADF, head-up display camouflage, autopilot, insist
    stick alter or fee stick alter.
  • Weapon systems: radar, radar warning receiver, missiles, cannon, fall bombs;
    robotic opponents will be generated for ACM ideas practising.
  • Multiplayer functionality thru the fashioned DIS community protocol; up to 31
    distant avid gamers supported.
  • Sound outcomes.
  • Extensible sceneries for several areas of the arena, with navigation charts
    including airports, NDB, VOR, ILS.
  • Allow to utilize the departure date and time (Sun lights
    and Earth magnetic arena are calculated accordingly), airport and
    runway
    ; permits to glide freely around the globe (sceneries are
    now dynamically loaded, where accessible).
  • Chart program to generate navigation charts from the sceneries above.

Castorino ACM DIS protocol relay server accessible!

A DIS protocol relay server is in the marketplace at castorino.icosaedro.it port 3000.
The default exercise is 1, another exercise number will be living and shared amongst the
contributors to a simulation.

  • LATEST CHANGES

    A detailed itemizing of the total contemporary changes.

  • acm-6.0_20200416-windows.zip
    (1265 KB)
    Executable program for Windows x86_32 and x86_64
    (this latter in compatibility mode). Windows users could perhaps well composed fetch
    this kit. It comprises all you comprise gotten to comprise this system,
    including sceneries, navigation charts and reference e book. Highly
    advisable the tcl/tk interpreter in train to comprise the at hand ACM
    launcher interface
    , I counsel that from Magicsplat.

  • acm-6.0_20200416.tar.gz (1536 KB)
    Supply code kit, largely C language, 32-bits and 64-bits compliant
    for Linux and Windows. Linux users must fetch this one; no
    binary kit accessible for them, but no anxiety: no need for titillating
    libraries or special configurations, the fashioned gcc compiler and
    fashioned console instruments are only stunning! Windows users could perhaps well glean compiling
    these sources reasonably extra annoying because the set up of the MinGW system pattern kit is furthermore
    required.

  • Sources repository
    CVS repository for essentially the most up-to-date changes (notice the CHANGES.txt file). Nameless CVS earn entry to
    furthermore accessible, notice CVS.

  • Debian kit
    for Debian 11 (bullseye). This kit is per this initiating,
    with minor fixes to take a examine essentially the most up-to-date GCC C compiler necessities
    and file paths modified to take a examine the Debian file system format.
    Documentation, user e book and navigation charts are at the moment composed NOT
    incorporated in the Debian kit, though – I’m hoping this could perhaps well even be mounted soon.

  • Reference Manual
    A comprehensive records to the total ingredients of this system, including the
    description of the total accessible instruments, a typical flight tutorial,
    weapon systems, outline new aircraft and new sceneries. Incorporated
    in the total applications above.

  • ACM Components Tracking Machine
    Sequence of known bugs, ingredients and related discussions about the ACM challenge.

Re: Departure Time Bug
I comprise remark sorry for being so impatient. I used to be as soon as very titillating about acm and slight errors by no methodology stopped displaying up until this one. I will now answer each level : 1. I am on a linux debian machine, x64, with it appears to be like essentially the most tranquil model of gcc. I on the opposite hand comprise no longer know from now on predominant functions, so you must perhaps well wish to specific which one when you would prefer to comprise some. 2. I did no longer specified any parameter with my compiler. Upright typed “compose” and let it dawdle. 3. It is miles pretty contemporary, as I most titillating tried 2017 and 2018 dates. 4. I can no longer, as it chooses “now” as default, it brings this error up : ACM-6.0_20180402 inner error in zulu.c: 101: timestamp underflow for three hundred and sixty five days 0. Aborted 5.

Departure Time Bug
Howdie, I at closing managed to set up acm, but I composed cannot initiating it. Regardless of the departure time it will get, this could perhaps well throw me an error. When I utilize “now” : Underflow for three hundred and sixty five days 0 (The program it appears to be like doesn’t earn the date upright) When I utilize a e book date : 2017-10-09T09: 00 is what I variety in. ACM-6.0_20180402: invalid departure date and time ‘2017-10-09T09: 00’. Right here’s quite frustating indeed. I cannot wait to glance your response. [more…]

I cannot even configure ACM for compose on openSuSE 11.1
When I strive and ./configure ACM out of the inventory I earn this error message: “configure: error: Hmm. Your system doesn’t strengthen either random() or rand().” Right here’s no longer correct as SuSE Linux has random(). Now I did an autoconf and ran ./configure again thus getting: “./configure: line 6047: syntax error: unexpected cessation of file” which appears to be like to be a consequence of an uncomplete generated configure script. I am unable to repair anything else in the configure script or configure.in template. So, is there any aid for that?
