This project was originally designed to provide an open-source replacement for PPJoy. The product, at this point, consists of virtual joystick devices that is seen by the system as a standard joystick but its position-data is written to it by a feeder application. An existing feeder application that takes advantage of this product is SmartPropoPlus. If you are an application writer you can very easily write an application that controls a joystick (e.g. mouse-to-joystick, keyboard-to-joystick). If you are a beginner in device drivers you can take this code and enhance it to support more (or less) axes, buttons or POVs.

OpenRadar is a standalone radar screen which connects to the FlightGear multiplayer servers. Coastlines, lakes, airfield layouts and airspaces are being read from shapefiles. It supports Multiplayer Chat and multiple FGCom frequencies.

...Additionally, it comes with an embedded realistic FMS capable of calculating expected enroute time (considering realistic climb/descend), required fuel to load, top of climb/ descend distance, time and waypoint. The FMS continuously monitors your position and leverages X-Plane voice to brief you regarding the flight plan status, position report and delays from scheduled and expected time. Even without a supported joystick, both the FMS and a virtual MFD are made available.

This software allows FlightGear (http://www.flighgear.org ) users to display their plane position and other navigational data on a moving map from the openstreetmap ( http://www.openstreetmap.org ) project.

This software is a functional sample of a tool which allows retrieval off data from the FlightGear flight simulator into Matlab and evaluation of the position of the airplane with regards to the terrain and its surface characteristics which are used to determine a safe place for landing and plan a safe path for landing. The tool allows for guidance along the planned path to the closest safe landing place. The planner is ilustrated at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPH_eeze5sg .

OpenEFB is an Electronic FlightBag software for virtual pilots using FSX, FS2004 or X-Plane. It is meant to be used as a device for displaying charts, manuals and as a moving map, like an EFB in the real environment.

Platform independent graphical Java frontend for running FlightGear Flight Simulator. JFlightWizard provides FlightGear command line options, easy routes planning and displays current aircraft position, downloaded sceneries, navigation and airport data.
