This module allows FlightGear to connect to an externally running swift client.
swift is an open-source pilot client for multiple flight simulators (FSX, P3D, FS9, XPlane, FG) and operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux). It allows connections to FSD servers like VATSIM. Further information about swift can be found here.
swift project status
swift is actively developed here and is in public beta status.
Current features
The key features include:
- aircraft interpolation
- voice communication with ATC, support for new VATSIM codec planned
- model matching
- Database support for model mappings, users can contribute
- TCAS support
Compatibility
For communication between Flightgear and swift dbus is used. To assure that both sides using the same commands for communication the FGSWIFTBUS_API_VERSION must match each other. Otherwise connection is not possible.
For compatibility see following table:
swift/Flightgear | <2019.2 | next |
---|---|---|
<=0.9.3 | -/- | -/- |
develop | 1/- | 1/- |
<swift/flightgear>
Aircraft mapping (swift mapping tool)
For correct aircraft loading and parsing into swift you need to add FGs model directories. The supported folders are:
- FGDATA/AI/Aircraft
- Any other folder which contains user-flyable airplanes (in seperate folders).
Note for Windows users
Starting with swift 0.9.1 swift automatically adds the sim and model paths if Flightgear was installed through the installer.
