== General Description ==
The '''FlightGear MCP Server''' is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that
provides remote control capabilities for the FlightGear flight simulator
through a standardized interface.

It allows external applications (such as opencode, or any
MCP-compatible client) to interact with '''FlightGear''' via HTTP properties.

== Main Features ==

- Reading flight data (position, velocity, attitude)
- Aircraft surface controls (throttle, ailerons, elevator, rudder)
- Autopilot management
- Radio and navigation equipment control
- Lighting system management
- Camera and view controls
- Helicopter-specific controls (MI-6PS)
- Multiplayer chat
- Environment/time controls

/controls/engines/engine/starter
/rotors/main/rpm
/rotors/main/blade-pitch-deg

== Architecture ==
The server consists of two main files:

- flightgear.py: Contains the FlightGearClient class that handles HTTP
communication with FlightGear

- server.py: Defines MCP tools using the FastMCP framework

Communication is via stdio with the MCP client, while FlightGear
communication uses the HTTP JSON API.

== Know limitations ==
send_key() requires the FlightGear window to be focused
- Nasal execution via telnet requires proper configuration
- Some properties may vary between aircraft

== Usage examples ==

=== Get all flight data ===
get_flight_data()

=== Set up approach ===
set_com1(118.7)
set_nav1(109.5)

== General Description ==
The '''FlightGear MCP Server''' is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that
provides remote control capabilities for the FlightGear flight simulator
through a standardized interface.

It allows external applications (such as Claude Desktop, opencode, or any
MCP-compatible client) to interact with '''FlightGear''' via HTTP properties.

== Main Features ==

- Reading flight data (position, velocity, attitude)
- Aircraft surface controls (throttle, ailerons, elevator, rudder)
- Autopilot management
- Radio and navigation equipment control
- Lighting system management
- Camera and view controls
- Helicopter-specific controls (MI-6PS)
- Multiplayer chat
- Environment/time controls

== Requirements ==
- Python 3.10+
- FlightGear with HTTP server enabled
- An MCP-compatible client (opencode, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, etc.)

== Installation ==
1. Clone or download the repository
2. Create virtual environment:
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies:
pip install -e .

=== Flightgear Configuration ===

F1, F10, Escape

== Properties used ==
The server interacts with FlightGear's property tree via HTTP.

=== Views ===
/sim/current-view/view-number
/sim/current-view/field-of-view
/sim/current-view/pitch-offset-deg
/sim/current-view/heading-offset-deg

=== Controls ===
/controls/engine/throttle
/controls/flight/aileron
/controls/flight/elevator
/controls/flight/rudder
/controls/gear/brake-parking

=== Position ===
/position/latitude-deg
/position/longitude-deg
/position/altitude-ft

=== Autopilot ===
/autopilot/locks/heading
/autopilot/locks/altitude
/autopilot/settings/heading-bug-deg
/autopilot/settings/altitude-ft

=== Radio ===

=== Helicopter ===
/controls/engines/engine/cutoff
/controls/engines/engine/magnetos
/controls/engines/engine/starter
/rotors/main/rpm
/rotors/main/blade-pitch-deg

== Architecture ==
The server consists of two main files:

- flightgear.py: Contains the FlightGearClient class that handles HTTP
communication with FlightGear

- server.py: Defines MCP tools using the FastMCP framework

Communication is via stdio with the MCP client, while FlightGear
communication uses the HTTP JSON API.

== Know limitations ==
send_key() requires the FlightGear window to be focused
- Nasal execution via telnet requires proper configuration
- Some properties may vary between aircraft

== Usage examples ==

# Get all flight data
get_flight_data()

# Set up approach
set_com1(118.7)
set_nav1(109.5)
set_transponder("4500")
set_altitude_target(3000)

# Helicopter control
start_engine()
set_throttle_mi6(0.5)
set_collective(0.3)

# Camera control
set_view("tower")
set_zoom(40)

== Version ==

== ARCHITECTURE ==
The server consists of two main files:

- flightgear.py: Contains the FlightGearClient class that handles HTTP
communication with FlightGear

- server.py: Defines MCP tools using the FastMCP framework

Communication is via stdio with the MCP client, while FlightGear
communication uses the HTTP JSON API.

== KNOWN LIMITATIONS ==
send_key() requires the FlightGear window to be focused
- Nasal execution via telnet requires proper configuration
- Some properties may vary between aircraft

== USAGE EXAMPLES ==

# Get all flight data

=== Julia photoscenery generator GUI ===
==== Photoscenery-GUI ====
[[File:FG-JPS.png|thumb|278px|FG Julia Photoscenery-GUI Design proposal "LIBERA ET TESSELA"]]

A major update has been released for the Photoscenery GUI, introducing significant accessibility enhancements.

The key addition is full Internationalization (i18n) support, which makes the tool more accessible to a global audience. Users can now switch between languages instantly using new flag icons located in the control panel.

What’s New:

Multi-language Support:
The interface now supports multiple languages, including: English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Arabic (with full Right-to-Left layout support), and Russian.

UI Improvements:
A new language switcher with flag icons has been implemented. Layout and font sizes have been optimized for better readability across different languages. Spacing in the control panel has been improved for a cleaner interface.

This update is now available in the main branch on GitHub https://github.com/abassign/Photoscenery-GUI.git. Users are encouraged to test the new features and provide feedback regarding any translation errors or suggestions for additional language support.

For more information, see the discussion on the FG Forum: https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=39066&start=420

=== Re-Introducing the Rain Vector Editor Addon ===
This tool has been around for a while, to reintroduce it there is a short video in the forum link below demonstrating its simple use. Use it to get the exact splash-x, y and z vectors that best look like rain on any specific window. Use that data to code dynamic control over the look of rain on windows and windscreens when introducing wind, prop blast and aircraft velocity through the air.

[[File:aw109ext2.png|400px|thumb|AW109 External shot 1]]Version 1.0 of the AW109 has been released by the team at FGUK.
[[File:109int3.png|thumb|400x400px|AW109 Internal shot]]
[[File:aw109ext1.png|400px|thumb|right|AW109 External View - HEMS configuration]]This initial release includes a new model with latest fuselage and shader effects, a functional cockpit and basic HDR compatibility.

The FDM, in YASim, is entirely bespoke and tuned to give realistic performance across the flight envelope. V3 of the FGUK heli-autopilot is also included (help available via the in sim documentation)

There are various configuration options selectable either manually or via the liveries (15+ included) to cover HEMS, SAR, Law Enforcement, Passenger and Military equipment levels and loadouts, with a functioning winch operator available in configurations with an appropriate winch.

=== Boeing 777 ===
A few people have gathered to collaborate on the Boeing 777. They have taken development to a new [https://gitlab.com/sidi762/flightgear-777 gitlab repository], and will backport stable releases to FGaddon. Currently Jean-Yves Lebleu is improving the LNAV/VNAV implementation on the 777. Naviat is working on a new 3D model that will eventually replace the current 3D model, and Octal450 will be creating a [[JSBSim]] FDE to replace the old YASim.

Isaak has made quite some progress on the hydraulics system that will soon be merged into the stable release. As this is close to finished, below are some pointers of what is possible. Checklists are currently in the working. The hydraulics system operates as close as currently possible to the Boeing 777 FCOM. A few items are still missing because they require a better electric and air system or a fault simulation. They are on a longer term to-do list for when these systems are improved.

These features are implemented:

* There is a new item in the "Aircraft settings" dialog: you can enable realistic hydraulic fluid depletion (due to leaks and wear). This requires the "Store fuel and hydraulic fluid level between sessions" option to be enabled as well. Hydraulic fluid will deplete at a very slow rate, based on which systems and pumps are operating. Isaak will finetune the consumption rate a bit further. The goal is to require a refill of (some) hydraulic fluid every 2 weeks of operation, to add some extra workload to the preflight checks. If a fluid reservoir runs below standpipe level or completely empty, the corresponding pumps will fail and possibly overheat if running without fluid. The hydraulic fluid levels can be checked and refilled via the ground services dialog.
* Hydraulics synoptics screen on the MFD (lower EICAS) is fully functional. It is selectable with the "Hyd" button on the EFIS control panel.
* Hydraulic pumps and valves operate as per FCOM: they require hydraulic fluid in the correct reservoir (at or below standpipe level, depending on the pump), a correct power source...
* If a hydraulic pump or system fails, the corresponding system will fail too: flaps will not extend, brakes might fail if the brake accumulator runs empty as well...
* It has become extremely important to turn on and off the hydraulic pumps in the right order: fluid transfer between the center and right system is implemented (via the brake system) so you can overfill or deplete one of the systems when you enable/disable the right hydraulic pumps at the wrong time. Follow the checklists to prevent this: always turn on the right hydraulic system before powering the others, and only switch it off after the center pumps have been switched off.
* Both the normal and alternate/reserve brake systems are implemented. The brake accumulator can power the brakes if it is pressurized enough. If it pressurizes the parking brake, it will slowly lose pressure over time. After about 10 hours, the parking brake will release (even though the "Parking Brake Set" will remain active on the EICAS display), so for longer times of unpowered parking: use wheel chocks to prevent an unwanted trip with the aircraft. The brake accumulator is powerful enough to bring the aircraft to a complete stop when landing without hydraulic systems.
* The EICAS will throw errors when pumps and/or systems are depressurized

There are some good YouTube videos that can help you understand the Boeing 777 hydraulics systems. Almost all of this is implemented.

* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEoniYv6GOI This series] provides a good basic understanding of normal and non-normal hydraulic systems and procedures.
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_izKDUc-GY This series] provides a deeper insight in the Boeing 777 brake system.

The hydraulics system is currently still in a separate branch, but will be merged into "master" soon.

=== Octal450 Hangar ===
==== Boeing 727 ====
Progress on the new [[Boeing 727]] is continuing, with the virtual cockpit being further 3D modelled and the SP-150 autopilot being developed.

==== McDonnell Douglas MD-11 ====
The [[McDonnell Douglas MD-11]] has gained the tail fuel CG management feature, an overhauled Auto Thrust System, and improved FADEC logic.

There are a bunch of conditions required for tail fuel CG management to activate and a bunch of complex logic that decides exactly what/how it does this, but in summary, it's automatic and doesn't need babysitting. It will transfer the fuel forward when needed or when descending through ~26750 feet.

[[File:MD-11-TFM-Demo.png]]

==== McDonnell Douglas MD-80 ====
The [[McDonnell Douglas MD-80]] now has a new pedestal with all the missing controls modelled. Most of them are already hooked up to the aircraft systems, with exceptions to pressurization control. It also now has wingflex.

[[File:FG-JPS.png|thumb|278px|FG Julia Photoscenery-GUI Design proposal "LIBERA ET TESSELA"]]

== Introduction ==
'''Photoscenery-GUI''' is the modern graphical interface for the Photoscenery tools previously available only as a command-line application.
It provides an interactive map-based workflow for generating photographic scenery for '''FlightGear'''.

The GUI was created to make scenery generation:
* easier
* faster
* visually controlled
* less error‑prone

This version integrates:
* a real-time Leaflet map
* FGFS live aircraft tracking
* preview of tiles
* route-based batch downloading
* job monitoring
* automatic ICAO coordinate resolution

== Why a GUI Version? ==
The original CLI tool forced users to manually enter coordinates, radii, resolutions and overwrite rules.
The GUI solves this with a fully visual workflow.

=== Improvements over CLI ===
* Visual map control
* Colour‑coded resolutions
* Coverage and date filters
* One‑click ICAO resolve
* Live aircraft integration
* Route-based automatic patch generation
* Tile previews and metadata

== System Requirements ==
* Julia 1.10 or newer. Recommended using juliaup, which is the robust official manager and updater for Julia releases.
* Git or Git as Julia module, read the differences below
* Modern browser
* FlightGear (optional, for live tracking)

==== Method 1 Git as a module in Julia ====
You don't need to install git beforehand, since it's already included as a module in Julia. The advantage of this installation is that the package remains protected within the Julia binaries directory, and if you want to have an isolated installation for security reasons, you can easily put it in a docker.

==== Method 2 Git yourself ====
Installation by downloading from git, which requires the prerequisite. In this case, the entire application is visible in any folder we create and allows us to modify the code if necessary, perhaps even using AI tools.

== Installing ==

=== Method 1 - Installing juliaup - Git as a module in Julia ===
<code>juliaup</code> is the recommended way to install Julia. It automatically installs the latest stable <code>julia</code> binary and helps keep it up to date. It also supports installing and using different versions of Julia simultaneously.

https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup

In order to see the Julia's version, open a terminal then run:
<pre>
$ julia --version
</pre>
julia version 1.12.2

==== Create a folder Photoscenary-GUI, running julia inside ====
The name is not important, but it is useful for you as it will contain the various editable files necessary for running the application, including (if necessary) the directories containing the tiles.

Now run Julia inside Photoscenary-GUI folder
<pre>~/Photoscenery-GUI
$ julia
</pre>
You get next screen
<pre>

julia>

</pre>
==== Enter Julia package mode ====
Type the closed square bracket {{Key press|]}}

We are now in package mode, notice the prompt now is pkg>

(@v1.12) pkg>

==== Adding repository ====
<pre>
pkg> add "https://github.com/abassign/Photoscenery-GUI"
</pre>
You will see that Julia starts downloading the entire application and the various modules it requires, then exit with ctrl-d.

{{Key press|Control}} + {{Key press|D}}
<pre>
pkg> ^D
</pre>

==== Summary: Method 1 - Git as a module in Julia ====
You have successfully installed the modern Julia Programming Language interpreter in your FGPC using Juliaup. You have created a folder to host Photoscenery-GUI, entered the Julia package mode, and added the GitHub repository for Photoscenery-GUI. With the last commands, Julia has magically instantiated and precompiled a version for your OS, Git has been managed as a Julia module, after which you exited with Control+D.

The advantage of this installation is that the package remains protected within the Julia binaries directory, and if you want to have an isolated installation for security reasons, you can easily put it in a docker.

Finally, let's see Photoscenery in action.

==== Executing Photoscenary-GUI (Method 1) Git as a module in Julia ====
Run in terminal only for the frist start:
<pre>
julia -e "using Photoscenery; Photoscenery.GuiMode.run()"
</pre>
After the initial launch, the program loads the startup commands go.sh for macOS and Linux and go.bat for Windows locally. From that point on, you only need to run the go command corresponding to your operating system:

Linux e MacOs: '''./go.sh'''

Windows: '''go.bat'''

==== Open in browser ====
Open GUI, open next address with your browser and wait for 3 seconds:
<pre>
http://localhost:8000/
</pre>
You'll see Photoscenery-GUI in action, similar to the picture above, in the info box.

=== Method 2 - Installing juliaup - Git your self ===
<code>juliaup</code> is the recommended way to install Julia. It automatically installs the latest stable <code>julia</code> binary and helps keep it up to date. It also supports installing and using different versions of Julia simultaneously.

==== Download the Photoscenery-GUI project ====
<pre>
https://github.com/abassign/Photoscenery-GUI
</pre>
==== Calling Julia package manager to instantiate the project ====
From the Photoscenery-GUI directory, run in terminal
<pre>
julia --project=. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()'
</pre>

==== Summary: Method 2 Git yourself ====
You have successfully installed the modern Julia Programming Language interpreter in your FGPC using Juliaup. You have downloaded Photoscenery-GUI from Git, you have opened a terminal inside that folder, ordering Julia package manager to instantiate the project.

In this case, the entire application is visible in any folder we create and allows us to modify the code if necessary.

Finally, let's see Photoscenery-GUI in action.

==== Executing Photoscenary-GUI (Method 2) Git your self ====
Run in terminal
<pre>
julia --project=. -e 'using Photoscenery; Photoscenery.GuiMode.run()'
</pre>

==== Open in browser ====
Open GUI, open next address with your browser and wait for 3 seconds:
<pre>
http://localhost:8000/
</pre>
You'll see Photoscenery-GUI in action, similar to the picture above, in the info box.

=== Method 3 - installing from GitHub ===
If you want to use the full application in a directory of your system, you can directly download the entire application from GitHub:
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/abassign/Photoscenery-GUI.git
</pre>
The git command must be available on your system, and Julia must already be installed as described in the first method.
In this case, the application will no longer run as a Julia module, so the startup procedure will be different.

Enter the directory automatically created by Git, then run one of the three possible go.xxx commands found inside it. Before launching the program, the command will download everything required and will configure the essential tmp directory, which is used to store image files needed to build the tiles.

Each time you start the application, the system will check for updates on GitHub and will periodically (about once a week) update the files airports.csv and naviaids.csv.

== Updating Photoscenery-GUI ==
You can update to newer version
<pre>
Julia
using Pkg
Pkg.update()
</pre>
After update press

{{Key press|Control}} + {{Key press|D}}
to exit.
<pre>
^D
</pre>

==== WIP (Work in Progress) Auto-Update Mechanism ====
A new way to launch the application that automatically checks for updates.

When you start the app using these scripts, it will check if a new version is available on GitHub and ask if you want to update. This ensures you're always running the latest version with the newest features and fixes.

Linux/macOS: Run
<pre>
./go.sh
</pre>

Windows: Double-click
<pre>
go.bat
</pre>

Julia: Run
<pre>
julia --project=. go.jl
</pre>

Follow: https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=39066&sid=140c176bfaf360cf28c7f1a25d59b709&start=420

== Basic Usage ==
=== Selecting a location ===
* Enter an ICAO code
* Click on the map
* Import aircraft position from FGFS

=== Configuring a patch ===
Parameters:
* Radius
* Resolution
* Downsampling (--sdwn)
* Overwrite mode (--over)

=== Running a job ===
Press '''Patch Scenery''' to start.
Completed tiles display on the map.

== Route-Based Scenery Creation ==
Drag & drop:
* a GPX flight plan
* or a FlightGear .xml route

The GUI automatically:
# Parses waypoints
# Computes segments
# Creates coverage circles
# Runs jobs in sequence
# Tracks progress

== FlightGear Integration ==
Before running FGFS, enable Telnet by placing the property --telnet=5000 in the additional settings box in FG-launcher. Additionally, in the add-ons section, you must specify the path to the Orthophotos folder in the additional scenery folder section.

This is a WIP (Work in Progress); we still need to test paths and use flows.

* Aircraft position is displayed
* Live heading, altitude, speed shown
* “Download Around Aircraft” available

== Coverage Visualization ==
The GUI supports filtering:
* by resolution
* by date (session/day/week/month/year)
* by opacity

Tiles can display preview images and metadata.

== Directory Settings ==
Output and backup paths can be edited directly from the interface.

== Troubleshooting ==
* Ensure Julia 1.10+ is installed
* Ensure no other service is using port 8000
* Clear browser cache if GUI does not load tiles

==== Photoscenery-GUI ====

[[File:Photoscenery-GUI-20251113-202721.jpg|thumb|Photoscenery-GUI Beta]]

Adriano Bassignana has begun writing the manual for the Photoscenery GUI, which has been published at the following link:
https://wiki.flightgear.org/Julia_photoscenery_generator_GUI
The manual currently contains the essential information for correct installation.

New features in the latest version include:

The tool, which already managed the rational downloading of tiles in various resolutions, now includes additional features accessible via its web interface to increase operational utility. The program's initialization has been modified to enable faster startup.

A new functionality has been introduced to read airports and radio navigation aids from files updated weekly—the same data sources used by FlightGear itself. This resolves the previous issue of airport misalignment between the tool and the simulator.

Route management has been improved. When loading a route for display on the map, the system now simultaneously loads data on local scenery to prevent unnecessary downloads. For users with a fast internet connection, real-time image downloading is possible. A fast, low-resolution preload feature also provides a valid overview of the surrounding area's coverage.

The interface allows users to view radio navigation aids and airports, along with their key information.

The [create route] mode enables users to generate a flight path by clicking on map points, airports, and navigation aids. Created routes can be saved and later imported into FlightGear for use.

Many other features will be documented on the Wiki in the future.

https://github.com/abassign/Photoscenery-GUI.git

For more information, see the discussion on the FG Forum: https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=39066&start=390

==== Photoscenery-CLI ====

For all users of the Julia photoscenery in terminal in its pre-GUI version, it is a pleasure to report that the previously released "beta 5" version of Adriano Bassignana's Julia/Photoscenery (before development began on the GUI version, ver. 6) continues to work well on Flightgear installations in a Windows 10 (and possibly 11) environment. More info. on that may be found under [https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=39066&start=435#p436792 this post] on the FG forum.

=== Framework for Canvas Add-on ===

Roman Ludwicki (PlayeRom on the forum) created a [https://github.com/PlayeRom/flightgear-addon-framework Framework] for creating add-ons based on Canvas dialog boxes. After creating numerous add-ons, he realized he needed to separate the common code base. This led to the creation of a separate Framework project that could be attached to any add-on. The framework includes the following features:

# Automatic recognition and loading of add-on Nasal files into the appropriate namespaces (with an exclusion list if necessary).
# Ability to add a menu for restarting add-on Nasal files without having to change repository files.
# Ability to define keys for the multi-key command to restart add-on Nasal files without having to change repository files.
# A mechanism for checking whether there is a new version of your add-on to inform users about it.
# Base classes for Canvas windows that are created and destroyed on demand (Transient dialog), as well as created once during simulator startup (Persistent dialog).
# Ability to create Nasal unit tests and run them using multi-key command.

An example project using the Framework is the [https://github.com/PlayeRom/flightgear-addon-canvas-skeleton Canvas Skeleton] project, which can be used as a basis for creating a new add-on.

You can also see how his other add-ons are written, all based on the Framework (main branches):

# [https://github.com/PlayeRom/flightgear-addon-logbook Logbook]
# [https://github.com/PlayeRom/flightgear-addon-which-runway Which Runway]
# [https://github.com/PlayeRom/flightgear-addon-nasal-namespace-browser Nasal Namespace Browser]
# [https://github.com/PlayeRom/flightgear-addon-menu-aggregator Add-on Menu Aggregator]

=== Add-ons Menu Aggregator ===

Roman Ludwicki has created a new "[https://github.com/PlayeRom/flightgear-addon-menu-aggregator Add-ons Menu Aggregator]" add-on. The "Add-ons Menu Aggregator" add-on solves the problem of increasing menu clutter in FlightGear, which occurs after installing multiple add-ons. Each add-on can add its own items to the main menu, causing it to become very large and, at low resolutions, extend beyond the screen. This makes it difficult for users to find functions related to specific add-ons, and the menu itself becomes unreadable.

The "Add-ons Menu Aggregator" automatically aggregates menu entries from all installed add-ons and places them into one common menu item – "Add-ons." Each add-on receives its own submenu here, containing its original items while maintaining full functionality and layout.

==== Laminar 13 Hang Glider for FlightGear ====

===== Flight Test & Personal Tweaks by VonS =====
Having recently become interested in gliding and soaring in FG, VonS thought to go a (simpler) step further and merely strapped a wing to themselves (or themselves to a wing). That of course was also a good opportunity to harmonize further a few of the control inputs on the Laminar 13 for their rig/setup, as well as (subtly) to modify some of the weight shifts, drag and lift values, etc. Representative clip below for those who enjoy hang gliders, both real ones and in the world of FG.

{{#ev:youtube|tHQqhl3Sf5w|||Laminar 13 Hang Glider for FlightGear. Flight Test & Tweaks by Vons |frame}}

If you're interested in seeing the flight test results and accessing the latest tweaks, visit the FG forum page at: https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=42893&start=45#p436600

===== Additional Tweaks Information =====

FlightGear users interested in these custom tweaks may also want to check the recent gliders updates (October and November 2025) for the [https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=43713&start=105#p435385 ASK 13 tweaks] and [https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=43713&start=105#p436217 ASG 29 tweaks]

Review the posts carefully before downloading. Many of these adjustments, including lift, drag, and control harmonization values, were later applied to the Laminar hang glider as subtle improvements.

These tweaks were tested in FG 2020.3.19 and should be compatible with current versions. All mentioned gliders use JSBSim flight dynamics models (FDM).

For YASim-based tweaks by VonS, please contact him directly via PM on the FG forum, as most were not publicly released. Some exceptions are included in recent updates to Emmanuel Baranger's aircraft at the "Helijah FG Hangar."

Links to various modifications can be found at the bottom of the contributor's forum posts [https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=43735 "Von S Various Mods"]. For a broader overview, see the VonS Various Mods thread in "Hangar Talk."

VonS began FDM tweaking in the mid-2010s, focusing on early 1900s and WWI aircraft, and has contributed significantly to FlightGear's open-source flexibility. For early aviation examples, see [https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=43872&start=15 the Sopwith Camel thread (November 2025)] which also includes detailed technical posts by S&J, Lester-Boffo, Alant, and himself.

That of course was also a good opportunity to harmonize further a few of the control inputs on the Laminar 13 for their rig/setup, as well as (subtly) to modify some of the weight shifts, drag and lift values, etc. Representative clip below for those who enjoy hang gliders, both real ones and in the world of FG.

If you're interested in seeing the flight test results and accessing the latest tweaks, visit the FG forum page at: https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=42893&start=45#p436600

===== Additional Tweaks Information =====

FlightGear users interested in these custom tweaks may also want to check the recent gliders updates (October and November 2025) for the [https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=43713&start=105#p435385 ASK 13 tweaks] and [https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=43713&start=105#p436217 ASG 29 tweaks]

Review the posts carefully before downloading. Many of these adjustments, including lift, drag, and control harmonization values, were later applied to the Laminar hang glider as subtle improvements.

These tweaks were tested in FG 2020.3.19 and should be compatible with current versions. All mentioned gliders use JSBSim flight dynamics models (FDM).

For YASim-based tweaks by VonS, please contact him directly via PM on the FG forum, as most were not publicly released. Some exceptions are included in recent updates to Emmanuel Baranger's aircraft at the "Helijah FG Hangar."

Links to various modifications can be found at the bottom of the contributor's forum posts [https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=43735 "Von S Various Mods"]. For a broader overview, see the VonS Various Mods thread in "Hangar Talk."

VonS began FDM tweaking in the mid-2010s, focusing on early 1900s and WWI aircraft, and has contributed significantly to FlightGear's open-source flexibility. For early aviation examples, see [https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=43872&start=15 the Sopwith Camel thread (November 2025)] which also includes detailed technical posts by S&J, Lester-Boffo, Alant, and himself.
