The '''Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ)''' is a passenger jet aircraft seating 70-96 passengers to be manufactured by Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation. It would be the first airliner Japan has designed and produced domestically since the NAMC YS-11 of the 1960s.

The MRJ will be the launch platform for Pratt & Whitney's PW1000G Geared Turbofan engine. The aircraft was initially expected to be the first regional jet aircraft to adopt carbon fiber composite materials for its airframe on a significant scale. However, in a design turn-around in September, 2009, Mitsubishi announced that it would use aluminium for its wing box instead of composite material. Carbon composite parts will now make up only 10-15% of the aircraft, mostly around the tail section.　This change brought increase in the cabin height by 1.5in (3.81cm) to 80.5in, and fuselage height increase to 116.5in. This gave the MRJ a rounder cabin, which is wider and higher than its competing aircraft manufactured by Bombardier and Embraer.

All Nippon Airways is the first customer, with an order for 15 MRJ 90s, and an option for 10 more. Trans States Holdings, owner of Trans States Airlines which operates United Express and US Airways Express, is the first international customer with an firm order of 50 jets, plus an option for 50 more.

'''Princess Juliana International Airport''' (IATA: '''SXM''', ICAO: '''TNCM''') serves the [[Dutch]] part of the island of Saint Martin. It is the second busiest airport in the Eastern Caribbean, after Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is named after Juliana of the Netherlands, who was crown princess when the airport opened.

== Runway ==
The airport is famous for its short runway — at only 2,180 metres (7,200 ft), it is barely long enough for heavy jets to land. Therefore, incoming airplanes approaching the island on short final for Runway 10 have to fly extremely low, passing only 10-20 meters (30-60 ft.) over relaxing tourists on Maho Beach.

==Scenery==
Princess Juliana Airport is available from the [[FlightGear Scenery Database|scenemodels database]], located on tile w070n10.

The prototype of the '''Boeing 737-300''' rolled out of the Renton plant on 17 January 1984, and first flew on 24 February 1984. After it received its flight certification on 14 November 1984, USAir received the first aircraft on 28 November. A very popular aircraft, Boeing received 252 orders for it in 1985, and over 1000 throughout its production. The 300 series remained in production until 1999 when the last aircraft was delivered to Air New Zealand on December 17, 1999.

The 737-300 has been a part of [[FlightGear]] for several years, and was included in the default installation of [[FlightGear 0.9.10 aircraft|FG 0.9.10]], but requires downloading for most installations in FG v1.0.0 (see [[FlightGear 1.0 default aircraft]]). It is one of the more well developed airliners for FG, with multiple liveries and significant help text.

===Liveries===
The 737-300 is FlightGears' most repainted airplane. At the moment more than 25 liveries are available. 23 of them are included in one package, making use of the [[livery selection dialog]], which transmits liveries over the [[Howto: Multiplayer|multiplayer network]].

{{cleanup}}
Includes [[GPL license]]d [[aircraft]] & [[vehicle]]s for [[FlightGear]]. For the most part it currently excludes third-party [[FlightGear hangars|hangars]] that are not on CVS, non-free, or Creative Commons licensed items. The list is updated to aircraft that work with [[FlightGear 1.0.0|1.0.0]], however some that only work with the latest CVS builds are also here(some CVS aircraft may work anyway on V1, but with missing features). Stale/abandoned models from FG development are not listed or are struck out. Be aware when installing any aircraft of the compatibility differences between [[FlightGear 0.9.10 aircraft|FG 0.9.10]], FG 1.0.0, FG [[CVS]] and aircraft intended for those versions.

FlightGear model features, quality, and compatibility vary significantly; their development is dependent on the volunteers who worked on them, with exception of some University and Government funded projects although many of these have become deprecated. The list includes some aircraft that are in development, but not available yet. UD mean its unreleased development (not on CVS), CD means its on CVS but incomplete.

The default list order is not solely based on the aircraft manufacturer(s) for various reasons, but with the sort key such an ordering can be obtained. Note that there can be more than one FG model for the same aircraft or more then one variant for a model installation.

*1 in the third column means FlightGear version 1.0 supported, and should be available from [[http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/aircraft/ Here]]. If not, the list may not be up to do date, or if it is, the model is either stale or only supports a future release (see [[CVS]]).

[[Image:OV10A-NASA-in-action.jpg|thumb|right|270px|NASA OV-10 in FlightGear 1.0]]

'''FlightGear''' flight simulator is a sophisticated free, completely open-source flight simulator framework, created by volunteers of the FlightGear project.

The project was started in 1996, with the first release in 1997. The latest public release is [[FlightGear 1.0 feature showcase|1.0.0]] in December 2007, with specific builds for a variety of operating systems including Microsoft Windows (Win 32), Mac OS X, Linux, IRIX, and Solaris. ([http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/ FlightGear Download Central])

Released under the terms of the [[GNU General Public License]], FlightGear is free software. Flightgear is mostly written in C++ with some in C programming languages.

==History==
===Beginnings (1996-1997)===
Development formally started in the late-1990s with an online proposal and code being written in 1996, but using custom 3D graphics code. Development of an OpenGL based version was spearheaded by Curtis Olsen starting in 1997, after the initial start in 1996. A large community response lead to many contributing to the project from its start in late '90s up to the present.

Rather than start entirely from scratch, FlightGear developers made use of the LaRCsim flight model from NASA, with OpenGL for 3D graphic code, and freely available elevation data. First working binaries came out in 1997, with an intense updating of newer versions for several years resulting in progressively more stable and advanced programs.

By 2001, the team was releasing new beta versions regularly (0.7.x, 0.8.x over 2001-2003). Later in the decade, the rate of final public releases slowed, but had larger amounts of content (0.9.8, 0.9.10, etc.). The maturity of software by 2005 lead to more widespread reviews, and increased popularity. The use of version numbers slowed dramatically after the late 2002 release of version 0.9.0. Versions 0.9.9 (2005) and 0.9.10 (2006) had about 8 all-new or redone [[aircraft]] adding to a total of 70-90 aircraft, while 0.9.11 has about 33 new or redone designs.

===Version 0.9.0-1.0 (2002-2007)===
[[Image:FG-A-10.jpg|thumb|250px|3D Cockpit panel for [[A-10]] in version 1.0.0 in 2008]]

Nearly the whole world is well represented using the freely available SRTM elevation data, and a number of special features are available, such as sloped runways. Over 20,000 runways, 3d clouds, multi-platform support, multiple open FDM choices, roughly 100 aircraft choices by version 0.9.10 provide a well-rounded feature set.

Hardware needed for FlightGear is narrow to machines that support [[OpenGL]] and 3D hardware acceleration, with [[NVIDIA]] hardware having better support. Early versions had support for 3dfx cards, though this dropped as hardware requirements increased.

FlightGear has been used in a range of projects in academia and industry.

==Software==
The simulation engine in FlightGear is called [[SimGear]]. It is used both as an end-user application and in academic and research environments, for the development and pursuit of flight simulation ideas.

This customizability of FlightGear is illustrated by the wide range of aircraft models that are available in FlightGear, from [[glider]]s to [[helicopter]]s, and from [[airliner]]s to [[military aircraft|fighter jets]]. These aircraft models have been contributed by many different people.

The FlightGear aircraft use one of three main data models JSBSim, YAsim, or UIUC as of version 0.9.10. Currently only one terrain engine is used, TerraGear. Weather effects include 3D clouds, lighting effects, and time of day.

===Flight Dynamics Models===
[[Image:FlightGear - 1903 Wright Flyer.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Wright Flyer (UIUC)|Wright Flyer]] in 0.9.9, which uses the UIUC FDM]]
[[Flight Dynamics Models]] (FDM) are how the flight for an aircraft is simulated in the program. FlightGear uses a variety of internally written and imported flight model projects. Any aircraft must be programmed to use one of these models. Currently FlightGear is the only flight graphical flight simulator all the FDM are used for, and UIUC and YASim were developed specifically for FlightGear.

Early version used a FDM based on [[LaRCsim]] by [[NASA]], which was replaced with more flexible FDM.

*[[JSBSim]] - the default flight dynamics model software since 2000.
*[[YASim]] - another FDM using different calculation method. Introduced starting in 0.7.9 in 2002.
*[[UIUC]] - another included FDM, developed by the UIUC Applied Aerodynamics Group at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, also made use of LaRCsim.
*Flight Gear can also be setup to render using inputs from an external FDM source, such as from [[Matlab]].
*Other custom FDM for a specific aircraft type have been written, such as for lighter than air aircraft.

===FlightGear dependencies===
Unlike commercial software titles, the main output of the project is simply the release of a collection of code. To turn it into a usable program it must be compiled for a given platform. The software libraries used to create FlightGear have varied over time. The main one is [[SimGear]], which is the underlying sim engine for FlightGear. [[TerraGear]] is not a dependency, but simply a name for the default terrain data program in FlightGear. OpenAL is used for sound/audio software, including support for SDL (since 0.9.5). PLIB is used for hardware support routines, formerly used for sound support also which was taken over by OpenAL. [[OpenGL]] is used for its integrated 3D graphics routines, and other hardware acceleration (namely DirectX) is not supported. [[OpenSceneGraph]] is also integrated into FlightGear. Finally, [[Simple DirectMedia Layer]] is a software library which is used for compiling. Some of the dependencies vary depending on which platform the code is being compiled for. FlightGear users must either compile the code themselves, or find a third party to release a binary, if it is not among the ones available from the project.

===Networking and multi-display===
Several networking options allow FlightGear to communicate with other instances of FlightGear. A [[Multiplayer Howto|multiplayer]] protocol is available for using FlightGear on a local network in a multi aircraft environment. This could be used for formation flight or [[ATC|control tower]] simulation. Multiplayer was soon expanded to allow playing over the internet. Other features include a Google maps based moving up that allows users to observe where other players are.

Several instances of FlightGear can be synchronized to allow for a [[multi-monitor]] environment. If all instances are running at the same frame rate consistently, it is possible to get good and tight synchronization between displays.

===Additional software===
There are programs that are either integrated into FlightGear (dependencies) or perform a function with it. Some of these are included in the release of FlightGear for a specific platform but made by the project, while others are independently distributed but are hosted by the FlightGear project.

One major additional software is the actual interface for launching an executable of FlightGear. For most of its early life FlightGear was only run through command line interfaces. However, the FlightGear Launch Control has been included with the ''[[FG launcher]]'' front-end since 0.9.3 in 2003. ''[[KFreeFlight]]'' is a launcher/front-end for KDE. ''[[FGTools]]'' is an alternative windows launcher front-end. ''[[FGKicker]]'' is a GTK+ based front-end.

Other significant programs include editors and projects for Terrain Data.

==FlightGear code vs. binaries==
Unlike most commercial software, the project release dates only apply to a release of code, not an executable program. To create a runnable program the code must be compiled, which requires several specific libraries, including some general ones and, in some cases some platform specific ones. However, since this too difficult for most mainstream users, other contributors will work to make binaries available for a specific platform and operating system. These packages vary in their stability, performance, dependencies, and how up to date they are with the code base. For example, some older binaries work on Mac OS 9 but newer releases require specific Mac OS X versions.

For example, by late 2007 the latest code release was 0.9.11-pre1 (pre-release) and 0.9.10 (final). However, the actual binaries available vary significantly. Examples of actual binaries available a year after the release of the 0.9.10 code release:

*Win-32 has ~138 Mb package (v0.9.10) (For Windows 98, 2000, ME, 32-bit XP)
*Linux- pre-built packages for specific Linux distributions
**[[Slackware]] package (v0.9.10), [[Fedora Core]] 2,3,4 packages (v0.9.10), [[Pardus]] (v0.9.10), Debian (v0.9.9)
*Solaris packages either for it running on either SPARC or x86 processors.
** SPARC (v0.9.8), x86 (v0.9.9)
*Silicon Graphics IRIX
**SGI binaries for (v0.9.9)
*[[Mac OS X]]
**Mac OS 10.4 (v0.9.10)
**Mac OS 10.3 (v0.9.9)
*[[FreeBSD]] has a package for(v0.9.10)

FlightGear started out with an aircraft included in NASA's LaRCsim, a Navion, which was replaced by a Cessna 172 by 2000. UIUC as well as JSBsim development brought several more aircraft with them, as did the development of YASim which have since become the main FDM used in FG.

The '''777-200''' ('''772A''') was the initial A-market model of the [[Boeing 777]]. The first customer delivery was to United Airlines in May 1995. It is available with a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) from 505,000 to 545,000 pounds (229 to 247 tonnes) and range capability between 3,780 and 5,235 nautical miles (7,000 to 9,695 km).

The direct equivalent from Airbus is the [[Airbus A330-300]]. A total of 88 -200s have been delivered to ten different customers as of July 2008.

FGCom (before 3.0)

2008-07-22T00:01:00Z

R-Dude:

'''FGCOM''' is an addon for Flightgear. With FGCOM (and the infrastructure behind) Flightgear gets a realtime voice communication system.

The original (and for now, authoratative) documentation is in the
[http://squonk.abacab.org/dokuwiki/fgcom-manual FGCOM manual] at the [http://squonk.abacab.org/dokuwiki/fgcom FGCOM web site].

'''VERY IMPORTANT!!!'''

19 June, 2008:

'''Currently the server is down due to hardware problems. It is unknown when the service comes back becuase he currently has no time to fix the problems.'''

22. November 2007:

Due to heavy development at this time there may be some differences between the information on the web pages and the installation. Please follow the discussions on the FlightGear development list!

----

'''The Quick 3 Steps to get FGCOM running on a 32 -bit Linux system'''

support for 64-bit machines will follow

Before you start, make sure that your speakers and mic are working and tested to sensible volumes.

1.) fetch fgcom (a copy of a working iaxclient is inside)

svn checkout svn://svn.dfn.de:/fgcom/trunk fgcom

Optional: edit iaxclient/lib/Makefile

To use oss emulation (recommended and the default for now)

USE_PA_OSS=1
USE_PA_ALSA=0
USE_PA_JACK=0
AUDIO_ALSA=0

To use native alsa (WARNING: PTT won't work)

USE_PA_OSS=0
USE_PA_ALSA=0
USE_PA_JACK=0
AUDIO_ALSA=1

To use portaudio alsa (WARNING: only if your card natively supports
8000Hz sample rate)

USE_PA_OSS=0
USE_PA_ALSA=1
USE_PA_JACK=0
AUDIO_ALSA=0

Edit fgcom/src/Makefile and check the pathes for PLIB_PREFIX and OPENAL_PREFIX.

2.) Compile iaxclient and fgcom. To do so, do the following:

cd fgcom/src && make

3.) Install

make install

and you should be ready for a quick test...

----

Mode 1: client for COM1 of flightgear:

$ fgcom

- connects fgcom to fgfs at localhost:16661

$ fgcom -sother.host.tld -p23456

- connects fgcom to fgfs at other.host.tld:23456

Mode 2: client for an ATC at <airport> on <frequency>:

$ fgcom -aKSFO -d120.500

- sets up fgcom for an ATC radio at KSFO 120.500 MHz

Note that fgcom starts with a guest account unless you use -U and -P!

'''To make full use of FGCOM you will need an account'''

please email <nowiki> wirtz@dfn.de</nowiki> and login details will be sent to you shortly. Accounts will not be made until Autumn 2008.

But you can test without an account (by default the used account is guest, password guest) with restricted frequency use. As guest you can only use the following frequencies:

911.000 MHz (ATC-Help)

910.000 MHz (Echo-Box)

123.450 MHz (Air2Air 1)

122.750 Mhz (Air2Air 2)
