<p>UR-AOK: final edit</p> <hr /> <div>A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.<br /> Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.<br /> Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.<br /> <br /> == Common elements ==<br /> There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:<br /> * A website as the focal point of the community<br /> * Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur<br /> * Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator<br /> * Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators<br /> * Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO<br /> * Less common elements include:<br /> ** An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics<br /> ** Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights<br /> ** Award, rank and recognition systems<br /> ** Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice<br /> <br /> == Virtual airlines ==<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Air Europe Virtual<br /> |established = May 2013<br /> |logo = AEV-logo.png<br /> |status = We are looking for pilots<br /> |callsign = <br /> * AEVxxx<br /> |history = We opened this airline in May 2013 on the 8th.

The original idea was to create a virtual airlines without limits; fly anything, anywhere, anytime. This led to explosive growth and we were able to attract a totally unique leadership team.<br /> <br /> As time progressed, the staff and pilots met on Teamspeak and decided that we wanted to make a course correction. While flying without limited was fun, there wasn't them same sense of accomplishment after putting in hundreds of hours as some pilots find at the airlines structured on real-world operations. That meeting was where the Flight Unlimited Community concept was born.<br /> <br /> Today we are a strong community of Flight Simulation Enthusiasts that take it to the next level everyday. By networking together multiple unique Virtual Airlines, we are able to provide our membership with the services normally only found in significantly larger virtual airlines. This unique formula allows our pilots and staff to enjoy virutally unlimited opportunities for advancement within the community at large.<br /> <br /> Our community of pilots are able to go to a unified job-posting board to see what positions are available at every Virtual Airline and then use their current Virtual Pilot Stats to submit an application for the position. This means that you don't have to wait for a position to open up at Cathay Pacific Virtual as a Cathay Pacific pilot, but rather take a look at Caribbean Airlines Virtual or Japan Airlines Virtual for the opportunity to advance at your own pace. This doesn't only apply to pilots but also mid-level management.<br /> <br /> Pilots and management looking to move up through the ranking structure have the opportunity to one day become CEO's themselves, which make a Flight Unlimited Virtual Airline a truly unique place to fly and develop into the Virtual Aviation leaders of tomorrow.<br /> <br /> <br /> |website = http://www.flightunlimited.org/ <br /> |forum = <br /> <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Virtual Star Alliance (VSA)<br /> |established = April 26, 2009.<br /> |logo = <br /> |status = Merged with Merlion <br /> <br /> |Number of member virtual airlines = 1<br /> <br /> |History = Virtual Star Alliance was the first alliance organization founded in Flight Gear.

The original idea was to create a virtual airlines without limits; fly anything, anywhere, anytime. This led to explosive growth and we were able to attract a totally unique leadership team.<br /> <br /> As time progressed, the staff and pilots met on Teamspeak and decided that we wanted to make a course correction. While flying without limited was fun, there wasn't them same sense of accomplishment after putting in hundreds of hours as some pilots find at the airlines structured on real-world operations. That meeting was where the Flight Unlimited Community concept was born.<br /> <br /> Today we are a strong community of Flight Simulation Enthusiasts that take it to the next level everyday. By networking together multiple unique Virtual Airlines, we are able to provide our membership with the services normally only found in significantly larger virtual airlines. This unique formula allows our pilots and staff to enjoy virutally unlimited opportunities for advancement within the community at large.<br /> <br /> Our community of pilots are able to go to a unified job-posting board to see what positions are available at every Virtual Airline and then use their current Virtual Pilot Stats to submit an application for the position. This means that you don't have to wait for a position to open up at Cathay Pacific Virtual as a Cathay Pacific pilot, but rather take a look at Caribbean Airlines Virtual or Japan Airlines Virtual for the opportunity to advance at your own pace. This doesn't only apply to pilots but also mid-level management.<br /> <br /> Pilots and management looking to move up through the ranking structure have the opportunity to one day become CEO's themselves, which make a Flight Unlimited Virtual Airline a truly unique place to fly and develop into the Virtual Aviation leaders of tomorrow.<br /> <br /> <br /> |website = http://www.flightunlimited.org/ <br /> |forum = <br /> <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Virtual Star Alliance (VSA)<br /> |established = April 26, 2009.<br /> |logo = <br /> |status = Merged with Merlion <br /> <br /> |Number of member virtual airlines = 1<br /> <br /> |History = Virtual Star Alliance was the first alliance organization founded in Flight Gear.

<p>UR-AOK: changes again</p> <hr /> <div>A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.<br /> Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.<br /> Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.<br /> <br /> == Common elements ==<br /> There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:<br /> * A website as the focal point of the community<br /> * Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur<br /> * Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator<br /> * Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators<br /> * Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO<br /> * Less common elements include:<br /> ** An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics<br /> ** Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights<br /> ** Award, rank and recognition systems<br /> ** Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice<br /> <br /> == Virtual airlines ==<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Air Europe Virtual<br /> |established = May 2013<br /> |logo = AEV-logo.png<br /> |status = We are looking for pilots<br /> |callsign = <br /> * AEVxxx<br /> |history = We opened this airline in May 2013 on the 8th.

The original idea was to create a virtual airlines without limits; fly anything, anywhere, anytime. This led to explosive growth and we were able to attract a totally unique leadership team.<br /> <br /> As time progressed, the staff and pilots met on Teamspeak and decided that we wanted to make a course correction. While flying without limited was fun, there wasn't them same sense of accomplishment after putting in hundreds of hours as some pilots find at the airlines structured on real-world operations. That meeting was where the Flight Unlimited Community concept was born.<br /> <br /> Today we are a strong community of Flight Simulation Enthusiasts that take it to the next level everyday. By networking together multiple unique Virtual Airlines, we are able to provide our membership with the services normally only found in significantly larger virtual airlines. This unique formula allows our pilots and staff to enjoy virutally unlimited opportunities for advancement within the community at large.<br /> <br /> Our community of pilots are able to go to a unified job-posting board to see what positions are available at every Virtual Airline and then use their current Virtual Pilot Stats to submit an application for the position. This means that you don't have to wait for a position to open up at Cathay Pacific Virtual as a Cathay Pacific pilot, but rather take a look at Caribbean Airlines Virtual or Japan Airlines Virtual for the opportunity to advance at your own pace. This doesn't only apply to pilots but also mid-level management.<br /> <br /> Pilots and management looking to move up through the ranking structure have the opportunity to one day become CEO's themselves, which make a Flight Unlimited Virtual Airline a truly unique place to fly and develop into the Virtual Aviation leaders of tomorrow.<br /> <br /> <br /> |website = http://www.flightunlimited.org/ <br /> |forum = <br /> <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Virtual Star Alliance (VSA)<br /> |established = April 26, 2009.<br /> |logo = <br /> |status = Merged with Merlion <br /> <br /> |Number of member virtual airlines = 1<br /> <br /> |History = Virtual Star Alliance was the first alliance organization founded in Flight Gear.

<p>UR-AOK: /* Virtual airlines */Voxy update</p> <hr /> <div>A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.<br /> Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.<br /> Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.<br /> <br /> == Common elements ==<br /> There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:<br /> * A website as the focal point of the community<br /> * Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur<br /> * Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator<br /> * Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators<br /> * Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO<br /> * Less common elements include:<br /> ** An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics<br /> ** Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights<br /> ** Award, rank and recognition systems<br /> ** Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice<br /> <br /> == Virtual airlines ==<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Air Europe Virtual<br /> |established = May 2013<br /> |logo = AEV-logo.png<br /> |status = We are looking for pilots<br /> |callsign = <br /> * AEVxxx<br /> |history = We opened this airline in May 2013 on the 8th.

The original idea was to create a virtual airlines without limits; fly anything, anywhere, anytime. This led to explosive growth and we were able to attract a totally unique leadership team.<br /> <br /> As time progressed, the staff and pilots met on Teamspeak and decided that we wanted to make a course correction. While flying without limited was fun, there wasn't them same sense of accomplishment after putting in hundreds of hours as some pilots find at the airlines structured on real-world operations. That meeting was where the Flight Unlimited Community concept was born.<br /> <br /> Today we are a strong community of Flight Simulation Enthusiasts that take it to the next level everyday. By networking together multiple unique Virtual Airlines, we are able to provide our membership with the services normally only found in significantly larger virtual airlines. This unique formula allows our pilots and staff to enjoy virutally unlimited opportunities for advancement within the community at large.<br /> <br /> Our community of pilots are able to go to a unified job-posting board to see what positions are available at every Virtual Airline and then use their current Virtual Pilot Stats to submit an application for the position. This means that you don't have to wait for a position to open up at Cathay Pacific Virtual as a Cathay Pacific pilot, but rather take a look at Caribbean Airlines Virtual or Japan Airlines Virtual for the opportunity to advance at your own pace. This doesn't only apply to pilots but also mid-level management.<br /> <br /> Pilots and management looking to move up through the ranking structure have the opportunity to one day become CEO's themselves, which make a Flight Unlimited Virtual Airline a truly unique place to fly and develop into the Virtual Aviation leaders of tomorrow.<br /> <br /> <br /> |website = http://www.flightunlimited.org/ <br /> |forum = <br /> <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Virtual Star Alliance (VSA)<br /> |established = April 26, 2009.<br /> |logo = <br /> |status = Merged with Merlion <br /> <br /> |Number of member virtual airlines = 1<br /> <br /> |History = Virtual Star Alliance was the first alliance organization founded in Flight Gear.

<p>UR-AOK: updates Voxy VA</p> <hr /> <div>A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.<br /> Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.<br /> Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.<br /> <br /> == Common elements ==<br /> There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:<br /> * A website as the focal point of the community<br /> * Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur<br /> * Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator<br /> * Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators<br /> * Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO<br /> * Less common elements include:<br /> ** An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics<br /> ** Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights<br /> ** Award, rank and recognition systems<br /> ** Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice<br /> <br /> == Virtual airlines ==<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Air Europe Virtual<br /> |established = May 2013<br /> |logo = AEV-logo.png<br /> |status = We are looking for pilots<br /> |callsign = <br /> * AEVxxx<br /> |history = We opened this airline in May 2013 on the 8th.

The original idea was to create a virtual airlines without limits; fly anything, anywhere, anytime. This led to explosive growth and we were able to attract a totally unique leadership team.<br /> <br /> As time progressed, the staff and pilots met on Teamspeak and decided that we wanted to make a course correction. While flying without limited was fun, there wasn't them same sense of accomplishment after putting in hundreds of hours as some pilots find at the airlines structured on real-world operations. That meeting was where the Flight Unlimited Community concept was born.<br /> <br /> Today we are a strong community of Flight Simulation Enthusiasts that take it to the next level everyday. By networking together multiple unique Virtual Airlines, we are able to provide our membership with the services normally only found in significantly larger virtual airlines. This unique formula allows our pilots and staff to enjoy virutally unlimited opportunities for advancement within the community at large.<br /> <br /> Our community of pilots are able to go to a unified job-posting board to see what positions are available at every Virtual Airline and then use their current Virtual Pilot Stats to submit an application for the position. This means that you don't have to wait for a position to open up at Cathay Pacific Virtual as a Cathay Pacific pilot, but rather take a look at Caribbean Airlines Virtual or Japan Airlines Virtual for the opportunity to advance at your own pace. This doesn't only apply to pilots but also mid-level management.<br /> <br /> Pilots and management looking to move up through the ranking structure have the opportunity to one day become CEO's themselves, which make a Flight Unlimited Virtual Airline a truly unique place to fly and develop into the Virtual Aviation leaders of tomorrow.<br /> <br /> <br /> |website = http://www.flightunlimited.org/ <br /> |forum = <br /> <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Virtual Star Alliance (VSA)<br /> |established = April 26, 2009.<br /> |logo = <br /> |status = Merged with Merlion <br /> <br /> |Number of member virtual airlines = 1<br /> <br /> |History = Virtual Star Alliance was the first alliance organization founded in Flight Gear.

<p>UR-AOK: Dravion Airlines, re-brand and additional info</p> <hr /> <div>A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.<br /> Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.<br /> Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.<br /> <br /> == Common elements ==<br /> There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:<br /> * A website as the focal point of the community<br /> * Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur<br /> * Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator<br /> * Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators<br /> * Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO<br /> * Less common elements include:<br /> ** An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics<br /> ** Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights<br /> ** Award, rank and recognition systems<br /> ** Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice<br /> <br /> == Virtual airlines ==<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Air Europe Virtual<br /> |established = May 2013<br /> |logo = AEV-logo.png<br /> |status = We are looking for pilots<br /> |callsign = <br /> * AEVxxx<br /> |history = We opened this airline in May 2013 on the 8th.

The original idea was to create a virtual airlines without limits; fly anything, anywhere, anytime. This led to explosive growth and we were able to attract a totally unique leadership team.<br /> <br /> As time progressed, the staff and pilots met on Teamspeak and decided that we wanted to make a course correction. While flying without limited was fun, there wasn't them same sense of accomplishment after putting in hundreds of hours as some pilots find at the airlines structured on real-world operations. That meeting was where the Flight Unlimited Community concept was born.<br /> <br /> Today we are a strong community of Flight Simulation Enthusiasts that take it to the next level everyday. By networking together multiple unique Virtual Airlines, we are able to provide our membership with the services normally only found in significantly larger virtual airlines. This unique formula allows our pilots and staff to enjoy virutally unlimited opportunities for advancement within the community at large.<br /> <br /> Our community of pilots are able to go to a unified job-posting board to see what positions are available at every Virtual Airline and then use their current Virtual Pilot Stats to submit an application for the position. This means that you don't have to wait for a position to open up at Cathay Pacific Virtual as a Cathay Pacific pilot, but rather take a look at Caribbean Airlines Virtual or Japan Airlines Virtual for the opportunity to advance at your own pace. This doesn't only apply to pilots but also mid-level management.<br /> <br /> Pilots and management looking to move up through the ranking structure have the opportunity to one day become CEO's themselves, which make a Flight Unlimited Virtual Airline a truly unique place to fly and develop into the Virtual Aviation leaders of tomorrow.<br /> <br /> <br /> |website = http://www.flightunlimited.org/ <br /> |forum = <br /> <br /> }}<br /> <br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Virtual Star Alliance (VSA)<br /> |established = April 26, 2009.<br /> |logo = <br /> |status = Merged with Merlion <br /> <br /> |Number of member virtual airlines = 1<br /> <br /> |History = Virtual Star Alliance was the first alliance organization founded in Flight Gear.

<p>UR-AOK: dravion update 1-2015</p> <hr /> <div>A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.<br /> Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.<br /> Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.<br /> <br /> == Common elements ==<br /> There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:<br /> * A website as the focal point of the community<br /> * Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur<br /> * Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator<br /> * Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators<br /> * Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO<br /> * Less common elements include:<br /> ** An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics<br /> ** Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights<br /> ** Award, rank and recognition systems<br /> ** Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice<br /> <br /> == Virtual airlines ==<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Air Europe Virtual<br /> |established = May 2013<br /> |logo = AEV-logo.png<br /> |status = We are looking for pilots<br /> |callsign = <br /> * AEVxxx<br /> |history = We opened this airline in May 2013 on the 8th.

The original idea was to create a virtual airlines without limits; fly anything, anywhere, anytime. This led to explosive growth and we were able to attract a totally unique leadership team.<br /> <br /> As time progressed, the staff and pilots met on Teamspeak and decided that we wanted to make a course correction. While flying without limited was fun, there wasn't them same sense of accomplishment after putting in hundreds of hours as some pilots find at the airlines structured on real-world operations. That meeting was where the Flight Unlimited Community concept was born.<br /> <br /> Today we are a strong community of Flight Simulation Enthusiasts that take it to the next level everyday. By networking together multiple unique Virtual Airlines, we are able to provide our membership with the services normally only found in significantly larger virtual airlines. This unique formula allows our pilots and staff to enjoy virutally unlimited opportunities for advancement within the community at large.<br /> <br /> Our community of pilots are able to go to a unified job-posting board to see what positions are available at every Virtual Airline and then use their current Virtual Pilot Stats to submit an application for the position. This means that you don't have to wait for a position to open up at Cathay Pacific Virtual as a Cathay Pacific pilot, but rather take a look at Caribbean Airlines Virtual or Japan Airlines Virtual for the opportunity to advance at your own pace. This doesn't only apply to pilots but also mid-level management.<br /> <br /> Pilots and management looking to move up through the ranking structure have the opportunity to one day become CEO's themselves, which make a Flight Unlimited Virtual Airline a truly unique place to fly and develop into the Virtual Aviation leaders of tomorrow.<br /> <br /> <br /> |website = http://www.flightunlimited.org/ <br /> |forum = <br /> <br /> }}<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = SkyTeam Virtual Alliance<br /> |established = June 20. 2013.<br /> |logo = <br /> |status = Active<br /> <br /> |Number of member airlines = 4<br /> <br /> |History = SkyTeam is a new virtual airline alliance.

<p>UR-AOK: dravion update 2</p> <hr /> <div>A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator.

The original idea was to create a virtual airlines without limits; fly anything, anywhere, anytime. This led to explosive growth and we were able to attract a totally unique leadership team.<br /> <br /> As time progressed, the staff and pilots met on Teamspeak and decided that we wanted to make a course correction. While flying without limited was fun, there wasn't them same sense of accomplishment after putting in hundreds of hours as some pilots find at the airlines structured on real-world operations. That meeting was where the Flight Unlimited Community concept was born.<br /> <br /> Today we are a strong community of Flight Simulation Enthusiasts that take it to the next level everyday. By networking together multiple unique Virtual Airlines, we are able to provide our membership with the services normally only found in significantly larger virtual airlines. This unique formula allows our pilots and staff to enjoy virutally unlimited opportunities for advancement within the community at large.<br /> <br /> Our community of pilots are able to go to a unified job-posting board to see what positions are available at every Virtual Airline and then use their current Virtual Pilot Stats to submit an application for the position. This means that you don't have to wait for a position to open up at Cathay Pacific Virtual as a Cathay Pacific pilot, but rather take a look at Caribbean Airlines Virtual or Japan Airlines Virtual for the opportunity to advance at your own pace. This doesn't only apply to pilots but also mid-level management.<br /> <br /> Pilots and management looking to move up through the ranking structure have the opportunity to one day become CEO's themselves, which make a Flight Unlimited Virtual Airline a truly unique place to fly and develop into the Virtual Aviation leaders of tomorrow.<br /> <br /> <br /> |website = http://www.flightunlimited.org/ <br /> |forum = <br /> <br /> }}<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = SkyTeam Virtual Alliance<br /> |established = June 20. 2013.<br /> |logo = <br /> |status = Active<br /> <br /> |Number of member airlines = 4<br /> <br /> |History = SkyTeam is a new virtual airline alliance.

<p>UR-AOK: updated Dravion fleet</p> <hr /> <div>A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.<br /> Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.<br /> Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.<br /> <br /> == Common elements ==<br /> There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:<br /> * A website as the focal point of the community<br /> * Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur<br /> * Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator<br /> * Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators<br /> * Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO<br /> * Less common elements include:<br /> ** An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics<br /> ** Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights<br /> ** Award, rank and recognition systems<br /> ** Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice<br /> <br /> == Virtual airlines ==<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Air Europe Virtual<br /> |established = May 2013<br /> |logo = AEV-logo.png<br /> |status = We are looking for pilots<br /> |callsign = <br /> * AEVxxx<br /> |history = We opened this airline in May 2013 on the 8th.

The original idea was to create a virtual airlines without limits; fly anything, anywhere, anytime. This led to explosive growth and we were able to attract a totally unique leadership team.<br /> <br /> As time progressed, the staff and pilots met on Teamspeak and decided that we wanted to make a course correction. While flying without limited was fun, there wasn't them same sense of accomplishment after putting in hundreds of hours as some pilots find at the airlines structured on real-world operations. That meeting was where the Flight Unlimited Community concept was born.<br /> <br /> Today we are a strong community of Flight Simulation Enthusiasts that take it to the next level everyday. By networking together multiple unique Virtual Airlines, we are able to provide our membership with the services normally only found in significantly larger virtual airlines. This unique formula allows our pilots and staff to enjoy virutally unlimited opportunities for advancement within the community at large.<br /> <br /> Our community of pilots are able to go to a unified job-posting board to see what positions are available at every Virtual Airline and then use their current Virtual Pilot Stats to submit an application for the position. This means that you don't have to wait for a position to open up at Cathay Pacific Virtual as a Cathay Pacific pilot, but rather take a look at Caribbean Airlines Virtual or Japan Airlines Virtual for the opportunity to advance at your own pace. This doesn't only apply to pilots but also mid-level management.<br /> <br /> Pilots and management looking to move up through the ranking structure have the opportunity to one day become CEO's themselves, which make a Flight Unlimited Virtual Airline a truly unique place to fly and develop into the Virtual Aviation leaders of tomorrow.<br /> <br /> <br /> |website = http://www.flightunlimited.org/ <br /> |forum = <br /> <br /> }}<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = SkyTeam Virtual Alliance<br /> |established = June 20. 2013.<br /> |logo = <br /> |status = Active<br /> <br /> |Number of member airlines = 4<br /> <br /> |History = SkyTeam is a new virtual airline alliance.

UR-AOK https://wiki.flightgear.org/w/index.php?title=Switching_default_texture_format_to_DDS&diff=75953 2014-09-05T16:58:45Z

<p>UR-AOK: added gt 520 result</p> <hr /> <div>The FG development team is considering to '''switch the default format for textures from png to DDS'''. This would offer a number of significant advantages:<br /> <br /> * DDS is a more compact format than png, hence the download size of the FG base package may be decreased<br /> * Compressed DDS can be directly used by many graphics cards, reducing also GPU memory consumption<br /> * DDS stores all texture resolution levels, in essence no lower resolution levels have to be generated when the texture is used, hence it loads much faster into memory<br /> * The resolution levels ('mipmaps') can be customized, allowing for some interesting effects at no performance cost<br /> <br /> Practically all commercial simulations use DDS for these reasons. <br /> <br /> == Feedback needed - should FlightGear switch the defaults to DDS format for terrain texturing? ==<br /> <br /> However, the DDS compression algorithm is patented, which means that it is not readily available for open source graphics drivers used by Linux distributions. Dependent on the specific hardware, this may or may not be a problem (modern graphics cards typically do not need the driver to process DDS, for older graphics cards there are non-patented workarounds available which decompress the DDS on the software level). The development team is concerned about making the FlightGear experience pleasant for all users, hence we would like to gather feedback how many users would be affected by a change in practice.<br /> <br /> {{FGCquote<br /> |let's collect some some feedback [on DDS usage in FlightGear] until late November and restart this topic. We probably know by then what we do for the next release. &quot;Somebody&quot; needs to collect the feedback, however.<br /> |{{cite web |url=http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/32791750/<br /> |title=&lt;nowiki&gt;Re: [Flightgear-devel] .dds textures (was Unused and/or sourceless textures‏)&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> |author=&lt;nowiki&gt;Torsten Dreyer&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> |date=&lt;nowiki&gt;2014-09-03&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> }}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> If there are no problems reported, FG will change defaults to textures in DDS format with the 3.4 release, and then phase out the use of png textures.<br /> In other words, a lack of feedback from end users might very well mean that future FlightGear versions may require DDS support and may not necessarily work for people with outdated hardware - so if you care about backward compatibility, please do get involved, test DDS support and provide feedback!<br /> <br /> === What we need you to do? ===<br /> <br /> FlightGear already provides the simple option to test a DDS texture set.

If yes, you're fine.

If indeed the FGFS DDS textures are only meant to be used in FGFS then this should be fixed at the conversion time. Otherwise, if we want other applications to easily reuse the FGFS textures then it would be better to stick to the most common convention. But I think we all agree that the source for any DDS texture should be kept, which pretty much precludes importing ready made DDS textures from 3rd party sources. Incidentally I think importing DDS artwork from other sources should be discouraged, since it will most likely run afoul of the licensing terms of the original copyright owner.<br /> |{{cite web |url=http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/32799324/<br /> |title=&lt;nowiki&gt;Re: [Flightgear-devel] .dds textures (was Unused and/or sourceless textures‏)&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> |author=&lt;nowiki&gt;TDO Brandano&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> |date=&lt;nowiki&gt;2014-09-05&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> }}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Nothing as exotic. Just a different &quot;origin&quot; between OpenGL and Direct3D image conventions. OpenGL image origin is located in the lower-left corner, while Direct3D (hence DDS too) considers the top-left as the origin, resulting in a DDS image to appear vertically flipped when read in an OpenGL context. This has repercussions in the way normal-map decoded normals appear (hence the flag in the effects, which signals to the shader to flip the decoded normals). The rest is simply a matter of workflow: either use flipped coordinates and skewed/reversed conventions throughout your whole workflow, or just flip the image and (eventually) set a flag for the shader at &quot;publish&quot; time (said flag could be automatically set by the code on DDS texture load).

<p>UR-AOK: added UVAF</p> <hr /> <div>A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.<br /> Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.<br /> Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.<br /> <br /> == Common elements ==<br /> There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:<br /> * A website as the focal point of the community<br /> * Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur<br /> * Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator<br /> * Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators<br /> * Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO<br /> * Less common elements include:<br /> ** An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics<br /> ** Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights<br /> ** Award, rank and recognition systems<br /> ** Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice<br /> <br /> == Virtual airlines ==<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Air Europe Virtual<br /> |established = May 2013<br /> |logo = AEV-logo.png<br /> |status = We are looking for pilots<br /> |callsign = <br /> * AEVxxx<br /> |history = We opened this airline in May 2013 on the 8th.

<p>UR-AOK: </p> <hr /> <div>A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.<br /> Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.<br /> Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.<br /> <br /> == Common elements ==<br /> There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:<br /> * A website as the focal point of the community<br /> * Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur<br /> * Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator<br /> * Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators<br /> * Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO<br /> * Less common elements include:<br /> ** An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics<br /> ** Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights<br /> ** Award, rank and recognition systems<br /> ** Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice<br /> <br /> == Virtual airlines ==<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Air Europe Virtual<br /> |established = May 2013<br /> |logo = AEV-logo.png<br /> |status = We are looking for pilots<br /> |callsign = <br /> * AEVxxx<br /> |history = We opened this airline in May 2013 on the 8th.

<p>UR-AOK: Dravion Airlines Added</p> <hr /> <div>A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.<br /> Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.<br /> Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.<br /> <br /> == Common elements ==<br /> There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:<br /> * A website as the focal point of the community<br /> * Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur<br /> * Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator<br /> * Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators<br /> * Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO<br /> * Less common elements include:<br /> ** An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics<br /> ** Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights<br /> ** Award, rank and recognition systems<br /> ** Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice<br /> <br /> == Virtual airlines ==<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Air Europe Virtual<br /> |established = May 2013<br /> |logo = AEV-logo.png<br /> |status = We are looking for pilots<br /> |callsign = <br /> * AEVxxx<br /> |history = We opened this airline in May 2013 on the 8th.

You are at the bhutanese '''[[Yongphulla Airport|Yongphula Domestic Airport]]''' (VQ10) at a height of 2573 metres. After [[Paro Airport|Paro]], also this airport has been improved. Besides the Terminal and Apron, shared models and other little things have now been added. [[TerraSync]] has it all! Have a nice flight in the Kingdom of Bhutan.<br /> &lt;gallery mode=packed heights=240px&gt;<br /> VQ10 Yongphula Airport.jpg|Yonghula Airport<br /> VQ10 Yongphula Apron.jpg|Tower and Terminal of Yongphula<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==In the Hangar==<br /> ===Beechcraft B1900D template===<br /> A new template for the [http://wiki.flightgear.org/Beechcraft_B1900D B1900D] is available in the [http://liveries.flightgear.org/paintkits.php Paintkits] section of the [http://liveries.flightgear.org/ flightgear liveries database website]. The template comes in svg format (best used with [http://www.inkscape.org inkscape]) features:<br /> * full rivets, panel lines and stencils details in vector format<br /> * ambient occlusion layer<br /> * dirt layer<br /> Some B1900d liveries made with this template are available to download in the [http://liveries.flightgear.org/aircraft.php?limit=25&amp;display=2&amp;page=0&amp;id=21 flightgear liveries database website]<br /> <br /> ===Eurofighter EF2000===<br /> {{#ev:youtube|_MaxljfrPBY||right|A brief in-cockpit demo of the EF2000's FCS}}<br /> A big milestone has been achieved in the ongoing development of the EF2000, which I (Algernon) have been project managing since branching from the Eurofighter Typhoon project some years back: finally, after a lot of fiddling, a completely computerised Flight Control System which can simulate its real-life counterpart, with surface control fully autonomous and with an autopilot-based processor interpreting pilot input and commanding the system to fly its maximum performance envelope to obey, but not exceed safety or design limits. While a lot of these features are not yet implemented, we have established a working practice for the core system which allows extra elements to be introduced simply and effectively. I have heard it said that FG is incapable of simulating such systems, and I hope here we have proved otherwise, and, a bit self-indulgently, that maybe this will be the first truly fly-by-wire aircraft in FlightGear! (I am of course prepared to stand corrected there...)<br /> <br /> Particular thanks for this objective go to StuartC, who designed the basis of the FDM, and Tomaskom, whose help in fields where I am not much of a master (like mathematics) has been invaluable. Many updates are planned for the EF2000, including a whole new custom paintjob with many liveries, and it is hoped a final, V2.0 release may be available in the later part of the year. You can also get hold of a pre-release copy if you visit the [http://fguk.eu/index.php/forum/index FGUK Forum] and register your interest, for testing purposes - your feedback will be appreciated. Pre-releases will probably not be available until at least September 2014.<br /> <br /> Other points being addressed in the V2.0 release are:<br /> <br /> * New modular Nasal approach and many new scripts. Upgraded to Eno audio management.<br /> * New UV map for N-SCOT, leading to sexy new textures and liveries and hopefully a paintkit too<br /> * Improvements to helmet-mounted display and HUD for improved navigation, target acquisition and weapons management<br /> * Disintegration, explosion, real damage and real maintenance<br /> * External lighting redesigned<br /> * Experimental and deprecated code bumph removed<br /> <br /> == Other ==<br /> === FG logo proposal by Cossack90 ===<br /> Hereby I cossack90 proudly present you a FlightGear logo proposal.

This allows to render the shallow waters around islands in a compelling way. Combined with the ability of ALS to change the basic water color based on location and weather conditions/sky appearance, many combination of shallows, mud content and weather conditions can now be addressed by the highest detail water shader effect.<br /> <br /> [[File:Depth01.jpg|400px|Water depth mapping in ALS]] <br /> <br /> === Initial OsgEarth integration ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Thanks to recent work by forum user '''poweroftwo''' we now have initial osgEarth integration featuring a runtime selectable option for the terrain scene in FlightGear. Once enabled, osgEarth renders the terrain scene by building the textured geometry at runtime from raw source imagery and elevation data. Load times for an unvisited location are surprisingly fast given a respectable Internet download rate. For locations previously visited, an optimized file cache data is saved for rapid loading.<br /> <br /> Input data can come from a variety of sources including web mapping services or local source data (e.g. geotiff) stored on disk. Once rendering is enabled, the entire FlightGear terrain scene graph is replaced along as well as the scene elevation queries. However, the native terrain implementation remains fully intact and can be restored by disabling osgEarth from its configuration dialog.<br /> <br /> The benefits gained from this initial osgEarth integration include geo-specific imagery rendered in real-time from a variety of sources that are available worldwide; tiled terrain on demand; and high altitude views from anywhere above the earth. However, this implementation with FlightGear includes some notable limitations listed in the compromises section.<br /> <br /> {{#ev:youtube|0aUZTvpdLFU}} {{#ev:youtube|dZ5JuQ9ZDEQ}}<br /> <br /> Learn more at http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=21351<br /> <br /> === Introducing two new Frameworks: NavDisplay &amp; MapStructure ===<br /> [[File:MapStructureDialog.png|thumb|MapStructure demo]]<br /> [[File:NavDisplay.png|thumb|a NavDisplay-driven Canvas/GUI dialog]]<br /> [[File:Hyde-777-200ER-independent-NDs.png|thumb|independent NavDisplay instances on Hyde's 777-200ER]]<br /> <br /> In a joint effort, Gijs' original Boeing 744 NavDisplay/[[Canvas]] code (fully scripted using [[Nasal]]) has meanwhile been sufficiently generalized to be also usable in other aircraft without having to copy/paste lots of code (typically, ~30 lines will do now). <br /> <br /> Hyde's 777-200ER being the very first adopter for the time being, with the added bonus that the 777-200ER now also supports independent ND instances, i.e. independent displays and switches for each pilot. Hyde is also planning on implementing missing 777-specific features. Currently, none of this is in fgdata yet, but Gijs and Hyde are going to review the new NavDisplay framework to hopefully get it committed soon.<br /> <br /> In the meantime, Philosopher and Hooray have started working on a new Nasal framework, called [[MapStructure]], to easily create charting displays like the [[NavDisplay]] with very little specialized Nasal code being required. Once the MapStructure framework is completed, we will work towards porting our old *.layer/*.draw/*.model files to make use of the new MapStructure framework and adapt the NavDisplay framework accordingly.<br /> <br /> MapStructure is going to be common backend for all charting needs in FlightGear, not just in instruments (i.e. MFDs like the ND), but also in GUI dialogs (Map, instructor console, ATC etc). <br /> <br /> Currently, there are still some minor performance issues (especially on less powerful computers), which we hope to resolve by moving some parts into C++ space, hopefully in time for the 3.0 release (Our Canvas/C++ guys, TheTom and Zakalawe are looking into it).<br /> <br /> Please get in touch if you have any questions or if you'd like to get involved in some way.<br /> <br /> === Getting started with CppBind ===<br /> <br /> FlightGear's built-in [[Nasal]] scripting language comes with a set of standard libraries, and can be extended using FlightGear specific APIs.<br /> <br /> Until FlightGear 2.8, the [[Nasal]] scripting engine only provided a C API to expose such hooks/bindings to scripting space or to expose scripting space data structures back to C/C++. <br /> <br /> Exposing simulator internals to scripting space is a fairly common and useful thing, because it enables base package developers to access these internals without having to build FlightGear from source, so the barrier to entry is significantly lower and we've seen an increasing number of novel features purely implemented in scripting space, due to powerful APIs being available to aircraft developers and other base package developers.<br /> <br /> Unlike the core Nasal engine itself (which is C), FlightGear however is mostly written and being developed in C++. For quite a while, that meant that the Nasal APIs were a bit low-level, and sometimes also awkward to use when making functions, data structures or objects accessible between C++ and Nasal.<br /> <br /> Thanks to Tom's [[Canvas]] system, there's now a new bindings framework to be found in simgear/nasal/cppbind. This is fully object oriented and supports modern C++ features.<br /> <br /> You will find that most of the &quot;old&quot; code in $FG_SRC/Scripting still uses those old C-APIs for interacting with the Nasal engine. Only the new code, #include'ing &lt;simgear/nasal/cppbind&gt;, uses boost templates to hide low level details.<br /> <br /> Most of the code in the Nasal subsystem itself (FGNasalSys) also still uses the legacy C APIs - this is just to explain the two approaches, to avoid unnecessary confusion. You will find the old, low-level APIs explained at [[Howto:Extend Nasal]].<br /> <br /> The cppbind framework is much more generic and high level than the bare C APIs, cppbind includes unit testing support and makes use of modern C++ features like templates and STL support, including SimGear specific types like SGPath/SGGeod etc, its overhead is fairly small (not just performance, but also LoC to create new bindings). The cppbind framework is already extensively used by the Canvas system and the NasalPositioned_cppbind bindings, both of which are a good place to look for code examples.<br /> <br /> Continue reading at [[Nasal/CppBind]]...<br /> <br /> === FGRun repository changes ===<br /> The [http://gitorious.org/fg/fgrun FGRun Git repository] now uses the same branch concept as FlightGear and SimGear. Current development takes place in the &lt;code&gt;next&lt;/code&gt; branch, while &lt;code&gt;release/X.X&lt;/code&gt; branches are created for each release. In addition to that the FGRun version number is now in sync with FlightGear/SimGear, to make it easier to see whether your FGRun and FlightGear builds match.<br /> <br /> === The Walker ===<br /> The Walker is currently made portable to be easily incorporated in arbitrary Aircraft. Additionally, an animatable Pilot Model for Cockpit Placement is in development. Walker and Crew will be supporting different Hand Poses, such as pointing, a Fist, thumbsup or a Victory Sign.<br /> <br /> [[File:Walker Waldo.png|400px|The male Walker]]<br /> [[File:Walker Amelie.png|400px|The female Walker]]<br /> [[File:Walker pilot model.png|400px|A Pilot Model, Co-Pilot and Crew are to come.]]<br /> [[File:Walker hand poses.png|400px|Hand Poses that will be selectable within the Animation Dialog]]<br /> <br /> === Random Buildings ===<br /> <br /> === Canvas System ===<br /> <br /> === High Level Architecture ===<br /> <br /> === Usability Improvements ===<br /> <br /> === Getting involved as a programmer ===<br /> Unfortunately, most of the active FG developers are currently very overstretched in terms of the areas that they have ownership of, which is affecting how much can actually be done. Fundamentally we need more core devs.<br /> <br /> If you are interested in contributing as a core developer, please see [[Howto:Start core development]].<br /> <br /> == Release ChangeLog ==<br /> This section lists changes committed this month that will be available in the next release, these will be copied to the release changelog shortly before a release (for each month), so that we hopefully get a comprehensive list of new features.<br /> <br /> == Interview with a contributor (NAME) ==<br /> ''In each edition we have an interview with a contributor. Suggestions for possible questions are available on [[interview questions]], you are invited to come up with new questions and interview ideas obviously! Anyone is free to write an interview (with him-/herself or others) for next month's newsletter!

Well yes, mostly, but each of those symbols are unique in a way from all of the other strings out there: they're interned. (Interning is a process that takes strings and a dictionary and returns a matching string, adding one if needed. That means equal strings are substituted so they have the same pointer, i.e. one string represents all instances of &quot;io&quot;, stored in a pool/hash of all used symbols.) Though these interned strings appear at runtime in the keys in namespaces, they get created during code generation (codegen), where the symbols (TOK_SYMBOL) get converted to Nasal strings, are interned to get the correct string (using the globals-&gt;symbols hash), and are stored in the naCode's constants' block. From there, the symbol-strings are used to set and get various lvalues (both local/global symbols and objects' members) in an optimized way (that's the whole point of the exercise). Looking at hash.c, there are some specialized functions that make use of the potential optimizations:<br /> <br /> * naiHash_sym (looks up an interned symbol)<br /> * naiHash_newsym (adds a symbol in the first empty slot for the hashcode)<br /> <br /> (There's another that looks similar, naiHash_tryset, but it does not deal with interned symbols: it uses the findkey() method, which in turn uses the equals() method that checks for more general key equality instead of simple pointer equality.)<br /> <br /> The first, naiHash_sym, is pretty neat and the prime example of the optimization: it runs through a hashcode's potential slots, checking only pointer equality (note that interned symbols' hashcodes are computed during interning, so that's another step that doesn't have to be done are runtime). naiHash_newsym is another nice optimization but a little problematic, due to its assumption that the key doesn't exist already. It's basically used for adding another argument as a local key, but it doesn't care about if it exists already, it just sees an occupied slot and keeps going. Consider the following example that illustrates calling with an argument into a hash that already has the argument's key in it:<br /> <br /> &lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;nasal&quot;&gt;<br /> var f_creates_arg = func(arg...) {<br /> foreach (var k; keys(caller(0)[0]))<br /> print(k);<br /> debug.dump(arg);<br /> }<br /> call(f_creates_arg, nil, nil, {arg:nil}); # call into namespace: arg=nil; with arguments of: arg=[]<br /> &lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;<br /> <br /> This should print:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> arg<br /> arg<br /> nil<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> This shows that the key is being set twice (which violates a normal precondition of hashes): once as an argument and once to create an existing key in the namespace. The one set first is the one being picked up (e.g. the arg in {arg:nil} versus the arg... that equals []). And this behavior persists even through resizing: hashset() (which is used to reinitialize a hash after reallocation) only keeps appending keys in empty slots, so the number of keys doesn't change (even if there are multiple of the same keys).<br /> <br /> For this reason, I would suggest amending naiHash_newsym to check keys' pointer equality before continuing; that way symbols aren't &quot;trodden&quot; over like this. (Please note that if &quot;arg&quot; exists in the hash as non-interned, then it will be trodden over anyways; having to look for non-interned symbols would mainly violate the point of the optimization at this step, and doesn't actually matter in the long run.) I would argue that finding an existing key (a few simple pointer comparisons!) would be more efficient generally, because the hash would never need to be resized if an existing one is found, whereas the old version would append regardless. (I think I once counted well over a hundred &quot;arg&quot; symbols in the __js0 namespace from the continual firing of bindings, which obviously isn't good.)<br /> <br /> Continue reading at [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=30&amp;t=21308&amp;p=193935#p193935].<br /> <br /> == New software tools and projects ==<br /> <br /> == FlightGear addons and mods ==<br /> ====New textures and lightmaps for random buildings====<br /> <br /> New textures and lightmaps for the random buildings areas.<br /> [[File:Lightmap terrain at noon.png|thumb|220px|Lightmap terrain at noon]]<br /> [[File:Lightmap terrain at night.png|thumb|220px|Lightmap terrain at night]]<br /> The urban lightmap works using a modified urban shader + modified urban effect, the modified files need to be improve to make work the original urban shader when the random building function is off and enable new shader when the random building function is on.<br /> <br /> Installation:<br /> <br /> 1- unzip the file<br /> <br /> 2- copy, paste and replace<br /> a) urban.eff at $FG ROOT/Effects/<br /> b) urban.frag , urban-gbuffer.frag and urban-lightfield.frag at $FG ROOT/Shaders/<br /> c) buildings.png and buildings-lightmap at $FG ROOT/Textures/<br /> <br /> 3- i suggest to change the random building density to the middle of your computer default settings, you can make this by edit at autosave.xml or autosave_2_12.xml (depend your version), at the line &quot;&lt;building-density type=&quot;double&quot;&gt;1&lt;/building-density&gt;&quot;<br /> <br /> 4- FAQ <br /> <br /> Where is $FG ROOT? please click [[$FG ROOT|here]]<br /> <br /> Where is autosave.xml or autosave_2_12.xml? please click [[FlightGear configuration via XML|here]]<br /> <br /> If you want to go back to the default effects, please download this package and follow the installation instructions again <br /> <br /> Download from [https://www.dropbox.com/s/r3o06xtxn9gp27m/New_Urban_effects.zip here]<br /> <br /> Download default textures and effects from [https://www.dropbox.com/s/75jodt5psqc5yzl/Default_eff.zip here]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Lightmap terrain at dusk.png<br /> File:Large building lights.png<br /> File:City at night.png<br /> File:Reflection map at dusk.png<br /> File:Reflection map at night.png<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> == In the hangar ==<br /> ==== Tupolev Tu-134 ====<br /> <br /> [[File:Tu134_aeroflot.png|thumb|270px|The &quot;whistle&quot; taking speed for take-off.]]<br /> <br /> [[File:Tu-134 liveries nose.gif|thumb|270px|You can choose one of the 3 noses.]]<br /> <br /> The [[Tupolev Tu-134]] dev team proudly announce a new soviet airliner for FlightGear!

<p>UR-AOK: chernaflot = abandoned</p> <hr /> <div>A '''virtual airline''' (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the internet, similar to a real airline. There are over 100 virtual airlines of significance currently active in the internet (supporting a number of flightsims), with thousands of participants involved at any one time each using different simulator platforms.<br /> <br /> == Purpose ==<br /> Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.<br /> Most of all, its one step closer to enthusiasts feeling more involved in an airline environment and share their interests with others.<br /> Virtual Airlines also benefit the flight simulator community by providing valuable services such as ATC, events, and general help and knowledge.<br /> <br /> == Common elements ==<br /> There are several elements that are common across many virtual airlines:<br /> * A website as the focal point of the community<br /> * Internet forum where discussion and social interaction can occur<br /> * Customized livery that users can download together with aircraft and install in their flight simulator<br /> * Route schedules for members to fly in their simulators<br /> * Multiplayer events, often on a game network such as VATSIM or IVAO<br /> * Less common elements include:<br /> ** An Online database for recording and reporting flights and membership statistics<br /> ** Dedicated game server hosting to provide private areas for members to complete flights<br /> ** Award, rank and recognition systems<br /> ** Voice over Internet Protocol servers for members to communicate freely by voice<br /> <br /> == Virtual airlines ==<br /> {{Virtual airline summary<br /> |name = Air Europe Virtual<br /> |established = May 2013<br /> |logo = AEV-logo.png<br /> |status = We are looking for pilots<br /> |callsign = <br /> * AEVxxx<br /> |history = We opened this airline in May 2013 on the 8th.

The airport is owned by Cherkasy City Council.<br /> <br /> = Real life =<br /> <br /> Cherkasy Airport has the airport complex, which includes: air<br /> terminal throughput capacity of 400 passengers per hour, which<br /> provides for passage of customs, cargo terminal for storing 1000<br /> tons of cargo, administration building with dining area, fuel<br /> storage, a warehouse for technical equipment and materials, and a<br /> building for the aircraft maintenance base.<br /> <br /> The airport is Class &quot;B&quot; with an artificial runway with maximum<br /> takeoff weight of up to 185.5 tons.<br /> At the moment Cherkasy airport serves only charter flights around<br /> Ukraine, the reason lies behind Boryspil airport in Kiev, which<br /> handles most of Ukraine's International flights. In addition,<br /> Cherkasy airport is considered as alternative airport for Borispil in<br /> case of unforeseen situations and adverse weather conditions.<br /> <br /> ==History and Development==<br /> <br /> In 1984 Cherkasy Airport was one of the largest airports in the<br /> USSR and had an international status, and received aircraft<br /> weighing up to 185.5 tons, serving up to 80 flights a day. After the<br /> fall of USSR airport had struggles maintaining airline services, and<br /> in 1992 the airport lost its international status and ceased to take<br /> international flights. More than 1,500 employees left the<br /> workplace, only staff that was serving the charter flight and<br /> emergency landings stayed. In 1997 airport lost most of it's<br /> character flights, and was finally closed in 2002 due to economic<br /> struggles, and problems with the property.<br /> <br /> On March 29, 2007 the work of the airport was renewed. A<br /> Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has received an application for<br /> assignment of the airport's international status. From 2007 to<br /> 2009, until the application for international status was in<br /> consideration of the Government of Ukraine, the airport has been<br /> carefully reconstructed, in particular runway and airport terminal<br /> was upgraded significantly. Finally on May 22, 2009 the Cabinet<br /> of Ministers of Ukraine appropriated international status to<br /> &quot;Cherkasy Airport&quot;, allowing the airport for cargo and passenger<br /> airlines to make character, and international flights.<br /> <br /> In late 2009, work was in progress on the creation and opening of<br /> border crossing points for assigning the status of international<br /> airport. Also signed a cooperation agreement with the Ukrainian<br /> airline &quot; Air Urga&quot;, which provides air transportation to Western<br /> Europe, CIS countries, Syria, Egypt and other countries. It is<br /> assumed that the airport will become a spare during the EURO<br /> 2012 championship. <br /> <br /> = Virtual =<br /> <br /> The airport is in development from March 26, 2012.

The airport is owned by Cherkasy City Council.<br /> <br /> = Real life =<br /> <br /> Cherkasy Airport has the airport complex, which includes: air<br /> terminal throughput capacity of 400 passengers per hour, which<br /> provides for passage of customs, cargo terminal for storing 1000<br /> tons of cargo, administration building with dining area, fuel<br /> storage, a warehouse for technical equipment and materials, and a<br /> building for the aircraft maintenance base.<br /> <br /> The airport is Class &quot;B&quot; with an artificial runway with maximum<br /> takeoff weight of up to 185.5 tons.<br /> At the moment Cherkasy airport serves only charter flights around<br /> Ukraine, the reason lies behind Boryspil airport in Kiev, which<br /> handles most of Ukraine's International flights. In addition,<br /> Cherkasy airport is considered as alternative airport for Borispil in<br /> case of unforeseen situations and adverse weather conditions.<br /> <br /> ==History and Development==<br /> <br /> In 1984 Cherkasy Airport was one of the largest airports in the<br /> USSR and had an international status, and received aircraft<br /> weighing up to 185.5 tons, serving up to 80 flights a day. After the<br /> fall of USSR airport had struggles maintaining airline services, and<br /> in 1992 the airport lost its international status and ceased to take<br /> international flights. More than 1,500 employees left the<br /> workplace, only staff that was serving the charter flight and<br /> emergency landings stayed. In 1997 airport lost most of it's<br /> character flights, and was finally closed in 2002 due to economic<br /> struggles, and problems with the property.<br /> <br /> On March 29, 2007 the work of the airport was renewed. A<br /> Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has received an application for<br /> assignment of the airport's international status. From 2007 to<br /> 2009, until the application for international status was in<br /> consideration of the Government of Ukraine, the airport has been<br /> carefully reconstructed, in particular runway and airport terminal<br /> was upgraded significantly. Finally on May 22, 2009 the Cabinet<br /> of Ministers of Ukraine appropriated international status to<br /> &quot;Cherkasy Airport&quot;, allowing the airport for cargo and passenger<br /> airlines to make character, and international flights.<br /> <br /> In late 2009, work was in progress on the creation and opening of<br /> border crossing points for assigning the status of international<br /> airport. Also signed a cooperation agreement with the Ukrainian<br /> airline &quot; Air Urga&quot;, which provides air transportation to Western<br /> Europe, CIS countries, Syria, Egypt and other countries. It is<br /> assumed that the airport will become a spare during the EURO<br /> 2012 championship. <br /> <br /> = Virtual =<br /> <br /> The airport is in development from March 26, 2012.
