We can discuss vatsim back and forth all day long, but until a volunteer steps forward who's willing (and able) to build the vatsim interface to flightgear, and who is willing to sign all the vatsim nda's, and who is willing to do whatever discussion and negotiation and strategiing and design work that is required to make the system function satisfactorily from the perspective of both vatsim and flightgear. The people that pitch in and do the work get to decide what they will work on and how they will do it. FlightGear is a volunteer driven project. So all that said, here's one more thing to ponder. It would have to be done as an entirely open-source module within FlightGear, or as an entirely separate external application that communicates with flightgear through some network protocol. Hopefully I'm way wrong, but if we lay it all out for them open and honestly up front so we aren't trying to sneak something past them, what do you think they would say? FlightGear doesn't have a binary plug in system so it's not possible for someone to write a closed source plugin to implement the vatsim protocol. But I'm trying to place myself in the perspective of what the vatsim folks would think. I'd personally love to have it available one way or another. Please notice: this isn't me being negative about vatsim, or being negative about the idea of a vatsim interface for flightgear. this is the very next best thing for someone wanting to do mischief. As soon as they allow a translator to be written with an open/published/documented protocol at the other end. This is exactly what vatsim is trying to avoid by protecting their communication protocols. So anyone could take the vatsimflightgear interface and leverage it to interject any kind of nonsense into the vatsim network.

The flightgear API's are open and you can inspect all the code and structures. Now anyone (good or evil) has a wide open, public, unsecured route into the vatsim network. If some developer gets approved by vatsim and signs the appropriate NDA's and then builds an interface from vatsim to flightgear, then sure, that could be an external 'closed source' application that bridges the communication gap between FlightGear and VATSIM. I think most people would consider this is a good thing. My sense is that there are very few people who would outright oppose a vatsim interface to flightgear. Re: FGPython an propose for Python as an nasal alternative. This means you will be able to see landing lights, flaps, gear and more all animate and switch on/off accurately as the user completes the task across any simulator.- japreja (Dec 30th, 2015). The development team have also worked with vPilot to ensure that information regarding aircraft animation is also exchanged. It should mean regardless of what you’re using, others on the network will see you correctly.

With the online database storing detailed information about all possible AI and flyable models, liveries, aircraft types and airports, it should mean no more model mismatch. Get the full Analytics and market share drilldown here. It will work to bring a cohesive online experience regardless of the platform you’re using or flying on. I don't use flightgear anymore, so I've absolutely no experience with this Helps to connect Flightgear to VATSIM. The swift client has been designed to be a “very powerful client” and easy to use. VATSIM-Flightgear-Bridge NOTAM : A new VATSIM client named swift is now there for all simulators, please use it instead of this.

Further to the compatibility with the modern sims, Windows, Linux and MacOS are also supported. FlightGear has also been included in the mix of supported simulators.

#Flightgear vatsim simulator

It is a brand new client supported by VATSIM, which is cross-compatible with all major flight simulator platforms including Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Lockheed Martin Prepar3D and X-Plane.

After six years of development, the swift client is now available to the public to use.
