CRRCsim 0.9.9

Crrcsim is a model-airplane flight simulation program. Using it, you can learn how to fly model aircraft, test new aircraft designs, and improve your skills by practicing on your computer.

It rules! The flight model is very realistic. The flight model parameters are calculated based on a 3D representation of the aircraft. Stalls are properly modelled as well. Model control is possible with your own rc transmitter, or any input devicesuch as keyboard, mouse, joystick ...

Here are some key features of "CRRCsim":

· Open source
· Runs on GNU/Linux, Mac OSX (ppc and rosetta compatible) and Windows (98/2000/XP)
· 3D representation of the aircraft
· Very realistic flight model
· Nice graphics if you have a 3D accelerator card

Great variety of how tcontrol the model:
· Use your R/C transmitter (connected tthe parallel port, tthe serial port via an "FMS PIC"-style cable or simply tyour sound card's audiinput)
· Mouse
· Joystick
· Keyboard
· Autopilot

Requirements:

· SDL

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· GNU autotools support: CRRCsim can be built using the standard ./configure && make install procedure.
· Changed airplane description file format to allow a ControlSurfaceAnimation to be controlled by more than one control input (e.g. for elevons).
· Fixed Windows installer: some of the documentation was missing.
· FMSPIC interface code cleanup, added /dev/ttyUSBx interfaces.
· Included patch from Tom Willis (3D preview in aircraft selection dialog). This was later requested by an anonymous user as Feature Request item #1930079.
· Conversion of audio interface code to Portaudio 19. The code will now work with both Portaudio 18 and 19. ./configure will auto-detect and use the installed version. (done)
· New transmitter interface "ZhenHua" for Walkera transmitters on the serial port.
· Removed dependency on GLUT and gle.
· New pop-up console to display system messages.
· The audio input device for the AUDIO interface can now be selected in the controls dialog. More robust support for hotplugged audio d...
