How do I play FlightGear in Debian with a small keyboard?

Ok, I have downloaded and installed FlightGear-2020.3.19-x86_64.AppImage, FlightGear-2020.3.19-data.txz, and FlightGear-2020.3.19-update-data.txz, and the 230 page user's manual getstart-en.pdf dated on March 15, 2024.

I'll have to return later to tell you how it worked out.

I am not suggesting that we're terrible at helping you out with this, but I will point out that FlightGear has an active community and forum.

While looking at the project (I've considered it in the past but just don't want to devote the time to it), I did see that, of all the things, Windows is actually poorly supported. Linux is well supported. The BSD family is also well supported. Windows? Yeah, they don't even get an updated version and have to install the 32 bit version before they can install the 64 bit version - which isn't supported on any modern Windows version.

That made me chuckle.

But, anyhow, they have an active forum. They might be able to help you more than we can.
 
@KGIII :-

That was going to be MY next suggestion, too, David. While I was willing to try and help as far as I could, modern flight simulators - as I've stated before - are resource-hungry beasts. They also require a high level of dedication and 'time-served' to get the best out of them.

It's beyond what we can offer here. The FlightGear forum would be of far more help to Matthew.

That's how I got FlightGear flight simulator up and running from the help and information from the FlightGear flight simulator forums.

FlightGear flight simulator is a good flight simulator for free.

For all of the effort it takes to get it up and running it's a disappoint when compared to other flight simulators which install and run OOTB.

FWIW.
X-Plane has a flight simulator that runs on Linux although it's as big of a PITA to setup and run on Linux as FlightGear flight simulator is.

I'm not meaning to bad mouth FlightGear although let's face it when it comes to enjoying something like Flight Simulators nothing should be that hard to setup and run imo.
 
I have downloaded all of the scenery for the whole world and the aircraft from Aircraft-2020 from their web site. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to get the game to absorb all of it. It's a work in progress. I just don't understand why I only get like four frames per second when the game uses less than ten percent of the total CPU resources on my computer and uses multiple threads. It could use at least twice as much even if it was only using one CPU core. There may be a problem with their catalog.xml file on their web site which could be confusing the game. I used wget to grab all of these files, and then had to go back and study the man page after using over 60 GB of Internet data to learn more about how to correctly use wget. That's a big web site.

Most flight simulators a very graphics intensive and require a bad a$$ graphics card.

My experience running flight simulators is that most of them if not all of them will bring most computers to there knees so to speak.

The scenery rendering alone depending on settings will eat up a lot of system resources graphics wise.

Some of the gamers I know have a small fortune tied up in their gaming computers but it's what they live for.

I know the last time I checked about FlightGear you needed to have a pretty good graphics card to get any FPS from it.

FlightGear system requirements.
flight.fandom.com

FlightGear Flight Simulator 2020.3 LTS/FlightGear 2020.3 hardware requirements discussion

System requirements are a complicated topic. FlightGear supports a larger range of hardware than normally expected - as FlightGear is an opensource scientific and engineering software historically from the Linux community, and is run on non-gaming (e.g. weak GPU or laptop) hardware in research...
flight.fandom.com flight.fandom.com

Been many years since I messed with FlightGear flight simulator.

Maybe one of these days I build a killer kick a$$ computer and maybe give it another go.

Good luck with it. :)

I have a nephew who is unable to become a pilot in the military. (He'd still be eligible for his private license and folks have been trying to urge him into at least getting his license.)

(He has allergies that prevent him from serving, despite his best efforts. His dad, my dad, even even I served, so it is a point of pride for him that he can't have.)

So, he plays flight sims...

He's got like a keyboard and a half dozen external keypads (that's not kidding). He has a joystick that costs as much as a used car. His system is an absolute beast. He even has VR capabilities.

The sims he does involve a bunch of people including someone playing as flight control.

The various keypads all represent the myriad controls found inside modern planes and the sim is so specific that it understands all of that. Just the joystick has more buttons than a modern race car's steering wheel.

His graphics card cost more than a couple of my most recent laptops. He stays on the bleeding edge of hardware just to play these sims (not games, I guess) at the highest level.

(He works in HVAC and lives with his parents. He has ample money to do this.)

He can even land at an airport that's not far away and fly over my house - but my area doesn't have updated satellite images so it doesn't appear. (I'm really, really remote.)
 
I know flight simulator folks that have a local club.

They have built fight cages equipped with everything one would see in a the cockpit of a Cessna sky hawk.

Besides all of the instrumentation of the cockpit the cage is equipped with with several servo motors for actual movement.

These cages were built by several of the club members and are really neat.

I don't belong to the club as I don't want to spend the time or the cost to belong.

I like flying flight simulators and it would be neat to use a cage now and then although more than I want to get involved with.

My brother and I were all about flight simulators and were always going to build our own flight cage.

We even sent away for the plans for one cage although both of us with wives and families we never got around to doing so.

My flight simulator towers are from the days of Windows XP and Windows Vista both still running Flight Simulator X.

I won't dwell on it, but I can understand. I ordered a professional flight sim about a week ago. It should be here in the middle of March. I spent stupid money on it.

I can understand their drive, which is what I'm going for. If you're going to simulate things, you want it to be as close to the real experience as it can. One of the setups I saw recently (while researching to make my purchase) was a pretty sweet setup that resembled a big rig.

Yup... The dude's passion was driving big rigs I suppose. He had spent a bunch of time and money on it.

Meh... I used to play Sim Ants and T-Train, so I can't really say anything negative.

I've recently, finally, jumped back into gaming, but this is already off topic.

To get back on topic, I skimmed and didn't notice. Does OP have a solid graphics card? I know that it was pegging a CPU but is the graphics card modern and not a bottleneck?

I tried recording a screen video of the game play, but it didn't quite go as expected. I recorded it at 30 fps, but somehow it got screwed up so it didn't quite capture 30 frames per second. It moves forward in time a little faster. The actual game play looks much like this though. I start the game and it starts on the ground without scenery. I need to tell it to move to the airport. Then it's like someone glued my tires to the ground so I can't move. I tried using the brakes and switching the parking brake without effect. I tried using the left and right wheel locks without effect. I get around four frames per second when the game is running. This even effects text on XTerm, but only when the game is on, and even while the game is paused. My computer has plenty of active RAM and CPU power available, but the screen updates make everything except the mouse jumpy. The game is impossible to play like this. Perhaps I'll need that download after all. What I have right now is a useless mess. I can't fly the plane like this. Here's a link to the screen video: https://drive.proton.me/urls/J2ANPX2KC0#shajzeVwBaWx

Other screen videos seem to work just fine. I don't know why this one didn't.

Going by this link the OP appears to have a decent enough graphics card although don't know what kind of hardware specs he has.
 
How do I find out what kind of graphics hardware I have? I played microsoft flight simulator 5 on a 80486 at 100 MHz a long time ago and it worked better that FlightGear. I'm currently using an Intel i5 quad-core at I think around 3.4 GHz now. Only one CPU was running at less than 40% to run the game. The game uses multiple threads. It would show less than 10% of the total CPU power in the machine. Recording the video took more CPU power than the game was using. Ok, according to /proc/cpuinfo it has 4 cores using i5-3570 at 3.40 GHz. I don't see anything about the video hardware. Ok, system settings -> system information says I'm using a Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics 2500, whatever that means.

According to your posted processor you have Intel® HD Graphics 2500 unless you are using a discrete graphics card.

Run
Code: 
inxi -Fxz
and post the output.
 
I don't appear to have an inxi command. Should I try running something else instead?

Hmm... Many of us have inxi installed, so I made that assumption. My bad... It's not a default application for most distros.

You can use sudo lshw -short and that should tell you what your graphics are under the 'display' entry.

They suggest you use sudo for the command but you won't really need to for this information.

A system that's similar to what I suspect you'll have will have an output that looks like:

/0/100/2 /dev/fb0 display HD Graphics 530

You can then use your favorite search engine to learn more about it.

Something like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=HD+Graphics+530
 
The first command is the one I'd use if you want to post your system specs on the forum.

It will hide some of personal information like Mac Address and serial numbers..

Code: 
sudo lshw -sanitize > lshw.txt

Code: 
sudo lshw > lshw.txt

Either one will create a nice folder in your Home file.

Just in relation to the question of finding information on the graphics hardware, the following programs may be able to provide some relevant info. There's a bit of overlap in the outputs but each does have it's own uniqueness. It's a non-exhaustive listing.

Make, model, kernel driver, kernel modules, vendor product code.
Code: 
lspci -nnk |grep -A3 -i vga

Product, vendor, capabilities, configuration. (Use root for optimal output).
Code: 
lshw -C display

Make, model, driver, chip ID, API info, etc.
Code: 
inxi -Gxxx
inxi -v 8 | awk '/Graphics:/,/Audio:/'

For xorg, timings, clocks, modes, horizontal and vertical refresh rates.
Code: 
less Xorg.0.log


Graphics card memory, dedicated and available.
Code: 
dmesg | grep -i vram
glxinfo -B | grep -i "video memory"

OpenGL and GLX implementation info:
Code: 
glxinfo -B

Resolution, vertical refresh rate, brightness, gamma, socket connections.
Code: 
xrandr --verbose

Temperature, voltages.
Code: 
sensors

Cpu% and memory% usage is available as it's updated in glances.
Code: 
glances

Lists codecs that card can decode.
Code:

Yep you've the same processor and graphics processor I have and for most stuff it's okay and it will run some basic games but don't expect any high FPS from it.

Flight Simulators require a good high powered discrete graphics card to get any FPS etc.

Is your PC one of these.
