.TH FGCOM 1 2017-06-04 FlightGear "FlightGear man pages"
.SH NAME
fgcom \- VoIP client for the FlightGear radio infrastructure
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBfgcom\fR [\fB\-\-server=\fIserver\fR] [\fB\-\-host=\fIlisteninghost\fR]
[\fB\-\-port=\fIport\fR] [\fB\-\-callsign=\fIcallsign\fR]
[\fB\-\-frequency=\fIfrequency\fR] [\fB\-\-atis=\fIfrequency\fR]
[\fB\-\-airport=\fIcode\fR] [\fB\-\-username=\fIuser\fR]
[\fB\-\-password=\fIpass\fR] [\fB\-\-silence\-threshold=\fIthreshold\fR]
[\fB\-\-debug\fR] [\fB\-\-help\fR] [\fB\-\-version\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B fgcom
is the FlightGear utility used for connecting to multiplayer voice servers.
.PP
It is usually not necessary to run
.B fgcom
from the command line, as it is already integrated into FlightGear, with the
exception of a few specific cases (such as recording ATIS messages or
performing a radio check, see the
.B EXAMPLE
section).
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-\-server=\fIserver\fR
Connect to the FGCom server \fIserver\fR. By default, FGCom tries to connect to
\fBfgcom.flightgear.org\fR.
.TP
\fB\-\-host=\fIlisteninghost\fR, \fB\-\-port=\fIport\fR
Listen on the network interface having the IP address \fIlisteninghost\fR, on
port \fIport\fR. By default, FGCom listens on the loopback interface
(\fB127.0.0.1\fR) on port \fB16661\fR.
The specified port can be used by an instance of FlightGear to communicate with
FGCom and update the pilot position as they fly.
.TP
\fB\-\-callsign=\fIcallsign\fR
Use the callsign \fIcallsign\fR during the session. By default, FGCom uses
\fBguest\fR as callsign.
.TP
\fB\-\-frequency=\fIfrequency\fR
Set the active radio frequency to \fIfrequency\fR. The frequency must be
written in the format \fIxxx.xxx\fR and must be given in MHz.
.TP
\fB\-\-atis=\fIfrequency\fR
Record an ATIS message on \fIfrequency\fR MHz. The frequency must be written in
the format \fIxxx.xxx\fR and must be given in MHz.
.TP
\fB\-\-airport=\fIcode\fR
Position the pilot/controller to the airport having the ICAO code \fIcode\fR.
Since some radio frequencies might be reused across the world, it is essential
to set the pilot/controller position correctly to make the FGCom server able to
determine the correct voice channel. Always use this flag if you are not
connecting a FlightGear instance to FGCom.
.TP
\fB\-\-username=\fIuser\fR, \fB\-\-password=\fIpass\fR
Log in to the FGCom server using the username \fIuser\fR and the password
\fIpass\fR.
.TP
\fB\-\-silence-threshold=\fIthreshold\fR
Set the silence threshold to \fIthreshold\fR dB. The value must be between
\fB-60\fR and \fB0\fR. The default is \fB-35.0\fR dB.
The silence threshold is the level below which the sound captured by the
microphone is considered background noise (and, thus, filtered out by FGCom).
Setting the silence threshold to \fB-60\fR turns the filter off; setting it
to \fB0\fR filters everything (mutes the microphone).
.TP
\fB\-\-debug\fR
Enable debug output for troubleshooting purposes.
.TP
\fB\-\-help\fR
Display usage information and exit.
.TP
\fB\-\-version\fR
Display the FGCom version and exit.
.SH "EXIT STATUS"
.B fgcom
exits with
.B EXIT_SUCCESS
on success, with
.B EXIT_FAILURE
if the syntax of the command-line arguments is wrong or an error occurs.
.SH NOTES
FGCom understands several special frequencies used for testing purposes or
general chatting:
.IP \(bu 3
\fB121.000 MHz\fR, \fB121.500 MHz\fR: "guard" frequencies reserved for
emergency communications;
.IP \(bu 3
\fB123.450 MHz\fR, \fB123.500 MHz\fR, \fB122.750 MHz\fR: general chat
frequencies;
.IP \(bu 3
\fB700.000 MHz\fR: radio station frequency. Depending on the FGCom server in
use, a recorded radio message will be played;
.IP \(bu 3
\fB723.340 MHz\fR: French Air Patrol communication frequency;
.IP \(bu 3
\fB910.000 MHz\fR: echo test frequency. Your voice will be echoed back after a
short delay, to allow you to check that your microphone, speakers/headset and
that your connection to the FGCom server works. The test is limited to a
maximum of 65 seconds, after which you will be automatically disconnected;
.IP \(bu 3
\fB911.000 MHz\fR: "music on hold". The frequency continuously plays background
music, allowing you to check that your connection to the FGCom server works.
.SH BUGS
.IP \(bu 3
At the time of writing, there is no mechanism in place to update the
frequencies used by FGCom with the ones used in the real world, should those
change. The former, thus, might not always correspond to the latter. Always use
the frequencies listed in FlightGear under \fBAI\fR -> \fBATC Services in
Range\fR instead of the ones published on aeronautical charts.
.SH EXAMPLE
Connect to the default FGCom server, switch to the San Francisco International
Airport (\fIKSFO\fR) ground frequency (\fI121.800 MHz\fR) and allow FlightGear
to update the current pilot position by sending it to port \fI16661\fR (the
default one):
$ \fBfgcom --frequency=121.800 --airport=KSFO\fR
Perform a radio check by connecting to the echo test frequency:
$ \fBfgcom --frequency=910.000\fR
Record an ATIS message on the San Francisco International Airport (\fIKSFO\fR)
ATIS frequency (\fI118.850 MHz\fR):
$ \fBfgcom --atis=118.850 --airport=KSFO\fR

.TH FGELEV 1 2017-06-04 FlightGear "FlightGear man pages"
.SH NAME
fgelev \- Compute FlightGear scenery elevation for a given list of points
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBfgelev\fR [\fB\-\-expire\fR \fInum\fR] [\fB\-\-print\-solidness\fR]
[\fB\-\-fg\-root\fR \fIrootdir\fR] [\fB\-\-fg\-scenery\fR \fIscenerydir\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B fgelev
is a standalone utility that, given a list of points on standard input, prints
the corresponding elevation for each of them on standard output. It can also
(optionally) print whether the material covering that point is solid or not.
The list of points must be in the following form:
\fIid lon lat\fR
where \fIid\fR is an arbitrary identifier for the point, \fIlon\fR is the
longitude of the point and \fIlat\fR is the latitude of the point. Positive
longitudes (latitudes) correspond to points located in the Eastern (Northern)
hemisphere; negative ones correspond to points located in the Western
(Southern) hemisphere.
The list of elevations returned by
.B fgelev
is in the following form:
\fIid: elev solid\fR
where \fIid\fR is the identifier of the point passed as input, \fIelev\fR is
the elevation of the point in meters (or \fB-1000\fR if the elevation of the
given point was not found) and \fIsolid\fR is:
.IP \(bu 3
the string
.B solid
if the parameter
.B \-\-print\-solidness
was passed to
.B fgelev
and the material covering the point is solid;
.IP \(bu 3
the string
.B \-
if the parameter
.B \-\-print\-solidness
was passed to
.B fgelev
and the material covering the point is not solid;
.IP \(bu 3
absent if the parameter
.B \-\-print\-solidness
was not passed to \fBfgelev\fR.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-\-expire\fR \fInum\fR
To speed up elevation data retrieval,
.B fgelev
uses an internal cache. This option lets the user specify the number of
requests after which, if a point was not queried in them, it should be marked
as expired. By default,
.B fgelev
expires points not queried in the last \fB10\fR requests.
.TP
\fB\-\-print\-solidness\fR
Require
.B fgelev
to print the solidness of the material covering the queried point. See the
.B DESCRIPTION
section for more details.
.TP
\fB\-\-fg\-root\fR \fIrootdir\fR
Set the FlightGear data root directory (\fB$FG_ROOT\fR) to \fIrootdir\fR. If
this option is not set,
.B fgelev
uses the path specified in the
.B FG_ROOT
environment variable or, absent that, the FlightGear data directory chosen at
the time the program was compiled.
.TP
\fB\-\-fg\-scenery\fR \fIscenerydir\fR
Set the FlightGear scenery directory (\fB$FG_SCENERY\fR) to \fIscenerydir\fR.
If this option is not set,
.B fgelev
uses the path specified in the
.B FG_SCENERY
environment variable or, absent that, the
.B Scenery
subdirectory inside \fB$FG_ROOT\fR.
.SH "EXIT STATUS"
.B fgelev
exits with
.B EXIT_SUCCESS
on success, with
.B EXIT_FAILURE
if it is unable to read data from standard input or to load the scenery.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.IP "\fBFG_ROOT\fR" 4
If
.B FG_ROOT
is set and
.B \-\-fg\-root
is not set, it specifies the root data directory to use.
.IP "\fBFG_SCENERY\fR" 4
If
.B FG_SCENERY
is set and
.B \-\-fg\-scenery
is not set, it specifies the scenery directory to use.

.SH NAME
fgfs \- the FlightGear flight simulator
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBfgfs\fR [\fIoptions...\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B fgfs
is the main executable for FlightGear, a free, open-source, multi-platform and
sophisticated flight simulator framework for the development and pursuit of
interesting flight simulator ideas.
.SH OPTIONS
Options are first read from the command-line arguments passed to \fBfgfs\fR.
The program then checks for the existence of \fI~/.fgfsrc.\fIhostname\fR (where
.I hostname
is the hostname of the machine) and of \fI~/.fgfsrc\fR; if at least one of
those files exists, it is read and parsed (see the
.BR fgfsrc (5)
man page for the full specifications of the file format).
If conflicting options are given, the ones read last will prevail.
.SS "General options"
.TP
\fB\-\-help\fR, \fB\-h\fR
Display usage information about the most relevant command-line options and
exit.
.TP
\fB\-\-verbose\fR, \fB\-v\fR

all command-line options, not just the most relevant ones.
.TP
\fB\-\-version\fR
Display version information about
.B fgfs
and some of the libraries used by the program (SimGear, OpenSceneGraph, PLIB),
then exit.
.TP
\fB\-\-fg\-root=\fIpath\fR
Set the FlightGear data root directory (\fB$FG_ROOT\fR) to \fIpath\fR. If this
option is not set,

the time the program was compiled.
.TP
\fB\-\-fg\-scenery=\fIpath\fR
Set the FlightGear scenery directories (\fB$FG_SCENERY\fR) to \fIpath\fR.
You can specify multiple directories by separating them with colons (\fB:\fR),
as in \fI/first/path\fB:\fI/second/path\fR (on Microsoft Windows operating
systems, multiple paths should be separated by semicolons instead): in that
case,
.B fgfs
will follow the order the paths are written in to search for scenery files,
stopping as soon as a match is found.
If this option is not set,
.B fgfs
uses the path specified in the
.B FG_SCENERY
environment variable or, absent that, the
.B Scenery
subdirectory inside \fB$FG_ROOT\fR.
.TP
\fB\-\-fg\-aircraft=\fIpath\fR
Load additional aircraft from \fIpath\fR besides the
.B Aircraft
subdirectory inside \fB$FG_ROOT\fR. Alternatively, you can use

Windows operating systems).
By default, Nasal scripts are allowed to read data only from \fB$FG_ROOT\fR
and \fB$FG_HOME\fR, as a security measure.
.TP
\fB\-\-read\-only\fR
Make \fB$FG_HOME\fR (the location where user-specific FlightGear data is
stored) read-only.
.TP
\fB\-\-language=\fIcode\fR
Set the language used by the simulator to \fIcode\fR, where \fIcode\fR is an
ISO 639-1 two-letter locale code (for example, \fBen\fR or \fBit\fR).
.TP
\fB\-\-restore\-defaults\fR
Reset all user settings to their defaults.
.TP
\fB\-\-enable\-save\-on\-exit\fR, \fB\-\-disable\-save\-on\-exit\fR
Save/do not save user settings when the program exits.
.TP
\fB\-\-ignore\-autosave\fR
Ignore the user settings saved the previous time FlightGear was run. This
option implies \fB\-\-disable\-save\-on\-exit\fR.
.TP

Load additional configuration directives from \fIpath\fR. The file should be
follow the format described in
.BR fgfsrc (5).
.TP
\fB\-\-no\-default\-config\fR
Do not load any configuration files unless they were explicitly specified with
\fB\-\-config\fR.
.TP
\fB\-\-units\-feet\fR
Use feet as the internal measure unit for distances.
.TP
\fB\-\-units\-meters\fR
Use meters as the internal measure unit for distances.
.TP
\fB\-\-console\fR
Display a console window for simulator/aircraft debugging purposes.
This option is recognized only on Microsoft Windows operating systems; on
other systems, debug messages are always printed to standard output/standard
error.
.TP

.SH NAME
fgjs \- FlightGear joystick utility
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBfgjs\fR [\fB\-\-help\fR] [\fB\-\-fg\-root=\fIrootdir\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B fgjs
is a joystick utility for the FlightGear flight simulator which allows you to
generate a configuration file for your joystick interactively.
To use it, launch the program with your joystick(s) connected. The utility will
first prompt you to move each joystick around in the \fIdead band\fR, that is,
the area where it is centered and should not generate any input. Afterwards,
you will be asked to move the control/push the button you would like to use for
each function.
The configuration will be saved in the current working directory in several
files named \fIjsI.xml\fR, where \fII\fR is the progressive number assigned to
each detected joystick. You will need to move them to
.I ~/.fgfs/Input/Joysticks
for them to be used by FlightGear.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-\-help\fR
Display usage information and exit.
.TP
\fB\-\-fg\-root=\fIrootdir\fR
Set the FlightGear data root directory (\fB$FG_ROOT\fR) to \fIrootdir\fR.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.IP "\fBFG_ROOT\fR" 4
If
.B FG_ROOT
is set and
.B \-\-fg\-root
is not set, it specifies the root data directory to use.
.SH FILES
.IP "\fI~/.fgfsrc.hostname\fR, \fI~/.fgfsrc\fR" 4
Configuration files containing command-line options for
.BR fgfs (1).
The
.B \-\-fg\-root
command-line option is searched there if it is not passed as a command-line
argument to \fBfgjs\fR.

.TH FGFSRC 5 2017-05-28 FlightGear "FlightGear man pages"
.SH NAME
fgfsrc \- FlightGear command-line options file
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B fgfsrc
is a file containing command-line options read by
.BR fgfs (1)
at startup. This file is meant for those people who do not use a graphical
launcher to run the simulator, so that they will be able to specify most
preferences that do not change often there (for example, custom
scenery/aircraft locations or screen size options), and only those frequently
modified (like the starting airport) on the command line.
The file must be in plain-text format and ASCII-encoded. It must contain one or
more command-line options listed in
.BR fgfs (1);
each option must be given on a separate line.
If the first non-whitespace character in a line is an octothorpe (\fB#\fR),
.BR fgfs (1)
treats the line as a comment and ignores it. Comments should not be added after
an option, because that might cause the simulator to fail under some conditions
(notably, when the command-line argument given on the line is of the form
\fB\-\-prop=\fR).
Variables in paths, like
.B $HOME
or \fB$FG_HOME\fR, are not expanded.
.SH FILES
.IP "\fI~/.fgfsrc.hostname\fR, \fI~/.fgfsrc\fR" 4
Configuration files containing command-line options for
.BR fgfs (1).
The simulator parses command-line arguments first, then
\fI~/.fgfsrc.hostname\fR (where
.I hostname
is the hostname of the machine) and then \fI~/.fgfsrc\fR, if they exist, in
that order.
.SH EXAMPLE
The following example configuration file synchronizes the simulator clock with
the local real-world time, loads real-world weather data, sets the window size
to 1024x768 and enables random scenery objects and AI traffic:
.nf
\-\-time\-match\-local
\-\-enable\-real\-weather\-fetch
\-\-geometry=1024x768
\-\-enable\-random\-objects
\-\-enable\-ai\-traffic
