FlightGear, Vatsim and Linux

Postby KeithHadden » Sun Jun 08, 2014 7:08 am

Having done some fairly extensive searching I can find no straightforward way to connect FlightGear to Vatsim under a Linux OS.

Prior to installing a Desktop PC I was running FG on a Windows laptop and was happily flying on Vatsim with SquawkGear and friends.

It appears that the best solution for Linux users is to run sb747 and avc on a Windows machine and link the two. How is this done, I can find no documentation on how to do this. If anyone can point me to relevant documentation I would appreciate it. Or even better, let me know of a cleaner solution.

Thanking you in advance.

Hello
help me configure Vatsim for FlightGear. Using the newest FG version (installed april 2018), OS: Mint 17.3 (based on Ubuntu 14.04). FG works perfectly, but can't download Squawkgear from https://squawkgear.wordpress.com/ (the zipped file is unavailable) nor can't find any other soft to connect with Vatsim. I don't want 747, prefer Cessnas 300, 400, 500 series. Please help :)
