Introduction
FlightGear (http://www.flightgear.org) is an open source flight simulator that is even used in flight schools to train basic maneuvers, radio communication and navigation tasks. It is available for windows, mac and linux.
In this article I want to introduce my development of the Sukhoi SuperJet 100 based on the original aircraft from xsaint Sep from 2011, a user in FlightGear who is not active anymore.
Bug Fixes
Since it was a old aircraft in FlightGear lots of things are not working anymore. The developer has stopped the development in 2011, after one year of working on it. I have fixed all errors and now it is a usable aircraft. Furthermore I made the autopilot and glass cockpit full working and added all animations for multiplayer mode.
New Features
- FDM adjustments
- 3D Model modifications
- Animations added
- Multiplayer animations fixed
- Yasim FDM to current version updated
- Cockpit Autopilot to working stadium modified
- Slats added in the 3D-Model and in the FDM
- New Splash screen and thumbnail
Roadmap
Altitude controller has to be fixed
FDM fine tuning
Livery picture and UV-map need some work
Sound from original aircraft needed
Implementing 3D-sound and multiplayer sound

Thank you for reviewing!
One question: I have now email contact to the original author and I asked for changing the license to GPL.
My message:
I am interested in working on the SSJ.
I had made some significant changes now so that it is in good flight
conditions.
May I change the license to GPL?

Hello friend @schamangerbert, I am trying to resolve some issues in the schools and I have placed the following post to raise funds: https://steemit.com/castellano/@ropavejero/ropavejero-educativo
If it is within your means to support the project, you I would really appreciate it .. A hug
Yes I do! Good work my friend!
danke fürs teilen. Ich finde deine Arbeit sehr interessant und mit deinen Artikeln über das Thema kann ich immer in ein total neues Gebiet eintauchen. Tolle Arbeit!
Danke! Das freut mich sehr!
It is an excellent aircraft whose avionics is largely of French origin (Safran, Thales, Zodiac ...).
Wie du schon im vorletzten Stream gesagt hast, steht die Belohnung in keinem Verhältnis zu der Arbeit die du getan hast(und dann bekommen 5 Codezeilen massive rewards...). Ich verstehs ein bisschen, weil ich auch mit Programmierern von open source code zusammenarbeite(gemeinsam ein Unternehmen gegründet).
Meine Unterstützung hast du!
Ich hab leider den letzten Stream verpasst, beim Nächsten wär ich wieder dabei.
Weiter so!
Ich habe ja 2 1/2 Jahre täglich daran gearbeitet, ohne auch nur einmal an irgendwelche Belohnung zu denken. Utopian ist da wirklich ein Segen. Und jetzt macht es doppelt Spaß :)
Das ist was viele vergessen. Nicht nur bei Opensource-Projekten sondern auch beim Lernen im Allegemeinen.
Wenn jemand sich beschwert, dass man für x Stunden/Minuten Arbeit xyz Euro berechnet. Sollte man ihn einfach darauf hinweisen, dass man auch x Jahre oder xy Monate gebraucht hat um so viel zu lernen, dass man die Arbeit in entsprechender zeit erledigt. :-)
Das ist schon sehr viel Zeit!
Ja beim Programmieren(von open source) ist es eh oft so, dass man ja nur ein Problem lösen und kein Produkt verkaufen will.
Yep, deswegen hol ich grad meine Programmierer hierher :)
open source flight simulator school is great,
i like your all project,
keep it up,
thank you
Grear work dear @schamangerbert!
Wow this indeed is interesting!
i like your sprite as you start right here, where others end there, reopen, correction and debugging. still help in flight gear module.
Beatiful plane ,and good simulator
