Linux Air Combat
DESCRIPTION
Combat Flight Simulator for WW2, available on LINUX . Current Version: 9.44. Free. This is now the world's leading open-source combat flight sim for LINUX.
LINUX AIR COMBAT was derived from the well-known "gl-117" game, after a huge re-write. Focus is changed from arcade gaming to simulation. Runs on almost any LINUX desktop system (even Steam Deck and Raspberry Pi) and generates very smooth, high-performance flight.
Fly any of 54 WW2 planes in offline tutorial missions or in one of 10 multi-player Internet missions on a free Server.
Smooth, simple 3d graphics on any display hardware supporting opengl.
Precompiled executable in "AppImage" format eliminates compiling on most LINUX distros. Just download and run!
Easy option to compile from source code.
Joystick, Console Game Controller, or mouse as primary flight controls.
Powerful text & voice comms.
(Video below is long, but fun and instructive for beginners. Combat begins at 17 minute point.)
