Flight Simulator in Linux

Dedicated flight simulator build (using X-Plane 9 & 10 and whatever else I can get on here)

Hardware

Cheapest list of things I could throw together.

Software

  • Base install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server
  • Get video working with AMD/ATI APU
    • XFCE Install:
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get upgrade
      sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
    • Install latest AMD/ATI Catalyst Driver
    • Install
      wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.zip
      unzip amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.zip
      chmod 755 amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run
      sudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run
    • Reboot now that we have AMD drivers installed
  • Hook up yoke and throttles, etc…
  • Get sound working
  • Install X-Plane
