FlightGear Controller (fgctrl) is a project to create a flight yoke and control panel, for flying with FlightGear, a free software flight simulator.

  • Works like a USB Joystick (from PC's perspective).
  • Designed for propeller planes.
  • 4-axis (Alieron, Elevator, Throttle, Flaps).
  • 10-button (Brake, Battery, Starter, Fuel Pump, Lights, Fuel Tank, Magnetos).
  • Powered by AVR Microcontroller.
  • Only nasal script-based configuration was required from FlightGear side. (No painful recompilation)
  • Tested with FlightGear 1.0.0
Though a complete prototype has been build, complete documentation and build instruction is not yet finished. However, you may browse or download project's source code and schematic diagram via Hg repository.
