The ACM Flight Simulator

[ndujoe1]

I downloaded this simulator from :

http://www.icosaedro.it/acm/download.html

Tried to compile and run it.

I am using Puppy 2.15CE.

I started ./configure, the process when for awhile then this error was reported :

"Your system does not support either random() or rand().

Do I need to compile this with something other than C++ ?

Thanks.

Give this a shot. I compiled and (briefly) tested. I didn't read the instructions, but found Page Up and Page Down are throttle and the mouse controlled the yoke.

P.S. I am not sure of exactly if any additional libraries are needed if any, as my Puppy has alot already installed.

Thanks for your efforts, much appreciated.

I ran the program it started I selected the options I liked. It began and then a segmentation error occured.

Try running the following from the terminal :

ldd /usr/local/bin/acm

and see if there are any missing libraries.

Per your instruction I ran the console command :

Here are the results:

ldd /usr/local/bin/acm
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0xb7ef0000)

libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7cb5000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f04000

all greek to me, but willing to learn the functions described.

I discovered a few thing and go to the finish line. Per the home page I changed the video depth to 800 x 600 x 24 instead of 800 x 600 x 16.

In the configure menu I turned off:

show initial splash screen
enable sound effects
Use DIS protocol ( drones )

I wanted to just learn to fly only anyway.

the simulator started without errors.

No to stay alive as I leave the ground.
