Essential Downloads:

  • download SOURCE zip file JavaFlight.zip (700Kb)
    This file contains complete source code, compiled .class files and run-time libraries vrml97.jar and portfolio.jar


  • download DATA zip file JavaFlightObjects.zip (1.3Mb)
    This file contains plane model, and a single DEM file


  • download and install JRE or JDK 1.3.1_01 or later from java.sun.com
    If you plan to compile Java code, download JDK (and may be Forte). If you plan just to run provided compiled code, JRE is sufficient


  • download and install Java3D from java.sun.com

  • use Release DirectX distribution, it works faster than OpenGL in most cases

  • create a folder and unzip both SOURCE and DATA zip files into this folder

  • I use D:\Projects to hold JavaFlight and JavaFlightObjects subfolders

  • go to JavaFlight subfolder and click on "run.bat"

  • you will hopefully see an MSDOS window with bunch of numbers, and after a 2-3 minutes delay - initial screen as on Screenshots page. The delay is due to first-time DEM processing (and converting into a much faster cache file). Refer to the Docs page for flight instructions.

  • Note: vrml97.jar and portfolio.jar are third-party libraries, included in JavaFlight.zip for your convenience. Feel free to go to their source for downloads.


  • See Documentation page for Quick Start instructions and plane control
