Connecting JSBSim to an external visualization engine, like FlightGear or Unreal Engine, via UDP sockets to watch your simulated aircraft fly in real time.

JSBSim is used across many industries as a reliable simulation core, primarily because it's a physics and math model framework intended for any moving aerospace craft. It serves as the heart of many projects, including:

You can add an block to your script or aircraft file to generate a CSV file containing airspeed, altitude, and positions:
