Balsa to Foam
A Jack of All Planes!!!
I have been looking and I havn't found one. I've tried slope soaring sim but still don't know how to install it! Any help or directins to a different sim would be awesome. Thanks!
Simulator for Linux mint?

It's a little overkill, but I use a scale sim called flightgear for linux (I'm running Gentoo). http://www.flightgear.org/ It's great, and with Tower view zoomed in, you can approximate flying RC LOS... with a Boeing 777, if you want. If you get into APM, you can even use flightgear as the hardware in the loop sim:

Revisiting this thread since I recently joined the Charles River Radio Controllers club and realized they had a member written simulator that runs on Win/MacOSX/Linux!

I'm running gentoo, and there's even an ebuild for it! games-simulation/crrcsim

I joined because of this thread lol. I also use Linux mint, just updated to 17 recently. Never knew ther were sims for Linux. I will have to try that crrcsim. I have a strong dislike for Wine but may try Picasim also.
Edit...guess I better hurry up and buy that new radio, don't have one anymore. Sold all my rc equipment about 15 years ago..

A lot of guys run Wine for gaming and it seems to work well for them, I don't like it myself but I don't like runnint anything Windows related on my PC as you can still get maleware from Windows programs running though Wine even though for the most part they have no effect on Linux. But if someone specifically packages a Linux effecting virus into the Windows program you could have issues.

And for those interested, CRRCSIM is in the Linux Mint 17 repositiries in synaptic package manager.
