NAME

       JSBSim - standalone version of the JSBSim open source flight dynamics model

SYNOPSIS

       JSBSim <script filename> <output filenames> <options>

DESCRIPTION

       JSBSim  is  a  standalone  version  of the JSBSim open source flight dynamics model library that, given a
       script file, runs the simulation and outputs the results to one or more files.

OPTIONS

       --help Display usage information and exit.

       --version
              Display the JSBSim version number and exit.

       --outputlogfile=filename
              Output the processed data to filename.

       --logdirectivefile=filename
              Use the data logging directives specified in filename.  This  option  may  be  specified  multiple
              times.

       --root=path
              Use  path as the JSBSim root directory (the directory where the aircraft model resides, containing
              the aircraft, engine... subdirectories).

       --aircraft=filename
              Use the aircraft model specified in filename.

       --script=filename
              Run the simulation script specified in filename.

              This option is incompatible with --catalog.

       --realtime
              Run the simulation in actual real world time.

       --nice[=sleep period]
              Reduce CPU usage by pausing the simulation between frames for sleep period nanoseconds.  If  sleep
              period is not given, it is set to 0.01 nanoseconds.

       --nohighlight
              Do not colorize the output.

       --suspend
              Suspend the simulation after initializing it.

       --initfile=filename
              Use the initialization file filename.

       --catalog[=aircraft]
              Print all properties for the aircraft model (aircraft, if the model name is passed as an argument,
              or for the model loaded via the initialization file).

              This option is incompatible with --script.

       --property=name=value
              Set the property named name to value.

       --simulation-rate=rate
              Set the simulation rate (dT) to rate. If rate is less than 1, it is interpreted  as  a  time  step
              size in seconds; otherwise, it is interpreted as a rate in Hertz.

       --end=time
              Set the simulation end time to time.

EXIT STATUS

       JSBSim  exits  with 0 on success, with 1 if the syntax of the command-line arguments is wrong or an error
       occurs.
