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.
