Requires OpenScenGraph 2.x and cmake.

Hardware requirements:
Minimum CPU: 1.5 GHz AMD K7 or 2.0 GHz Pentium 4 (Pentium III and PowerPC G4 are too slow).
Minimum memory: 1 GB.
Minimum graphics: 2005 or later, 128MB

Recommend installing OSSIM for ability to render spherical Earth and fetch additional satellite imagery.

Ubuntu users [7.10 Gutsy Gibbon] can download OSSIM binaries from download page.

To build Palomino:

cmake . && make

To build OSSIM and dependencies:

1. Required development packages:

QT4, libcurl, fftw3

apt-get install libcurl-dev # choose gnu if it asks
apt-get install libqt4-dev fftw3-dev

2. If arch command is missing (Debian):

Just make a shell script at /usr/bin/arch:

#!/bin/sh
uname -m

3. Install libgeotiff:

./configure && make && make install
If "__stack_chk_fail_local error":
./configure CFLAGS="-fno-stack-protector"

4. Install GDAL:

./configure && make && make install

5. Install OSSIM:

Get the latest tagged version:
svn ls https://svn.osgeo.org/ossim/tags ossim   # find the latest tagged version
svn export https://svn.osgeo.org/ossim/tags/v1_7_0 ossim   # get the latest tagged version

cd ossim
cd libwms && make && make install
cd ../ossim && ./configure && make && make install
cp -pdv lib/lib* /usr/local/lib
cd ../ossimPlanet && make && make install
cd ../ossim_plugins
rm -rf nui  # won't compile
export OSSIM_HOME=[path to base ossim subdir which is ../ from ossim_plugins]
make make_options && make && make install
cp -pdv lib/lib* /usr/local/lib

6. Configure OSSIM

Download general_raster.tar.gz [large file]
mkdir ~/.ossim
cd ~/.ossim
cp -rpdv ossim_package_support/geoids geoids
cp -rpdv ossim_package_support/images images
cp -rpdv ossim_package_support/fonts fonts
mkdir elevation; cd elevation; tar xfzv general_raster.tar.gz

Running:

By default, if -ossim is passed, the program will fetch satellite imagery from a WMS server. To enable static imagery of the entire world (but low-res), edit data/world.kwl to where you have OSSIM data files installed:

archive0.type: local
archive0.file0: /usr/local/ossim/earth/land_shallow_topo_east_tiled.tif
archive0.file1: /usr/local/ossim/earth/land_shallow_topo_west_tiled.tif

Then to start the simulation at various places on the Earth:

bin/palomino -ossim -llh  33.2   78.1  9000.0  # Himalayas
bin/palomino -ossim -llh  27.0   82.0  1000.0  # India/Nepal
bin/palomino -ossim -llh  22.1   15.3  1500.0  # Sahara
bin/palomino -ossim -llh  37.5 -122.4  1000.0  # SF Bay
bin/palomino -ossim -llh  36.1 -112.1  3500.0  # Grand Canyon
bin/palomino -ossim -llh  27.1  -82.0   200.0  # Florida

4 axis joysticks are supported on Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows.
To enable joystick, pass -j
