In July of 2020 I purchased a new "Raspberry Pi" microcomputer. The
model I got was the "4B" with 4GB of memory. I was successful
with Linux Air Combat on that hardware. Since that time I've confirmed
that it also works nicely on 2GB, 8GB and "Model 400" versions. In
Feb2024 we proved that it runs even BETTER on the new Raspberry Pi 5.
Click
on the following video
clips to see exactly how I did it and what it looks like in flight:
The second of those video clips is now a little out of date, but it
provides the best summary of
the flight simulator and what it looks and sounds like on a Raspberry
Pi Model 4b during an online
mission. The newest versions feature some additional cockpit graphic
detail, and the appearance of other online aircraft is smoother, with
motion that is a lot less "jumpy".
Since publishing the first of those video clips, the Raspberry Pi
community and industry have benefitted from newer, more powerful
hardware and updated operating systems, and LAC has been evolving too.
We expect these trends to continue. The latest news about LAC on
Raspberry Pi hardware can always be found in our "LAC on Raspberry Pi"
forum. You will always find the latest installation instructions for
every compatible Raspberry Pi in that forum. Here's the link:
