NAME
        aviator - networked flight simulator

SYNOPSIS
        /usr/games/aviator/bin/aviator

DESCRIPTION
        aviator is an advanced realtime networked flight simulator program for
        the Sun GX family of workstations.  aviator offers highly detailed and
        accurate terrain graphics using USGS data and aircraft dynamics.

OPTIONS
        generic-tool-arguments
                aviator accepts the following generic tool arguments described
                in xview(7):  -Wp -Ws -WP -Wi

FILES
        /usr/games/aviator/bin/aviator
        /usr/games/aviator/craft/*
        /usr/games/aviator/etc/*
        /usr/games/aviator/passwords
        /usr/games/aviator/terrain/*
        /tmp/aviator.0

ENVIRONMENT
        Several environment variables are supported by aviator to customize
        aviator to nonstandard systems.  Normally none of these environment
        variables need to be set:

        AVIATOR_HOME            points to the home directory for aviator, if
                                it is other than /usr/games/aviator.

        AVIATOR_PASSWORDS       points to the file that contains the passwords,
                                if it is not /usr/games/aviator/passwords or
                                ${AVIATOR_HOME}/passwords.

        AVIATOR_CRAFT           points to the craft directory, if it is other
                                than /usr/games/aviator/craft or
                                ${AVIATOR_HOME}/craft.

        AVIATOR_TERRAIN         points to the terrain directory, if it is
                                other than /usr/games/aviator/terrain or
                                ${AVIATOR_HOME}/terrain.

        AVIATOR_INTERFACE       is the name of the interface that supports
                                broadcasting (ethernet or FDDI).

        AVIATOR_DEVICE          is the name of the graphics device if other
                                than console.  Defaults to /dev/fb.

EXAMPLES
        The first example executes aviator from shell script, the second
        executes aviator and should be placed in the ~/.openwin-init file,
        and the third make aviator full screen if there is excessive window
        system color flashing.

                /usr/games/aviator/bin/aviator
                toolwait /usr/games/aviator/bin/aviator -WP 800 0 -Wi
                /usr/games/aviator/bin/aviator -Wp 5 26 -Ws 1142 869

        The following are examples of how to set the environment variables:

                setenv AVIATOR_HOME      /home/bigdisk/aviator
                setenv AVIATOR_PASSWORDS /home/bigdisk/aviator/passwords
                setenv AVIATOR_CRAFT     /home/bigdisk/aviator/craft
                setenv AVIATOR_TERRAIN   /home/bigdisk/aviator/terrain
                setenv AVIATOR_INTERFACE le0
                setenv AVIATOR_DEVICE    /dev/cgsix0
