Aviones is a UAV Flight Simulator.
It is developed by the Brigham Young University
Human Centered Machine Intelligence (HCMI) and
Multiple Agent Intelligent Coordination & Control (MAGICC) labs.
It is used for testing auto-pilot code and performing human-factors experiments.
What Aviones Is Not
Aviones is not a game. Someone could probably make a game using it, and feel free to do so, but has
been designed as a research tool. As such, it has a lot of quirks and a lot of pieces that have no
reason to exist outside of a research setting. Since it is open source (GNU GPL) you may do whatever you like
to it as you need.

Why don't I get fancy autopilot code with Aviones?
The autopilot code is under a licensing agreement with a local company and cannot be distributed outside of that agreement.
