In the BlueSky repository, the following folders can be found:

• bluesky: This folder contains the python files of the simulator

  • core: This folder contains the core of the simulator. For example, managing the simulation time, the traffic arrays (change length when aircraft are created/deleted), loading plugins, ... etc.
  • navdatabase: In this folder the navigation databases are loaded and managed (waypoints, airports, ... etc.).
  • network: This folder contains python files that manage the nodes/servers and sending data to the different parts.
  • simulation: In this folder the data is send from the simulation to the graphics part (screenio.py) and the the simulation is performed, i.e. start, stop, performing a step (simulation.py).
  • stack: These python files process the commands.
  • test: -
  • tools: This folder contains tools used within BlueSky, e.g. ISA calculations.
  • traffic: In this folder all calculation for the air traffic is performed.
  • ui: From this folder everything related to the graphics is managed.

• data: This folder contains the data needed for the simulation (e.g. navigation data, cache, performance).

• docs: This folder contains some BlueSky documentation.

• extra: -

• output: In this folder the outputs of the simulation are stored (data logging).

• plugins: This folder contains the BlueSky plugins.

• scenario: This folder contains the scenario files.

• utils: This folder contains some miscellaneous python files (e.g. creating scenarios).

• (venv): When a virtual environment is created, this is stored in this folder.
