	FlightGear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		FlightGear is a collaborative project that aims to create a sophisticated free software flight simulator framework.
		It is used both as an end-user application and in academic and research environments, for the development and pursuit of flight simulation ideas.
		A multiplayer protocol is available for using FlightGear on a local network in a multi aircraft environment.

	Sharing the Dream of Flight
		The FlightGear project is collaboratively developing a flight simulator under the leadership of Curtis Olson.
		FlightGear aims to do things right, but we don't have an exact mechanical copy of a specific cockpit, a wraparound display, or that huge motion system.
		By inserting it into FlightGear, the research team can ask pilots who are familiar with the problem to evaluate their solution and thus provide direct feedback on the effectiveness of their work.

		FlightGear makes extensive use of the OpenGL z-buffer feature,which on most older SGI hardware is only supported in software.
		In his infinite wisdom the FlightGear Grand Master decided that planes were to valuable to allow them to be destroyed by novice pilots who seemed to crash a lot.
		FlightGear's scenery generation is handled by a sister project, TerraGear.

	FlightGear Flight Simulator
		Ready to run versions of FlightGear are available for many different platforms:
		FlightGear has a seamless, continuous oblate ellipsoid world available for you to explore.
		Those who have slow or expensive network connections can purchase a ready to run version of FlightGear on CD as well as the entire world scenery collection as a 3-DVD set.

		Writing 3rd party extensions for FlightGear (or even directly modifying the FlightGear source code) is straightforward and doesn't require a large amount of reverse engineering.
		FlightGear can track the current computer clock time in order to correctly place the sun, moon, stars, etc. in their current and proper place relative to the earth.
		Instruments that lag in real life, lag correctly in FlightGear, gyro drift is modeled correctly, the magnetic compass is subject to aircraft body forces -- all those things that make real world flying a challenge.

	LinuxDevCenter.com -- Flying the Open Skies with FlightGear
		FlightGear is a flight simulator that boasts surprising technical realism, supported by an equally sophisticated pedigree — several of its active developers work in the aeronautics industry.
		FlightGear is mostly written in C++, but includes some bits and pieces of C code.
		This is big win for people using FlightGear as an academic or research platform, or for those that want to interface it to their own home-built cockpits.

	Using Nasal with FlightGear
		FlightGear will read, parse and execute these files during initialization, and create a module of the same name for use by your scripts.
		It is also rather rarely used by existing FlightGear code (the property picker GUI is the only significant application I could find).
		FlightGear's general inter-module communication mechanism is the property tree, which is exposed from both Nasal and C++ code already.

	USING PCs FOR FLIGHT SIMULATION RESEARCH – THE LCA EXPERIENCE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		FlightGear code is built around PLib another open source project, which provides scenegraph library functions.
		Having accepted the suitability of PCs for use in image generation, the choice of their configuration and graphics cards were based on the software.
		Although FlightGear is presently single-thread code, it is planned to convert it into multiple threads in order to separate the scenery paging and rendering functions.

	FlightGear Documentation Project
		FlightGear is made up of four different components: FlightGear, SimGear, TerraGear, and the base packages.
		FlightGear is the guts of the flight simulator and contains the flight data models (FDMs), builds the terrain, and determines the viewing orientation.
		The 3D model is rotated to properly align with the FlightGear's frame of reference and is added to the scene.

	FlightGear Showcase
		The FlightGear project provides a sophisticated open-source flight simulation development framework.
		FlightGear has good support for interfacing to external/proprietary code via the network.
		You can sync multiple displays via the net, you can run your own proprietary flight dynamics, you can even enable remote "telnet" access to examine and change internal variables remotely as the sim is running.

		FlightGear is an open-source flight sim designed to run on multiple platforms.
		The instructions for installing FlightGear in OS X are generally useful, but those not used to poking around will throw up their hands in frustration because the instruction are not very clear in some areas, and nonexistent in others.
		For the more experienced, there's a flying tutorial that, once FlightGear is installed and running, should have you dancing in the clouds in no time.

	FlightGear CD's (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Having been born in the jungles of Peru, I have seen first-hand how desperately poor much of the world is, especially in comparison to how blessed and privileged we find ourselves here in the USA and Europe and elsewhere.
		To me it seems like a natural extension of the open-source philosophy to not only help our fellow under-privileged computer geeks who are stuck running closed, proprietary software, but to also do something in "real life" that helps people with very basic needs.
		I see this as a way that the FlightGear project can go beyond the virtual world of bits and bytes, and reach out to the real world of starvation, poverty, and disease.
