Publisher's description
From FlightGear :FlightGear Flight Simulator is an open-source flight simulator created by the FlightGear project. Source code for the entire project is available from a CVS repository and licensed under GNU General Public License (GPL). FlightGear 1.0 was released in December 2007 (v1.0 Gallery). FlightGear has been in the midst of a software architecture transition from PLIB to OSG. The goals of the FlightGear project include creating a sophisticated flight simulator framework for use in research or academic environments, for the development and pursuit of other interesting flight simulation ideas, and as an end-user application. It can be expanded and improved upon by anyone interested in contributing, and has many related projects.

Version: FlightGear 1.0
"Good, 100% free, with great possibilities"
Pros: Many interesting lightweight homebuilt airplanes (Long-EZ, Quickie, Cri-Cri), ultralights and early planes. They all behave differently, as they should.
Cons: You cannot use it on a laptop; you need a standard keyboard or a flying stick. I don't know why engines don't start when plane is on the ground. Graphics are minimal, though adequate.
Summary: As someone formerly involved with the homebuilt movement I love flying all those UL and experimentals.

Pros: It is small and very easy on the system resources.

Version: FlightGear 1.0
Pros: Looks like it could be good if it worked for me.
Cons: Earned the money to pay for flight lessons, took the flight lessons and got a private pilot's license in less time than I spent trying to get this to work on XP. Still won't work.
Summary: Can't get it to run on XP, 2.7 Ghz Intel proccessor, latest Open GL , 64 Mb graphics memory, latest fgrun. Many hours study of available manuals and online resources. Still trying.
