It features detailed, texture-mapped scenery, keyboard and -joystick controls, a heads-up display, and optional realistic instrument -panel. A 3-D accelerator card supported by Mesa is highly recommended (3DFX -Voodoo/Voodoo2 and nVIDIA Riva TNT are known to work.) +The FlightGear flight simulator project is an open-source, +multi-platform, cooperative flight simulator development project. +Source code for the entire project is available and licensed under the +GNU General Public License. -WWW: http://www.flightgear.org/ +The goal of the FlightGear project is to create 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. We are developing a +sophisticated, open simulation framework that can be expanded and +improved upon by anyone interested in contributing. + +There are many exciting possibilities for an open, free flight sim. +We hope that this project will be interesting and useful to many +people in many areas. -- Brian Buchanan -brian@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU +WWW: http://www.flightgear.org/ |
