About FlightGear

situations, types of weather, seasons, day and night cycle. This includes single-engine

propeller aircraft, large 4-engine passenger liners, experimental aircraft, classic and

vintage aircraft and helicopters.

The FlightGear landscape covers the entire world and is downloaded as you fly. Visit any

of the 20,000 airports with an accurate representation of airport buildings on many of

the larger, international airports.

Most popular flight control hardware, such as yokes and sticks are supported. Multiple

monitor setup and multiplayer is also featured.
