About

What is FlightGear?

FlightGear 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. FlightGear runs on many different platforms including Windows, Linux, Mac OS-X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and IRIX.

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.

What is FlightGear Live?

FlightGear Live is a bootable live system on CD (or any bootable medium) that boots into Linux, with FlightGear setup, ready to run. No installation is required. It does not touch your harddisk at all.

Current version of FlightGear Live is created using the Morphix framework.

FlightGear Live is currently created and maintained by Pigeon <pigeon at pigeond dot net>
