The core FlightGear source code itself is largely written in C++, some C and a bunch of helper scripts. FlightGear is based on OpenGL (NOT DirectX !), OSG (OpenSceneGraph) and OpenAL (for sound). An increasing number of features are implemented in scripting space, using a high level scripting language called [[Nasal]], Nasal scripts are maintained in the fgdata repository and available at runtime under ($FG_ROOT). | The core FlightGear source code itself is largely written in C++, some C and a bunch of helper scripts.
