==2010 annual== | |||
2010 was the year in which: | |||
* FlightGear 2.0 was released. | |||
* most of the existing virtual airlines were merged into [[Atlas Virtual Airlines]], making it the largest and by far most active FlightGear based airline. | |||
* shaders started to be used all over the sim, introducing some new graphical eye candy as semi-realistic water reflections, 3D cities. | |||
* the CVS servers broke down after a hardware failure, leading to our move to Git. | |||
* detailed landclassing was created for various locations around the world. | |||
* anaglyphic (3D) was introduced; making FlightGear the first flightsim with built-in 3D support. | |||
