To celebrate Yury Gagarin's historical flight, [[Vostok-1]] carrier and spacecraft were added to FlightGear. In heavy development still, it already allows full orbital flight from lift-off to landing, making it perform the first spaceflight in FlightGear. | To celebrate Yury Gagarin's historical flight, [[Vostok-1]] carrier and spacecraft were added to FlightGear.

*[[JSBSim]] centrifugal force addition made the whole flight available. | *[[JSBSim]] centrifugal force addition made the whole flight available. | ||
*JSBSim property driven point masses, tanks and engines, and aerodynamic coefficients implementation allow stages changing. Each single stage of the flight has an independent mass scheme, propulsion system, and aerodynamics reactions, so simulation is more or less realistic. | *JSBSim property driven point masses, tanks and engines, and aerodynamic coefficients implementation allow stages changing.
