For FlightGear to run smoothly, it requires a video card with OpenGL drivers. OpenGL 2.0 or higher is required for FlightGear 2.0 and later. Most modern PCs support OpenGL, but if you are having trouble with slow frame-rates, see [[Hardware Recommendations]] for more information. | For FlightGear to run smoothly, it requires a video card with OpenGL drivers.
