If you've always been wanting to look into [[HLA]] a bit more and  maybe even start developing HLA based apps that use OpenRTI, you may want to check out the new tutorial titled [[Developing with HLA]]. This is currently work-in-progress and will evolve slowly. The motivation is that the original HLA article only really discusses the overall picture and lists some general HLA tutorials - it doesn't go into FG specifics like OpenRTI or HLA support in SimGear, which we however need to cover to get more people up to scratch with HLA, i.e. 1) building SG/FG with HLA and 2) actually developing with it to partition FG into separate processes.

=== Benchmarks ===
A long time ago, we once had a FG-specific benchmark suite called "FGBenchmark" - meanwhile, a number of end-users and long-term contributors have been talking about re-introducing a form of scriptable benchmark, directly as part of FlightGear itself, using Nasal scripting to recreate certain situations (location, aircraft, rendering settings) in order to gather runtime statistics, but also for better regression testing.
Meanwhile, FlightGear has drastically evolved since the early days of FGBenchmark, so that many of these things can now be accomplished, even without touching the C++ source code. Which is why we have started collecting community feedback on benchmarking FlightGear, discussing possible approaches.
