So if you know about any FlightGear related news or projects such as for example updated scenery or aircraft, please do feel invited to add such news to the newsletter. Core developers are encouraged to add news about their latest work to the newsletter's development section and [[Next Changelog|the changelog of the upcoming release]].

The opentrack project has gained proper, official support for FlightGear! | |||
Please see the [https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/blob/master/README.md readme] for head tracking using multiple trackers: face, inertial Rift/Hydra, marker printed on flat paper, freetrack-like light points. You can use it without Nasal scripts, just with protocol definition. | |||
If you have any issues regarding Linux support, compiling, feature requests and usage, please contact <sthalik at misaki.pl> | |||
Unfortunately due to being understaffed we presently can't offer binary installers for Ubuntu, Debian and the like. Contributions are extremely welcome! | |||
There's also the [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=21029 forum thread] regarding the Linux/Windows software. | |||
