If running FlightGear causes system instability or even crashes your whole system, it is important to realize that something really is wrong with your whole system and ''not'' necessarily FlightGear: modern operating systems generally don't allow user space applications to affect system stability. | If running FlightGear causes system instability or even crashes your whole system, it is important to realize that something really is wrong with your whole system and ''not'' necessarily FlightGear: modern operating systems generally don't allow user space applications to affect system stability at all. | ||
So if you are running a modern OS (such as any more recent version of Windows, Mac OS or Linux) and running FlightGear still affects overall system stability in one way or another, something is likely very wrong with your hardware or software setup.
