[[File:Hang gliding simulator using FlightGear.jpg|thumb|Hang gliding simulator using FlightGear]] FlightGear is being used to power a hang gliding simulator to be presented on March 8th/9th Next weekend in Bremen at the Passion 2013 sports convention ([http://www.passion-bremen.de/passion/Information]).
The pilot sees the simulation through an Oculus Rift head mounted display ([http://www.oculusvr.com/]). Input is controlled by a joystick that is [http://cognium.de/misc/hgsim2.jpg mounted upside down] to catch user input. The whole simulator runs out of the box with proper command line/config options in FlightGear.
See the [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=19772&start=15 Forum thread] for some details.
