  |I made a commit to SimGear that fixes compilation with current OSG sources. Unfortunately, FlightGear doesn't actually work with this OSG due to a bug in the mesh optimizer. If you want to use current OSG, check the osg-submissions mailing list for my fix.

The [[FlightGear]] developers generally release a stable packaged version of FlightGear, with an easy install wizard, about once or twice a year. For convenience, most FlightGear users download and install these packages.

However, the source files used to '''build the whole FlightGear package''' are continuously being developed by dozens of contributors, who collaborate using the source code management system [[Git]] to create a new "unstable" version every few days. If you want to use one of these unstable versions, or tinker with the source files to create your own custom version, the pages below describe how to compile the FlightGear package from the Git source files (repository at [http://www.gitorious.org/fg Gitorious.org]).

If you'd like to use an integrated development environment, illustrated instructions for building FlightGear and its dependencies can be found in [[Howto:Build FlightGear with NetBeans using CMake]], this should work on both, Windows and Linux systems (NetBeans being a cross-platform IDE).
