Fgx is an Open Source graphical launcher application for FlightGear Flight Simulator that is built using Qt from Nokia. Development began in the first quarter of 2011 with the purpose of creating a fast and easy to use tool to manage your FlightGear preferences and to start the flight simulator application.
While initial development targeted the Apple Mac architecture, the Qt development environment allows for cross-platform compatibility between Windows, Mac OS and various Linux distributions. At this time, it has only been tested on Mac, CentOS 5.5 i386 and Fedora 14 i386.
