While new FlightGear features and additions are in development, they are available from CVS before they are available in the standard release version. Using CVS allows a user to build the newest possible version of FlightGear from the latest source files, to experiment with new aircraft or other features. However, it's not a beginner's tool. Using CVS can expose the user to unstable features that show ugly error messages, or crash the computer. Fortunately, very few of FlightGear's advanced features require CVS.

Due to a hardware failure, the CVS servers of the FlightGear source and data repository are currently down. As a result, many links on this or other pages describing the built of FlightGear from CVS are obsolete. Some highly skilled people are currently working on a substitute for the CVS system and it is already complete. Repository at: Gitorious.org
