| Note As of 2014-05-08 (and since few months) the HTML version is broken. If you still need that format, an older version is still available: The FlightGear Manual - For FlightGear version 2.0.0. |
"The Manual"
This piece of documentation aims at being printed onto paper and being read as a reference while you're exploring FlightGear - or simply taken with you on a long trip.
Contributing
If you are a skilled writer and a little bit familiar with LaTex, please take the time to dig into the PDF or HTML version. Instructions on how to get the source code are below.
It lies in the nature of FlightGear development that The Manual is always a bit behind current development. We invite you to pick information from
- your personal experience with FlightGear
- the available README's in the FlightGear source tree or the Base Package or
- the Wiki
and merge these into an appealing shape for The Manual. Turn your head to the FlightGear developers' mailing list and you'll find someone to talk about how to improve The Manual.
You'll find contacts of current maintainers in the Manual itself.
Source code
You'll find the source code here, at the FlightGear Git repository.
