LinuxTag 2009

[Image:Linuxtag2009_1.jpg|thumb|200px|A view of the FlightGear stand]] The 2009 edition of the LinuxTag has been concluded and the Flightgear hangar was there full of aircraft and pilots ! First of all I can say you could easily spot our stand since it seemed to me the most popular one, the idea to take a free virtual flight coupled with a free flight instructor was like honey for bears. Furthermore the hardware was impressive, 2 flight stations with 3 big monitors each and real leverage were worth a try ! You could even track your flight through a projected mapserver on the wall.
