# It allows us to split out parts of the simulator such as the FDM and Renderer from each other and less time-critical sub-systems such as weather so that we can get consistent (and perhaps higher) frame-rates. | # It allows us to split out parts of the simulator such as the [[FDM]] and Renderer from each other and less time-critical sub-systems such as [[Advanced weather|weather]] so that we can get consistent (and perhaps higher) frame-rates. | ||

Stuart has started work on re-architecting FlightGear to use HLA, though this is expected to be a multi-year project. Anyone interested in the current status of development should subscribe to the Flightgear -devel mailing list. | Stuart has started work on re-architecting parts of FlightGear to use HLA, though this is expected to be a multi-year project.
