FlightGear is a sophisticated, realistic flight-simulator, created entirely by volunteers, and released as free, open-source GPL software, available for download here. FlightGear is flexible enough to have a graphical user interface on the outside, suitable for real-life pilot training (or as a realistic "game"), as well as realistic flight model equations on the inside, accurate enough for scientific research.
FlightGear can be expanded and improved by anyone interested in contributing. The complete project source code is available via CVS, freely licensed under the GNU General Public License. FlightGear's open architecture encourages exploring related flight simulator concepts, and has inspired a number of related projects.
FlightGear comes with a set of illustrated documentation, notably "The Manual", which is available as PDF and HTML.
FlightGear version 1.9.1 was released in January 2009.
