Welcome to the developer portal

Please visit our forum if you cannot find what you're looking for.
 
 

Get involved!

If you would like to help with FlightGear's development, it's a good idea to subscribe yourself to the FlightGear development mailing list. Use the list or the FlightGear issue tracker to get in touch with fellow FlightGear core developers.

Visit Category:Core development projects to see a list of currently ongoing projects! See Category:Developer Plans to see a list of developer plans for the upcoming release.

See request for comments for a list of long-standing issues and challenges affecting FlightGear's evolution and overall development progress (admittedly a little outdated meanwhile).

Wanted: interview candidates

Every month we try to include an interview with a contributor in the FlightGear Newsletter. Anyone contributing to FlightGear, in whatever way, is welcome to answer a bunch of questions and write his/her own interview.

More info at FlightGear Newsletter: Interview.
