FlightGear is multi-platform software, that runs on all major versions of MS Windows, Mac OS and Linux. That means, the FlightGear source code also needs to be written and maintained with cross-platform considerations in mind. | FlightGear is multi-platform software, that runs on all major versions of MS Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
