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's open architecture can be expanded and improved by anyone interested in [[Volunteer|contributing]]. The complete project source code is available via [[CVS]], freely licensed under the [[GNU General Public License]].
