Install FlightGear just like you would do on any other system. Make sure to have the corresponding FlightGear data folder and some [[Howto: Install scenery|scenery data]] if you are not flying on-line using [[TerraSync]], what I strongly suggest to do. | Install FlightGear just like you would do on any other system.

I came up with the idea of using multiple (old) computers I collected during the last years because I hated the idea of having PCs dusting around without using them. As I like the idea of giving them a new mission it's sometimes somewhat tricky to gain the necessary performance depending on the hardware. So I try to get as much performance out of the old machines as possible. I dont see any needs for fancy eye candy on a PC who's job it is just to bring an instrument panel to the screen.<br> | I came up with the idea of using multiple (old) computers I collected during the last years because I hated the idea of having PCs dusting around without using them.

* Until now I was only able to use the 2D panel of the default aircraft Cessna 172 independent of what aircraft I start with. In times of 3D cockpits it seems not very easy to find fresh 2D panels. | * Until now I was only able to use the 2D panel of the default aircraft Cessna 172 independent of what aircraft I start with.
