FlightGear itself uses the decentralized source code management system "git": http://wiki.flightgear.org/Git | 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. | ||
The core FlightGear source code itself is largely written in C++, some C and a bunch of helper scripts. FlightGear is based on OpenGL (NOT DirectX !), OSG (OpenSceneGraph) and OpenAL (for sound). And increasing number of features are implemented in scripting space, using a high level scripting language called [[Nasal]], Nasal scripts are maintained in the base package ($FG_ROOT). | |||
