 You have probably come here to learn more about implementing new features for FlightGear.
-Often, implementing new ideas and features doesn't necessarily require C++ knowledge, FlightGear has become so flexible and powerful that it is increasingly configurable even without touching the C++ source code. This is an important advantage, because building FG from source and finding your away around two fairly complex code bases can be a daunting task, even for experienced C++ developers.
+Often, implementing new ideas and features doesn't necessarily require C++ knowledge, FlightGear has become so flexible and powerful that it is increasingly configurable even without touching the C++ source code. This is an important advantage, because building FG from source and finding your away around two fairly complex code bases (i.e. [[SimGear]] and [[FlightGear]]) can be a daunting task, even for experienced C++ developers.
 This isn't to say that C++ / programming knowledge wouldn't be useful though. And if that's where your interests are, you are certainly invited to contribute to the C++ code, too.
