FlightGear has a number of subsystems which cannot currently be disabled, so that they are always running because their initialization is entirely hard-coded. However, many of these systems are not always required and their initialization should be optional, | FlightGear has a number of subsystems which cannot currently be disabled, so that they are always running because their initialization is entirely hard-coded.

On the one hand, running subsystems which are not required may eat up computing resources that could be better used for different purposes/subsystems (i.e. to improve the frame rate), on the other hand - it is becoming increasingly difficult to reset and re-initialize the simulator properly, due to the number of subsystems which cannot be easily restarted. | On the one hand, running subsystems which are not required may eat up computing resources that could be better used for different purposes/subsystems (i.e. to improve the frame rate), on the other hand - it is becoming increasingly difficult to reset and re-initialize the simulator properly, due to the number of subsystems which cannot be easily restarted: [[Reset & re-init]]. | ||
Also, it is currently next to impossible to use FlightGear for purposes other than the primary purpose, i.e. "simulation", because the FlightGear initialization code works such that it always assumes that there's a full simulator running, including ALL the subsystems like FDM, autopilot, sound, scenery etc. | Also, it is currently next to impossible to use FlightGear for purposes other than the primary purpose, i.e. "simulation", because the FlightGear initialization code works such that it always assumes that there's a full simulator running, including ALL the subsystems like FDM, autopilot, sound, scenery etc. | ||
