'''FlightGear''' flight simulator is a sophisticated free, completely open-source flight simulator framework, created by volunteers of the FlightGear project.


The project was started in 1996, with the first release in 1997. The latest public release is [[FlightGear 1.0 feature showcase|1.0.0]] in December 2007, with specific builds for a variety of operating systems including Microsoft Windows (Win 32), Mac OS X, Linux, IRIX, and Solaris. (see [[http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/ FlightGear Download Central])

===FlightGear dependencies===
===FlightGear dependencies===
Unlike commercial software titles, the main output of the project is simply the release of a collection of code. To turn it into a usable program it must be compiled for a given platform. The software libraries used to create FlightGear have varied over time. The main one is [[SimGear]], which is the underlying sim engine for FlightGear. [[TerraGear]] is not a dependency, but simply a name for the default terrain data program in FlightGear. OpenAL is used for sound/audio software, including support for SDL (since 0.9.5). PLIB is used for hardware support routines, formerly used for sound support also which was taken over by OpenAL. [[OpenGL]] is used for its integrated 3D graphics routines, and other hardware acceleration (namely DirectX) is not supported. [[OpenSceneGraph\\ is also integrated into FlightGear. Finally, [[Simple DirectMedia Layer]] is a software library which is used for compiling. Some of the dependencies vary depending on which platform the code is being compiled for. FlightGear users must either compile the code themselves, or find a third party to release a binary, if it is not among the ones available from the project.
