I'm using [[FlightGear]] since July 2012 (suggested by a friend) when I downloaded the 2.6 version. At first I have used only the [[Cessna 172P]], flying randomly at [[KSFO]]. When I understood how to install the aircrafts, haven't been able to stop using FG. In my opinion it is the best flight simulator ever made: it is free, it's open-source, it's realistic, constantly under development,... all the characteristics that a program like FG must have to be popular and very used. I'm using FlightGear version 2.10.0.3 on a Windows 7 laptop and FlightGear version 3.2 on an iMac with OS X 10.6.8. Recently I am involved in developing airports such as [[LIPA]], [[ETAR]], [[FJDG]], [[LIPQ]], [[LIBV]], EGOD, [[LPLA]], [[EGVA]], EGUL, EGUN, [[ETAD]], PGUA and others. | I'm using [[FlightGear]] since July 2012 (suggested by a friend) when I downloaded the 2.6 version.
