Complete, Professional Flight Simulator

The latest release of the FlightGear simulator for Windows is here, and bring a fantastic range of features at a very affordable price! FlightGear is a sophisticated, dynamic and ultra-realistic flight simulator experience. The simulator offers a huge degree of freedom to explore, along with a comprehensive range of terrain and aircraft. Real-life locations and airports are available for your use! Whether you fly by day or night you will be amazed at the depth and realism this flight simulator has to offer.

Accurate and Detailed Sky Model

  • Extremely accurate time of day modelling with correctly placed sun, moon, stars, and planets for the specified time and date.
  • If it’s dawn in Sydney right now, it’s dawn in the sim right now when you locate yourself in virtual Sydney.
  • The sun, moon, stars, and planets all follow their correct courses through the sky.
  • Full support for seasonal effects such as 24-hours sunlight in the Arctic circle in summer time.

Realistic Scenery

  • Correct runway markings and placement, correct runway and approach lighting.
  • Taxiways available for many larger airports (even including the green centre line lights when appropriate.)
  • Sloping runways (runways often change in elevation in real-life)
  • Directional airport lighting that smoothly changes intensity as your relative view direction changes.
  • Fantastic scenery night lighting with ground lighting concentrated in urban areas (based on real maps).
  • Headlights visible on major highways during the night. This allows for realistic night VFR flying with the ability to spot towns and cities and follow roads.
  • Scenery tiles are paged (loaded/unloaded) in a separate thread to minimize the frame rate hit when you need to load new areas.

Advanced Aircraft Modelling System

  • Fly the 1903 Wright Flyer, strange flapping wing “ornithopters”, a 747 and A320, various military jets, and several light singles. The simulator can model those aircraft and just about everything in between.
  • Extremely smooth and fluid instrument animation that updates at the same rate as your out-the-window view updates.
  • Realistic instrument behavior.
    • Instruments that lag in real life, lag correctly in the simulator
    • Gyro drift is modeled correctly
    • Magnetic compass is subject to aircraft body forces
    • Everything that makes real world flying a challenge!
  • FlightGear also accurately models many instrument and system failures. If the vacuum system fails, the HSI gyros spin down slowly with a corresponding degradation in response as well as a slowly increasing bias/error.

Multi-Player & Networking

  • FlightGear can communicate with other instances of FlightGear, GPS receivers, external flight dynamics modules, external autopilot or control modules.
  • A multi player system is available for using FlightGear on a local network in a multi-aircraft environment, for example to practice formation flight or for tower simulation purposes.
  • Powerful network options make it possible to synchronize several instances of FlightGear allowing for a multi-display, or even a cave environment. If all instances are running at the same frame rate consistently, it is possible to get extremely good and tight synchronization between displays.
