Welcome to programs you help, be part of, contribute to

It is a great GPL'd flight simulator (the main trust of the a article).

Here is an answer to the first two posts.

The first post.

  1. Didn't do a good test

  2. Has cool aircraft. Goto the site and check it out. The download aircraft section

  3. You can start in the air, just read the directions. There are front ends to make the startup easier, like KFreeFlight.

  4. It is plenty fast. It runs on a 600Mhz machine with a decient 3D card (MS et al require that as well and more)



Second Post

  1. The article was not a comparison, just about Flight Gear. Big deal. Considering it is on linux.com.... and article about a windows only product MS Flight Simulator...get real.

  2. yep x-plane is cool, if you want to spend the money.

  3. In the true spirit or Open Source Software. Help make it better. Get involved.

  4. Fair-quality, but in the dark ages, can we say oxymoron here.



Go out try it. It is free. Help make it better. Make up your own mind.
