The next branch has in-development aircraft. Aircraft project updates since last LTS listed in changelogs are updated by the launcher before flying the moment they are available, and are often available for the previous LTS if compatible.Multiple release streams: Long Term Stable (LTS), development previews, and nightly builds.

Some aspects of the sim presentation, features, and project itself may go against gamey software practices/norms. Being open-source, the sim has received development form the science and engineering community. It's more of a Linux-type scientific software. The project is a bit different from "arcade" commercial flight simulations and flight games. It's used professionally for research and development, and is available for home desktop or DiY project users. The rest are available through 3rd party hangars or from development repositories. It also simulates space flight in Earth's orbit.įlightGear's flight dynamics engine (JSBSim) is used in a 2015 NASA benchmark to judge new simulation code to the standards of the space industry.įlightGear 2020.3 has over 700 aircraft and spacecraft projects that can be filtered by advancement level in art/FDM/systems in the launcher's browser. FlightGear Flight Simulator is a free, open-source, multi-platform, cooperative flight simulator development project made by.
