Fly the Friendly Open Skies For Free

Well, the simulated skies anyway. FlightGear is an open-source, multi-platform flight simulator. Highly configurable, FlightGear even allows you to choose from different flight dynamic models. There are numerous official scenery packs, aircraft, and the userbase generates a large amount of downloadable content as well.

The launcher can be somewhat picky sometimes, and the terrain somewhat sparse (without the massive scenery packs anyway), but for such a detailed sim with fairly moderate system requirements, FlightGear deserves a look.

I personally had to proxy through to the site, but that’s cause Qwest DSL sucks.

I WOULD love this game til the end of all time… if the website was working.

Or even maybe if some one hosted me a download ;)

Hadn’t heard of this, might try it later. Nice to see stuff like this get covered on TIGSource.

As far as I remember scenery for the whole world there is about 13Gb so that might be the largest free game ever. :)

Did you cover VDrift here? It’s a pretty nice racing sim. http://vdrift.net/
