FlightGear

If you like flight simulators, you should try out FlightGear (see Figure 8.9). It is cross platform, sophisticated, and fun. It is completely open source and developed by volunteers, but it’s also very professional looking and smooth. If you like this, you can also try others, such as Thunder and Lightning, GL-117, and Search and Rescue II.
