FlightGear - Flight Simulator Reviews

A wonderful flight simulator with a wide range of aircraft and really beautiful scenery. It's quite challenging for a beginner to come familiar with the program, but with a bit ambition you can enjoy this great flight sim. Another aspect: Anyone can contribute to the project and so anyone can help making FlightGear better. Big thanks to all people, who have contributed to FlightGear, this is an awesome piece of work!

FlightGear is a fantastic flight simulator with a huge variety of excellent aircraft, beautiful scenery, and realistic flight dynamics. It can be tricky to install, configure, and run, but the fun of it makes this effort well worth your time.

For the average gamer in search of such a simulation, installation of this is an exercise in frustration. One thing after another was required to make the binary, and there is nothing in the install document that adequately instructs a user on a stock user-friendly Linux distro about what is needed. There are a collection of readme files, as if they are afterthoughts, but little reference to them. Maybe when this is more refined and dependencies more easily met, the average gamer might be more interested. Otherwise, I don't see this moving out of the serious Linux geek arena.

Great free sim with a lots of possibility.

best free flight simulator in the world..

Honestly, most of these Open Source games are a disappointment. I think the game be widely tested, have open source, several contributors and be cross-platform, it's a game, at least functional. I do not say stable for all platforms, but with a **minimal functionality**. I downloaded a HUGE file, 1 GB, and the game just did not work. To a file of this size, you should have the good sense to create an application to test the configuration BEFORE the user download 1 GB and receive an error message. Another disappointing fact was the installer ask me to disable my anti-virus. I will not do. I'll never shut off my security to install software in test stage. -------- Sinceramente, a maioria desses jogos Open Source são uma decepção.Espera-se que, pelo fado de o jogo ser amplamente testado, ter o código aberto, vários contribuidores e ser multiplataforma, que seja um jogo, no mínimo, funcional. Não digo estável para todas as plataformas, mas com uma **funcionalidade mínima**. Baixei um arquivo ENORME, 1 GB, e o jogo simplesmente não funcionou. Pra um arquivo desse tamanho, vocês deveriam ter o bom senso de criar um aplicativo para testar a configuração ANTES de o jogador baixar 1 GB e receber uma mensagem de erro. Outro fato decepcionante foi o instalador pedir para eu desativar o meu anti-virus. Jamais farei. Nunca desabilitarei meus softwares de segurança para instalar um software em estágio beta.

Absolutely fantastic sim!

Awesome Sim!

It's amazing.

Eu adoro o FlightGear! I love FlightGear, great work!
