FlightGear: Open Source Flight Simulator
----------------------------------------

FlightGear is a free flight simulator project. It is being developed through the
gracious contributions of source code and spare time by many talented people from
around the globe. Among the many goals of this project are the quest to minimize
short cuts and "do things right", the quest to learn and advance knowledge, and
the quest to have better toys to play with.

The idea for Flight Gear was born out of a dissatisfaction with current commercial
PC flight simulators. A big problem with these simulators is their proprietariness
and lack of extensibility. There are so many people across the world with great
ideas for enhancing the currently available simulators who have the ability to
write code, and who have a desire to learn and contribute. Many people involved in
education and research could use a spiffy flight simulator frame work on which to
build their own projects; however, commercial simulators do not lend themselves to
modification and enhancement. The Flight Gear project is striving to fill these
gaps.
