This flight simulator software offers a sophisticated, dynamic and realistic flight simulator experience with a high degree of freedom and accuracy.
If you're after a professional, fully detailed flight simulator with support for over 25,000 of the worlds airports, extensive scenery packs as well as support for over 90+
different planes from Concordes, F16's, Migs, Boeing 747s and much much
more. Then this software will be the perfect solution to all your
problems. 100% Freedom, Amazing Scenery & Sophisticated
Sky Model With Real Time Weather, Seasons & TimezonesThis software implements extremely accurate time of day modeling
with correctly placed sun, moon, stars, and planets for the specified
time and date. It can track the current computer clock time in order to
correctly place the sun, moon, stars, etc. in their current and proper
place relative to the earth. If it's dawn in Sydney right now, it's dawn in the sim right now when you locate yourself in virtual Sydney. |
The
sun, moon, stars, and planets all follow their correct courses through
the sky. This modeling alsocorrectly takes into account seasonal
effects so you have 24 hour days north of the arctic circle in the
summer, etc. So What's Included? Which Planes Are Available ? There
is an ever growing number of planes available to use with this
simulator and although there are too many to list to get a general idea
of which planes are available take a look at the list below:- Concorde
- F15, F16, Migs
- B49, B52 Bombers
- Harrier Jumpjet
- Boeing 707,747,777
- Airbus A300, A320
- Fokker 50, 100
- Spitefire, Hurricane,BF109
- Helicopter, Paragliders
- Much much more


HUGE RANGE OF AIRCRAFT Choose from a range of 90+ aircraft to fly available for the simulator: Fly Planes, Helicopters and glider. eg Concorde, 747, A300, Harrier, Spitfire, Hurricane, F16, Mig 15 and many more. 
EXTENSIVE DATABASE OF AIRPORTS * Over 25,000 real world airports are available to the simulator. * Correct runway markings and placement, correct runway and approach lighting. * Taxiways available for many larger airports * Sloping runways * Directional airport lighting that smoothly changes intensity as your relative view direction changes 
ACCURATE WORLD SCENERY * Accurate terrain worldwide, based on the most recently released SRTM terrain data.) * Scenery includes all major lakes, rivers, roads, railroads, cities, towns, land cover, etc.
* Nice scenery night lighting with ground lighting concentrated in
urban areas (based on real maps) and headlights visible on major
highways. This allows for realistic night VFR flying with the ability
to spot towns and cities and follow roads. * Scenery tiles are
paged (loaded/unloaded) in a separate thread to minimize the frame rate
hit when you need to load new areas. 
ACCURATE NIGHT SKIES
This flight simulator uses extremely accurate time of day modeling
with correctly placed sun, moon, stars, and planets for the specified
time and date. FlightGear can track the current computer clock time in
order to correctly place the sun, moon, stars, etc. in their current
and proper place relative to the earth. If it's dawn in Sydney right now, it's dawn in the sim right now when you locate yourself in virtual Sydney. The sun, moon, stars, and planets all follow their correct courses
through the sky. This modeling also correctly takes into account
seasonal effects so you have 24 hour days north of the arctic circle in
the summer, etc. We
also illuminate the correctly placed moon with the correctly placed sun
to get the correct phase of the moon for the current time/date, just like in real life.
What Are The System Requirements? * Runs on Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/XP/NT/Vista * 512 MB Ram Minimum Recommended (more Ram will give better performance) *
In addition, a Good Graphics card for best performance should be used.
A good graphics card will reduce jerky screens & make for a smooth
flying experience. * Requires about 200 MB free disk space. * You don't necessarily need a high end $3000 (USD) worth of new hardware like you do with the many of the newest games. *
Obviously, this game performs best with a good graphics card, high
processor speed, and good amount of ram. The actual gameplay may vary
based on your systems exact specifications. Summary of Features - Over 25,000+ real world airports available to use in your simulator.
- Correct runway markings and placement, correct runway and approach lighting.
- Taxiways available for many larger airports (even including the green center line lights when appropriate.)
- Sloping runways (runways change elevation like they usually do in real life.)
- Directional airport lighting that smoothly changes intensity as your relative view direction changes.
- Accurate terrain worldwide,
based on the most recently released SRTM terrain data.) 3 arc second
resolution (about 90m post spacing) for North and South America,
Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
- Scenery includes all vmap0 lakes, rivers, roads, railroads, cities, towns, land cover, etc.
- Nice scenery night lighting
with ground lighting concentrated in urban areas (based on real maps)
and headlights visible on major highways. This allows for realistic
night VFR flying with the ability to spot towns and cities and follow
roads.
- Scenery tiles are paged (loaded/unloaded) in a separate thread to minimize the frame rate hit when you need to load new areas.
