The Most Realistic Flight Simulator Ever...?
FLIGHTGEAR 2009
20,000 Real Airports | 200+ Real Aircraft | Compatible with Windows 98 / 2000 / XP / Vista | 4 x Windows DVD
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 20,000 of the worlds airports,
extensive scenery packs as well as support for over 200+ 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 & Timezones
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.
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, A380
* Fokker
50, 100
* Spitefire, Hurricane,BF109
* Helicopter,
Paragliders
* Much much more
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.
Extensive and
Accurate World Scenery Data Base
* Over 20,000 real world airports
included in the full scenery set.
* Correct runway markings and placement,
correct runway and approach lighting.
* Taxiways available for many larger
airports
* Sloping runways (runways change
elevation like they usually do in real life.)
* Directional airport lighting
* Full World scenery fits on 4 DVD's.
* Detailed coverage of the entire world.
* Accurate Worldwide terrain.
* Scenery includes all map lakes,
rivers, roads, railroads, cities, towns, land etc.
* Nice scenery night lighting with
ground lighting concentrated in urban areas.
Flexible
and Open Aircraft Modeling System
FlightGear has the ability to model a wide variety of aircraft.
Currently you can fly the 1903 Wright Flyer, strange flapping wing
"ornithopters", a 747 and A320, various military jets, and several
light singles. FlightGear has the ability to model those aircraft and
just about everything in between.
FlightGear has extremely smooth and fluid instrument animation that
updates at the same rate as your out-the-window view updates (i.e. as
fast as your computer can crank, and not artificially limited and
chunky like in some sims.)
FlightGear has the infrastructure to allow aircraft designers to build
fully animated, fully operational, fully interactive 3D cockpits (which
even update and display correctly from external chase plane views.)
FlightGear realistically models real world instrument behaviour.
Hardware
requirements
It
requires a reasonable hardware accelerated 3D card to achieve smooth
frame rates. On a 2-3Ghz class CPU with a GeForce card, frame
rates in
excess of 60 fps are reasonable to expect in most situations. The
actual frame rate varies of course with scene complexity (which changes
from area to area and changes as your view direction changes) and the
specific details of your hardware.
* 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.
* Program requires about 230 MB free disk space. Scenery and aircraft
require 13GB space (but can also be run direct from the discs).
* 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.
Networking
options
A number of networking options allow FlightGear to communicate with
other instances of FlightGear, GPS receivers, external flight dynamics
modules, external autopilot or control modules, as well as other
software such as the Open Glass Cockpit project and the Atlas mapping
utility.
A generic input/output option allows for a user defined output protocol
to a file, serial port or network client. A multi player
protocol is available for using FlightGear on a local network in a
multi aircraft environment, for example to practice formation flight or
for tower simulation purposes.
The powerful network options make it possible to synchronize several
instances of FlightGear allowing for a multi-display, or even a cave
environment. If all instances are running at the same frame rate
consistently, it is possible to get extremely good and tight
synchronization between displays.
