January 17, 2006 - New world scenery (v0.9.10)!
FlightGear has a seamless, continuous oblate ellipsoid world available for you to explore. Our terrain is based on 90m SRTM data and is very detailed. There are over 20,000 airports you can visit world wide. You can download 10x10 degree chunks of the world, run a utility called terrasync to fetch scenery as you fly (just in time), or purchase the entire world on a 3 DVD set.

Go to the scenery download map.

Download Source Code

Here's the best part. Every line of source code for this project is available under the GPL license. Cockpit builders, researchers, do-it-yourselfers, industry groups, and students will all find FlightGear very open, very flexible, very adaptable, and very interfacable.

Go to the source code download page.

FTP Mirrors

In the event that the primary FlightGear server is busy or slow we have a number of ftp mirror sites. Note: many web browsers will report a failed login rather than a busy server.

FlightGear CD and DVD sets

Those who have slow or expensive network connections can purchase a ready to run version of FlightGear on CD as well as the entire world scenery collection as a 3-DVD set. A portion of the CD sales goes towards supporting the project and a portion is donated to charity.

Purchase a FlightGear CD or DVD set.
