Here's a pretty impressive Flight Simulator called Flight Gear. It's Free/Open Source

Software. Has loads of aircraft and scenery. Windows, Mac OS 10 and most Unix flavors

including BSD, Sparc, Irix and several Linux Distros.

You can buy boxed sets and printed manuals if you want too.



I haven't yet tried it, but I did d/l and install it on a Fedora 10 machine. Started

and ran, seems pretty cool but I am no flight Sim expert.

"Wall Street -- including the banking sector -- is burning itself

down. The fire is fueled by panic -- the final stage in a decline of

confidence -- and can only be put out by measures that restore

confidence. ... But President Obama -- having first claimed that

only government can solve the economic problems -- is failing to

provide any solutions Wall Street can believe in."

I know Flight Gear since 1998, Paul. At the time its authors wanted to get Austin Meyer, the creator of X-Plane, in a joint venture where Meyer made the flight model and Flight Gear, the scenery. But it never came to something, Mr. Meyer is a gifted but maverick programmer.
	


Good to hear they are still in business. Let us know how you find the simulator.
