Part of the initial goals were to develop 2D and 3D graphics routines for the simulator.
#FLIGHTGEAR 3.4.0 CONTROLS SIMULATOR#
The FlightGear project was conceived on Apby David Murr who proposed a new flight simulator to be developed by volunteers.

Also, if using the lastest nightly releases or a self-compiled version of FlightGear from FlightGear's Git version control repositories, using FGAddon allows the aircraft to be updated to the latest development versions. However, as stable releases from FlightGear version 3.4 onwards are tagged and present within the FGAddon repository, the Subversion tools can be a convenient way to obtain individual aircraft or the entire official hangar of approximately 500 aircraft. When using a stable FlightGear release, it is best to obtain aircraft with a matching version number from the FlightGear download pages. The FGAddon aircraft development repository should be considered unstable. These are aircraft that are not part of the base package (the aircraft that are included in the base package - the Cessna 172P and the UFO - are kept in the FGData repository), but are tagged with each stable release for the FlightGear download pages. FGAddon is an Apache Subversion version control repository. The official FGAddon aircraft hangar is a version control repository, hosted on FlightGear's SourceForge infrastructure, and used for the day-to-day development of FlightGear aircraft.
