Default Flightgear Opensource Flight sim

Is it any good.

I don't have and won't be getting FSX till I get more RAM.
The planes look quite pretty.

Wow. THey have improved it as of late. Used to be only so so and only available for Linux. I ran some older versions myself, but ones with only limited terrain. It was OK for a native Linux sim, but this looks like a marked improvement!

And its the only flight sim where the runways actually conform to the curvature of the earth.
Microsoft could sure learn something there. :rotfl:
