Zero Ai, ATC none exscitence,, NO Flight / Crash detections, Horrible Configeration ..ect ect ect
Only thing decence with FlightGear is the Globo it will take about aobut 60+ gigs to instal lever thing as well. it also has decent preformance, but the game looks like crap even on max settings
FlightGear is awesome because everyone has the freedom to improve everything, and you'll get the sim with the best license. No one needs to build everything from scratch to distribute a nice plane, and this is why you'll find a great ATR 72-500 FMS in FlightGear.

X-Plane is awesome because you'll find better graphics (for now) and very high quality add-ons but it's proprietary software, and as you can see, for the ATR add-on, there's still no custom FMS although it's payware. They use the default X-Plane FMS:

Happy flying.
Always nice to read these helpful tips here on Steam! Now we also know that open source sucks thanks to your well formed thoughts!
Not sure if Laminar has made a wise decision to go to Steam.
Saying "open source is better because anyone can improve it" is equally wrong, though. That requires that a) the project is well-maintained by a core group who can guide the direction / manage the codebase, and b) the people with a desire to improve it have the skills and time necessary to do so.
But another quick look at their website and, yes, there is a phenomenal difference between this and FlightGear.
284 Active *nix
63 Dominit *nix
and a Stagering 433 Discontunied (failed) *nix
andriod has 4 Major version and the entire andriod eco is soo fragmented between its ues with new hardware still comming out with 2.2.x Gingerbread...
This is what happens to openSoruce... No single body has control of the direct of the prodect and ever one wants to have there own version of it... this = no real develoment.
So unlike P3D or Xplane, I blame a lot of FlightGear issues sololy on the fact it opensorced
heres a example of a company that took Flightgear and renamed it just to sell it
http://www.proflightsimulator.com/?hopc2s=robb11111
BTW I have the paid version of FG v1.0 & 2.0 Global as well.
and yes its legal to due so with opensoruce as long as u supply the source code with it.

Blame the scammer from ProFlightSimulator. Don't blame the FlightGear community for sharing a great flight simulator with an open license.
I just saying with flightgear being open not only is it being very slow worked on cuz no one can agree on whos *code* is better and which direction the sim should go.. Its also not stopping nay one from recompliling the game.. change the name and slap diffrent logos on it and sell it..
Technally its not a scam to do it ether since you are FREE to repackage and sell open Source as long as you provide the user with the orginal soruce code as well
also look at what they did with FlightGear in 10 years compaired what MSFS did with in 10 year between 2000-fsx. or xplane for that fact.. The huge diffrence between the releases show . FlightGear releases don;t really show much in progress. and over the 10 year they really havn't done much with the sim ether.
Ask ProFlighSimulator customers how they feel when they realize they bought an outdated version of a product available for free under another name. It is a scam.
Well, it was the 1st 64-bit simulator, they already have a lot of features you'll not find in the default FSX like worldwide accurate roads, local weather, or cockpit shadows and now cloud shadows. They're doing a lot and you can get if for free. Of course, we all wish it will improve faster.
that to me would be the users fault for not searching said product and company before buying..
Same excuse could be used for all the people on here whinning then want a refund for Xplane.
most people that cry about such things never did a simple google search.. Hell Early Access gmaes are filled with these people whinning since they never bothered to read or search said product. then they think there entitled to a refund ever time
And FlightGear is opensource because there's no company behind it, it's a group of volunteers working as a hobby on the project.
And FlightGear has a lot of qualities better than X-Plane, such as hundreds of free aircarft, many are well modeled (such as the 777-S; the 787-8 and the 707). And it has more scenery to the airports as well. But I'm not gonna compare them because it leads to nothing but arguments, both have their strong and weak points and nobody wins.
FlightGear is free software[www.gnu.org] (free as in freedom), but you can also buy the original DVD version. It's available in the real FlightGear store:
http://shopping.flightgear.org/
If you're a flight simulation enthusiast, then you can buy it just to add these DVD to your collection, or because you want to support this project (servers, bandwidth, ... this is not free).
The only bad idea is to post links to ProFlightSimulator.
Sure, but that was not what I meant. You can support FG's dev team by buying the original game on DVD's/USB or by making donations or buying other products, and that's totally acceptable. What I referred was your mention of "payed flightgear", which is at most untrue. Nobody needs to pay for it (and there's no such thing as payed version, consider the DVD collection a donation to the team), specially in regards to that thing named "proflightsim". I just edited my original message, made a mistake saying FlightGear instead of Proflightsim.
What's your point? This makes open source bad? Lot of these *nix are basically different colored Debian or Ubuntu versions, they mostly work the same. The competition makes Linux strong and better.
Your suggestion is to buy closed source software, like windblows, because that's better or more secure. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
