FlightGear is an open source flight simulator designed to be easy to add new aircraft and scenery.
Extra aircraft are always being added to the list and range from large airliners to military aircraft and helicopters. The instrumentation is accurately simulated so instruments that are affected by pressure or the magnetic field of the aircraft itself are realistically inaccurate.
There are 20,000 real world airports with correct runway markings and approach lights.
The full scenery for the whole world would take up three DVDs so areas are downloaded individually. A graphical interface makes it easy to select the correct area to download.
A manual is supplied with FlightGear but it is still work in progress and only the basic information at the beginning is finished.
There are also versions available for Linux and Mac OSX. A full list of supported operating systems can be found here.
This is a big download at 135MB so not suitable for dial-up users.
