Looking for a truly high-quality flight simulator that also happens to be free? Well, search no longer because you've just discovered FlightGear!
With FlightGear you get an open source flight simulator that is in many ways right up there with its expensive commerical counterparts, such as Microsoft's Flight Simulator.
FlightGear is definitely no slouch when it comes to recreating the flying experience and you might be surprised by its attention to detail and commitment to realism. It's also one of the few simulators out there that will run on almost every major OS platform (Windows, Linux, Mac, UNIX), and it doesn't even demand bleeding edge hardware to run well either.
All in all, FlightGear is a feature-packed, top-tier simulator that just might bring out the ace pilot in you. Be sure to download it take your favorite bird up for a few test flights.
FlightGear only comes with a few aircraft models in the initial download. However, you can downloads hundreds of additional aircraft. Choose which models you want to fly including all kinds of planes throughout aviation history. FlightGear aircraft downloads

Best Game in History, Aug 14, 2011
by Ernest Ugwuzor (Nigeria)
Flight gear symbolizes the advent of technology! With super flying techs, this simulator is one of the best in the world. Talk about graphics, this flight simulator has super shadows, real life show and modern virtual designs. This is the best game yet.

Hi, I’m a great fan of planes, and I fantasise about someday joining the R.A.F
Just call me FOB (Fan Of Planes) and I’ll tell u about this game is step by step order.
1.) Graphics:
The graphics in this game are amazing, of course they could be improved greatly (as the same with any game) and because of this the game can be quite video heavy for slow computers. The planes stick out a bit, like an object relevant to a scene in a animated movie. (e.g. scooby doo)
2.) Speed of game:
On most modern computers, the game will run smoothly and effeiciantly, but older computers. (e.g.windows XP) Windows 7, even though reletivly new, is really slow with this game, and I found that the download was incredibly slow.
3.) Controls:
The controls are simple, and quite easy to master. The controls vary a bit from vehicle to vehicle. e.g. vertical take off in helicopters.
4.) Terrain and land:
The scenery is very detailed, and very good, thanks to the amazing graphics.However, if you have a slow computer, you may get a blue screen, telling you that the computer had to restart and shut down to protect itself. This is because the game is very video heavy.
5.) The game in general:
This game is amazing although, some points can be improved.Then again, everything can be improved. So in Total I give this 4 FOB stars (out of 5)
