![]() New and extended autopilot controllers have resulted in a dramatic improvement in autopilot stability in many aircraft. If that isn’t enough, FlightGear 2.4.0 can draw a full 3D image, through one of the many stereoscopic rendering options.įlightGear’s user experience is also enhanced through several improvements to the software. Many new aircraft models are so realistic and detailed it is almost possible to see oneself reflected in their hull. Through the application of these new computer graphics, water moves realistically and sunlight is reflected from its surface. By employing state-of-art computer graphic techniques, FlightGear 2.4.0 is capable of rendering highly realistic mountain surfaces, 3-dimensional cityscapes, or shiny metallic surfaces. In FlightGear 2.4.0 checking the weather is no longer a luxury option, it is essential for flight safety.Īdding to the improved visual experience, FlightGear 2.4.0 introduces numerous graphical enhancements. Among the numerous phenomena included in the weather simulation are fog layers that are limited in altitude, cold fronts, thermals, cloud formation in updraft winds along mountain ridges, and many, many more. This results not only in customizable weather, but also in all the exciting phenomena that occur at the boundaries between different weather systems. While it was previously already possible to load realistic weather by downloading (or creating custom) METAR weather reports, the current FlightGear 2.4.0 version takes weather generation an order of a magnitude further by applying the laws of physics to the reported conditions and by determining how the atmosphere interacts with the terrain. One of the hallmark features of this new FlightGear version consists of a completely overhauled weather module. FlightGear 2.4.0 reflects over one and a half years of development and incorporates several new and exciting features, as well as numerous bug fixes. ![]() The FlightGear development team is proud to announce the release of version 2.4.0 of its free open source flight simulation program. ![]()
