I installed FlightGear under Debian Linux using apt-get. It's running fairly smoothly. I just have a couple questions to improve my setup:(1) How can I tell what version of FlightGear I have installed?(2) I may purchase a control yolk and rudder pedals. Does FlightGear tend to be compatable with all control yolks and pedals (this would be under Linux too)?

Does>FlightGear tend to be compatable with all control yolks and>pedals (this would be under Linux too)?No, your best bet would probably be CH PRODUCTS based hardware, however I remember seeing a corresponding section somewhere in the wiki, too.On the other hand, you are probably better advised to check back with other users, using the FlightGear mailing lists: http://www.flightgear.org/mail.htmlThat way, you should be able to get an impression about what sort of hardware works without problems currently, and which doesn't.
