Flight Gear 3.4 has just been released!

And it is really amazing, I can't get tired of the detailed weather engine and the atmospheric light scattering:

And to see some amazing screenshots and detailed explanation of what the atmospheric light scattering system is capable of, have a look on this post: http://www.flightgear.org/tours/the-magic-of-light-and-haze/

Hi jcomm,

 

Cool, so you know about configuring the good stuff

 

About the Aerowinx PSX + FG 3.4, did you try contacting the user that created that old version? I checked his profile and he has been online in the past 6 months: http://forum.flightgear.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7774

 

Cheers!

I tried, but didn't get any reply... Will try again ;-)

Cool! Maybe you could also try creating a new thread in the forum or sending an e-mail to the development mailing list would help as well (but I warn you that the devs are super busy lately, there is some huge migration of data server going on).

@N1125Y Hi Yair, according to this page of the FlightGear wiki, the Saitek yoke, throttle and pedals work just fine (same for the CH products). As for the other hardware you mentioned, I am not familiar with them at all. Maybe the best place to ask about it would be on FlightGear forum.

 

Cheers!

Just wondering about hardware compatibility GoFlight Saiteks VRInsight, etc ???

The sad truth is that very few hardware companies bother supporting FlightGear, and while most yokes/throttles/pedals should work fine, it might be a bit more tricky to get some more complex hardware (like radios) to work. So unfortunately I don't have a universal answer for this, particularly since I don't know the hardware you are mentioning, so maybe it's worth to check it with these companies themselves or ask in the FG forum if anyone is familiar with them. That all said, if you already own them, then you can simply download FG and try it, since it's a free sim!

.. I think you are right the best thing is to download and try

 

tnx for the prompt response

For joysticks etc. you might need to customize the standard files. Forgot which but it's easy, ask in the FG forum or google.
