How accurate is FlightGear?
FlightGear is found to provide highly realistic simulation of aircraft systems and instrumentation. Hardware-in-the-loop testing shows promise as an area for future work. The proposed fault-detection model is found to provide 96% accuracy.

Are there any improvements to the Cessna 172P?
The aircraft comes with two flashlights (one white, one red) for night flights, allowing one to start the plane from cold and dark regardless of the amount of sunlight. Among other improvements, we have now a better flight dynamics model, with better stall and spin behaviour, and new hydrodynamics for the float variations.
What kind of aircraft is default in FlightGear?
FlightGear’s default aircraft, the Cessna 172P, went through a major makeover. This post will show some of these improvements. The aircraft exterior is now much more detailed, with new higher resolution liveries (as well as several cockpit and interior themes).
What to look for in a flight simulator?
To control that, use the air vent and air heat levers (as well as cracking the windows!). Pre-flight inspection has now been implemented. It’s possible now to add and remove tie-downs, wheel chocks and the pitot tube cover. On top of that, one has to keep an eye for the oil level and possible fuel contamination.
