Flightgear is a comprehensive flight simulator, with a lot of features & addons available. However it probably isn't as easy to get started with as a commercial product like Microsoft Flight Simulator. IMPORTANT: This disk contains Flightgear scenery only, please get DVD1(Windows,Mac) or DVD4(some versions of Linux) for the actual simulator.
Contents of this DVD: * Scenery = 120deg W(from 40 N down, excl. sea) to 0deg E(0 to 40 N) (South America, & most of North America, + more) > photo shows a map of which scenery is included
I'm only charging for my costs(disks, packaging, printing etc), & time. This software, & addons(scenery,aircraft) are freely available at the official website: www.flightgear.org I'm selling these disks with the approval of the software creator. Of course, it's much more handy to have a DVD ready made, than having to download & organize several gigabytes of data.
DVD will be printed on, & supplied in a sleeve, inside a cardboard dvd mailer(basically a cardboard envelope designed for cd/dvd disks) This protects the DVD, & keeps postage cost lower. Photo shows DVD, sleeve, cardboard mailer, & a map of which scenery is included with each disk.
Scenery is available for the whole world, I also sell 3 other disks containing the rest of the scenery.
Recommended hardware: * 1-2 GHZ (multi-core benefits may be employed by threaded FlightGear components such as for example the tile loader) * at least 512-1024 MB free RAM (more is better: as of 01/2008 FlightGear will often easily eat up >= 500 MB RAM by default, thus if less free RAM is available the FlightGear process would be significantly slowed down due to OS swapping) * Video card = 128-256 MB dedicated RAM, OpenGL 1.2 capable (2.0 even better!) - GOOD INFO HERE(inc supported video cards) : http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Supported_Video_Cards * 500 MB free HD space needed for minimum installation, * Soundblaster compatible soundcard (optional?) - preferably with EAX support * 3 button mouse or 2 button mouse with scroll wheel * Gameport or USB (HID compatible) joystick/yoke and/or pedals (optional)

IMPORTANT NOTE - DON'T GET RIPPED OFF: Some sellers have sold flightgear under the impression that it's a commercial product, & charged a lot for it. None of this charge appears to have gone to the creators, or charity. They typically give it a false name, such as 'Flight Aviator', or 'Flight Pro Sim' However, it appears to be the exact same software, despite there being only very vague(if any) mention of 'flightgear' & 'open source' - they never mention that it's freely available. This is also happening with other free software.
