Fun fact: flightgear is fully open source, which means it (and all its airports and planes) are entirely built, maintained and developed by the community. Anyone with a computer can access the source code for the physics engine or any other aspect of this sim
Something I really like with this one is the community. It has that (smaller) open source project chillness to it. No one is under any delusion this stands up to the big names so it's just people doing what they can in a more community run project. And it's managed to gain a considerable amount of good development resultingly.
Since flightgear is open source, you can literally change every aspect of the game, from graphics to gameplay. You can retexture the entire game by modifying the generic textures, install better shaders and enb presets. Flightgear has the point for modability.
FG was the first flight simulator i played, back in 2010, my dad even give me a joystick. His dream is for me to become a pilot, but I ended up becoming a photojournalist, so I kind of disappointed him. But hey, he's still proud of me, I think LOL

Btw you can get aircraft from the actual simulator by going to aircraft and then looking at browse. And also you can press download scenery in settings to fly all around the world without downloading scenery packs! And also if you enabled real world live weather then that might be why the winds were strong. And btw to unpause you press “p” smh 🤦♂️
the scenery autodownload is nice. urban areas still look weird though - like a continuous plane of buildings seen through a window awkwardly cut into the ground. remember years ago before that was integrated and you had to run the terrasync daemon manually that would poll your location from the http api and download the scenery files from subversion?
You have to mention, that this simulator does have mp, and there are more than 400 planes available in the Launcher, so you don't ned to download them from internet. When you change the settings, also the water looks much better. There are wildfire animations too, and for flying an airport, you just net to know the IACO code. The newest version does even have volcano animations and tide. And it is open-source!
Finally, a somewhat decent review about FlightGear compared to the unacceptable trash-talking video of a couple years ago. Although I can tell you that you can get much better graphic quality if only you would put more than 30 minutes into knowing the sim.
For the 777 aircraft: You just need to press P, because you were paused, I mean this is normal because you want to be paused while starting on the air right?
Swiss: Talks about how Microsoft won't let him post FS 2020 content Microsoft: listens intently with a firearm behind Swiss001's door to make sure he doesn't spoil anything
That sim has a development of more than 10 years now to perform its best on Linux systems, where it was born. It is developed by flight Sim enthusiasts and pilots and game developers all over the world, who want to keep open source better than Microsoft and who loved that idea and stuff. By the way, you have to change the sensitivity inside the config file itself, but there are descriptions around but they might not be here on UA-cam. But getting used to it will put a smile on your face.
A few years ago I downloaded this out of curiosity and found that, well, it was pretty impressive for a price of $0, and the UI actually played better with my creaky old MacBook than the X-Plane of the time, but it was kind of crude compared to X-Plane let alone MSFS (which I couldn't run). I didn't have much luck getting it to fly anywhere other than the original download's low-poly rendition of Hawaii. The mouse and keyboard controls took some getting used to and I couldn't use a game controller. I just downloaded the latest version on my new computer and tried it again. Much more success. Now it actually recognizes the game controller I was using (just a PS4 Dual Shock), which, once I'd set up some reasonable mappings, makes it a lot more enjoyable to use! I think that with enough cajoling on modern hardware, messing with settings and add-ons, you could get a pretty fun sim experience out of this, if you don't demand anything close to photorealism or even the graphical sophistication of X-Plane. You can't beat the price! It does take a lot of fiddling around. The default keyboard mappings seem inspired by the original subLogic/Microsoft Flight Simulator for 1980s personal computers (which has some overlap with modern MSFS but is not quite the same). I like the automatic scenery download but it leaves you in a gray void the first time you teleport to a new location, and some of the world scenery is pretty crude. But for a free sim, it models planes fairly realistically. It's kind of charming that it insists on you starting the Cessna's engine in a more or less realistic manner, manipulating the mixture and such, and it'll die if you just immediately go full throttle. It apparently is possible to run it with a multi-monitor display but it seems to take a lot of messing around with configuration files--there is no simple UI for it. It has the glitchiness of a lot of open-source software. At one point my Cessna just would not move even with the engine running at full throttle no matter what I did--I assumed I'd left the brakes on somehow and tried all the possible wheel-brakes settings with no luck. Finally I googled "FlightGear Cessna will not move" and found a page with a dev saying something like "oh, yeah, that's a known bug, it only happens after you go to a new airport, you have to toggle Enable Damage. I need to get around to fixing it." Sure enough, toggling Enable Damage fixed it.
to prime a cesna in this game is pretty easy(because i have done this).First you prime the engine 3 times or 4 times. Second you put the mixture to rich(100 percent)Last you hold "S" until u hear lawn mower noises.

Hey swiss001! I think you should record FG after a year and compare what has changed. And a lot has changed. Currently most changes have been made in the nightly version :) .
It's playable. Takes about a week to figure out the graphics settings and things of that nature so it stops glitching/lagging. But then it also takes about two months of pestering the devs and power-users on the forums in figuring out the script to get a decent joystick config file (have all buttons usable and dial in expo settings) and make macros or custom hotkeys for the most likely used controls since not all aircraft are setup from the start. Should do another review if you ever get to that stage.
thats not Microsoft Flight Simulator, thats FlightGear with max graphics (ALS, 3D grass, and shaders). It's one of their official screenshots. I think swiss used that as the thumbnail because he didn't know how to max out FlightGear.
Hey, I'd recommend you try the F-16. It's GREAT. Especially compared to the default C172 which has great systems but the torque of several F4U Corsairs because of its kinda shit FDM
to start a cessna, you will want to turn on master power. then turn on fuel pumps. then turn on your taxi lights. then put mixture. puting a little power. then start i thnk? i dont really know. i will haft to play flight sim again
On my pc the sim is really bugged i dont mean the aircraft i mean the city is extreamly wierd. Amd how did you do ot that you start in the air with engines running i always start on a Taxi way with engines out

Excellent video, mate. Keep the good work up. Thank you. I always look forward to your videos!
They have damage, visual damage, simulated flight damage behavior, and replay.
So far, it seem far superior than MFS2020, minus the visual.
And the sheer amount of planes and vehicles,(by vehicles I mean follow me cars, pushback, snowplow truck,Etc.
The visual actually got an improvement for version 2020.4, the newest one. The Compositor render engine adds shadows, and with it you can use HDR.
