FlightGear is an open source flight simulator that is developed by a large community of volunteers from around the world that works on all the major platforms, Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.

The 3.0 release was a big step in the series and the devs have made great progress with this game. As it stands right now, this is by far the most advanced free simulator that you can find and the 3.2 version made available today brings even more features.

"The FlightGear development team is delighted to announce the v3.2 release of FlightGear, the free, open-source flight simulator. This new version contains many exciting new features, enhancements and bugfixes. Highlights in this release include an experimental aircraft manager allowing users to download and load aircraft in-sim, a very capable built-in HTTP server, built-in voice synthesizer for ATIS messages, and many improvements to the Canvas rendering framework," say the developers in the announcement.

This games might be available on Linux, but repositories don't usually include the latest version and the devs don't provide binaries. This means that if you want FlightGear 3.2, you will have to compile it from source. Also, don't forget that there are some additional packages, Aircraft and Scenery.

You can download the source for FlightGear 3.2 right now from Softpedia.
