Flight Gear is like MS Flight Sim - really good program. There is also GL-117 which is a dated fighter game, but kinda fun. There are a few space flight simulators as well like vegastrike. All these are in the repositories

Thank you but my synaptic package manager has gone all funny :(

Anyway i'm looking at flight gear but on the debian site it is down :(

How do i acsess the repositories?

But you might run into dependency problems if your repo is down. ( http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Flight_Gear )

If you have universe enable in your source list, you can apt-get it. Though if you can live with it's v0.9.7 and not not v0.9.9

[Dark Damo]

Thats ok but i only have the stock sources.list

Where can i get the upgraded one?

Thanks :)

You can use the one I'm using

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Wipe out what you see and add this instead then you have all what you need and more:

Thank you very much. I allso have a tar.gz file. How can i install that? Its from some game called ysflight simulator or something.

Ok the other game works good appart when the plane starts moving it really badly lags!

I have a Celeron 320 with a Radeon 9800 pro 128mb 1024mb DDR400. Am i under the specs? I have the ATI drivers installed allso
