I am pleased to announce the release of FlightGear v0.9.4. It is
available for free download from:

FlightGear is a free, open-source, multi-platform flight simulator.
The source code is licensed under the GPL.

Precompiled packaged versions are available for most platforms
including Windows, Linux, Sgi, Solaris, and Mac OS X.

Here are a few of the highlights from this release:

- Ability to fetch weather conditions in real-time from the NOAA web site.
- Working VASI/PAPI lights.
- Ability to fly under bridges, taxi into hangers, etc.
- Added a tool to facilitate installing additional scenery chunks.
- Many updated textures and models.
- The San Francisco area has been vastly improved.
- Several new aircraft were added (Comper Swift, Hawker Hunter, and
  T37 Tweet) and most of the existing aircraft have been improved in
  various ways.
- A built in scripting language.
- Updated aircraft AI and ATC modules.
- Complete overhaul of the autopilot system.
