FlightGear is used all over the world by desktop flight simulator enthusiasts, for research in universities and for interactive exhibits in museums.
FlightGear features more than 400 aircraft, a worldwide scenery database, a multi-player environment, detailed sky modelling, a flexible and open aircraft modelling system, varied networking options, multiple display support, a powerful scripting language and an open architecture. Best of all, being open-source, the simulator is owned by the community and everyone is encouraged to contribute.

It’s been a busy year so far – lots of stuff going on, and precious little time to build anything.
A couple of months ago however I was asked by my buddies at MAKE magazine to put together an interesting little project. A solar powered chirping cricket – that uses solar energy to maintain the charge on a 9v battery, and then starts “chirping” once night falls.
As well as using the solar panels to keep the 9v Lithium Ion battery charged, they are also used for the light detection routine. The project also features the excellent JeeLib library to manage the low power sleep routines.
