Hi Amit, If you peruse the source code layout you will find that FlightGear is indeed divided into numerous sub-libraries. They aren't setup as individual projects though (especially not in the msvc sense of the word.) The 1.9.0 version of FlightGear already supports multiple displays and multiple windows (each with their own unique perspectives), and FlightGear can sync multiple computers together over a network. I think you could put together a pretty convincing cave demonstration with just the stock v1.9.0 code. The only thing perhaps that is missing is head tracking and someway to operate the aircraft. I had good luck once hacking a wii-mote to function as a joystick and was able to fly quite nicely with it. Head tracking won't be important for out the window views since you are so far away from the world that head motion really won't affect your view. But head tracking probably would be pretty nice for looking around the 3d cockpits. Regards, Curt. -- Curtis Olson: http://baron.flightgear.org/~curt/
