Didn't this subject come up before? Note that "CPU usage is at 100%" is neither a bug nor a problem by itself. Do you need more CPU for calculating something else? Are your other applications unresponsive? FlightGear, like most games or real-time simulations, has a frame-based main loop. It calculates a frame, renders it, and then immediately goes back to the start of the loop to render the next one. That keeps the frame rate as high as possible given the resources available. There is currently no provision for "throttling" the frame rate in situations where the window is minimized, although I suppose that could be done.
