Yes, it will work. You'll be able to direct the $DISPLAY to the Sun,
but don't expect tremendous frame rates. The performance will be
comparable to that when running FG locallly on the Sun.

I guess this requires a significant amount of cash bacause you might
need at last a graphics card of the XVR-4000 class or better to run
FlightGear decently.

No idea, but you could help porting the current state of FlightGear to
Solaris :-)
