Howevere glxgears is not a benchmarking program but an indication that something could be wrong.

This is a common trick for re-using models for different sized generic buildings. I'n not sure why the aircraft's cockpit isn't being displayed. I am wondering if you are hitting the Mesa conflict issue. Could you supply the output of glxinfo? The top 50 lines should be plenty. It should say "direct rendering: yes", capitalisation may vary different. I am wondering how much video memory is your card has. (Anyone know if 64MB is okay for flightgear?). The nVidia 6200 cards appears to be 128MB as standard.
