Hi, found by accident today: FlightGear is used in a worldwide unique paragliding simulator!
ActiveFly is a simulator just for paragliding. It let's you practice paragliding on the ground. "In order to make practicing with the ActiveFly Simulator as realistic as possible, the harness as well as the risers and brakes are suspended below a frame in such a way that they can be operated. The brakes are extended and retracted via servos, simulating steering forces as they occur in a particular situation. The pilot will try to keep these forces constant by pulling or releasing the brakes. His actions can be viewed on a monitor and subsequently evaluated, allowing him to check the results and monitor progress as he develops his piloting skills." quote from www.activefly.com/simulator_en.htm. As visualizing system they use FlightGear. Some bigger images which shows the sim in action: http://aufwindfreunde.de/fotoalbum/simulator_training_27022011/simulator_training_27022011.htm Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFcHebPaiEs&feature=player_embedded Maybe they should use some of our new generated sceneries. But great to see how FlightGear can be used in many ways!
