Just to keep track, Flightgear 2.4.0 has made it's way into Debian Unstable.
I'd like nominate the upgrade of this package for Precise Pangolin, 12.04 http://www.flightgear.org/news/flightgear-v2-4-0-released/ quotation start: One of the hallmark features of this new FlightGear version consists of a completely overhauled weather module. ... Adding to the improved visual experience, FlightGear 2.4.0 introduces numerous graphical enhancements. By employing state-of-art computer graphic techniques, FlightGear 2.4.0 is capable of rendering highly realistic mountain surfaces, 3-dimensional cityscapes, or shiny metallic surfaces. Through the application of these new computer graphics, water moves realistically and sunlight is reflected from its surface. Bug fixes Fixed METAR live weather (http requests from NOAA) Fixed many sources of the infamous NaN errors Improved stability by fixing many segmentation faults, deadlocks and memory leaks Improved placement of random objects Fixed inconsistencies with scenery tile scheduling The replay system now works again as advertised The ground proximity warning system (GPWS) works reliably now Runway lights also working with ATI graphics cards now (rendering option to disable point-sprites) Many, many more.
