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

    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. See our bugtracker for an extensive list
