Welcome to FlightGear's OpenCollective!
Published on June 19, 2025 by Gijs

While our open source flight simulator FlightGear has always been and will continue to be made available for free, running a project like ours inevitably comes with costs. To support project infrastructure, such as download servers, domain registrations and code signing, we're now welcoming entirely optional donations through the OpenCollective platform.

See this blog post on our website for more information.

Hi Yakiv,

The best place to ask for help is generally our support forum: https://forum.flightgear.org We'd happily assist you there!
