If you are wondering when Flightgear will move to Vulkan using the newly released Vulkan Scene Graph (VSG) which is the successor to OSG that FG currently uses, VSG will be looked at after the current set of infrastructure and OpenGL 4.x according to plans mentioned by devs - as Vulkan Scene Graph hopefully should be mature and stable by then.įor those curious, keep and eye on the 'next' branch, or the nightly builds.

OSM2City scenery for the whole of Iceland was built for the LTS earlier this year, but is not bundled due to the innosetup installer size limit. There is an additional development preview binary of the work-in-progress Compositor bundled with the LTS, like in the 2020.1 preview build. Keflavik Airport (BIKF), in south-west Iceland, is the featured airport. Bug fixes will be backported, and the build maintained, for a much longer period than development preview builds.
