in portage there is games-simulation/flightgear, a very good flight simulator, but this simulator is command line online and sometime is very hard to configure; now there is kfreeflight a GUI frontend to the FlightGear command line. Hope to see the ebuild in the portage soon.

I think need-qt 3 needs to go after the *DEPEND lines
True, my mistake.
Created attachment 88842 [details] games-util/kfreeflight-0.3.2 new ebuild
Tested this (version 0.3.2-r2) on my 2006.0 amd64 machine. It will work the first time it is run but the next time it is run it will hang up initializing.... and it will not run. Not sure if this is a problem with the ebuild or an actual application issue or perhaps it is not 64 bit ready. This FlightGear front end looks promising but it is KDE specific and it is not very mature at this point. I have opened a bug report on this upstream.

I have only x86 machines, so i'm not able to tell you if it's a 64bit problem, for this is better to ask upstream, to the main developer. > This FlightGear front end looks promising but it is KDE specific and it is not very mature at this point. > > I have opened a bug report on this upstream. > Desktop preferences are not problems related to Gentoo Bugzilla or Gentoo stuff, here there is only the ebuild to let you install the software and nothing else; however if i remember correctly, there is another FlightGear frontend specific for GNOME environment somewhere on sourceforge. If you can, try the new ebuild, thanks ;)
kfreeflight ebuild is now in portage. Thanks for all
Is this going into portage? I had to do an overlay to get it with the attachment.
The latest stable version is there.
