There was a post on hacker news on flight sim vertigo but there were many other GPL flight sims discussed in the post, e.g. Flightgear.

I just through I'd mention it here, if anyone wants to play with source code for atmospheric drag modelling, etc.

"Lnux Air Combat:
This is a free, open-source combat flight simulator developed by AskMisterWizard.com for the LINUX community. Its roots came from the well-known "classic" flight game known as "GL-117", but this new incarnation has been extensively re-written and improved, and the focus has changed from arcade gaming to World War II combat flight simulation."
