FlightGear (http://www.flightgear.org) is an open source flight simulator that is even used in flight schools to train basic maneuvers, radio communication and navigation tasks. It is available for windows, mac and linux.
In this article I want to introduce my ongoing development of the Sukhoi SuperJet 100 of the last 5 days.
New Features

New gear control unit with autobrake function, modeled from pictures and with all relevant functions. Logic for 3 different modes of autobrake and one for RTO (Rejected takeoff).
Main programming was in: SSJ/Systems/autobrake.xml and SSJ/Models/Instruments/gear-ctl/gear-control-unit.xml

Roadmap
Research at http://superjet100.info/design for lightning, and hundreds of details. As the SSJ-100 is now in a very nice stadium the work on it will go on in smaller steps.
