FlightGear started as an online proposal in 1996 by David Murr, living in the United States. He was dissatisfied with proprietary, available, simulators like the Microsoft Flight Simulator, citing motivations of companies not aligning with the simulators' players ("simmers"), and proposed a new flight simulator developed by volunteers over the Internet.
The X52 was one of Saitek's flagship products and features both a joystick and a throttle. The distinguishing feature of the X52 is the large backlit blue (or green, on an X52 Pro) LCD display on the throttle, which displays the mode it is configured, the name of the button being depressed and a chronograph function.

Since most avionics manufacturers see software as a way to add value without adding weight, the importance of embedded software in avionic systems is increasing. Most modern commercial aircraft with auto-pilots use flight computers and so called flight management systems (FMS) that can fly the aircraft without the pilot's active intervention ...
In aviation, the mode control panel (MCP) is an instrument panel that controls an advanced autopilot and related systems such as an automated flight-director system (AFDS). The MCP contains controls that allow the crew of the aircraft to select which parts of the aircraft's flight are to be controlled automatically.
The combination of FalconView and the Combat Flight Planning Software (CFPS) which was being developed by the USAF 46th Test Squadron and TYBRIN Corp became the Portable Flight Planning Software (PFPS). The first version of FalconView was completed in 1994. The software ran on MS-DOS, with a version for Windows 3.1 released not long after. [1]
