    Update to 2.8.0. Switches build system to cmake.

    August 17, 2012 -- FlightGear v2.8.0 is Released

    The FlightGear development team is happy to announce the v2.8.0
    release of FlightGear, the free, open-source flight simulator. This
    new version contains many exciting new features, enhancements and
    bugfixes.

    V2.8.0 includes improvements making FlightGear world more realistic
    than ever before.  Placement of random buildings and trees match the
    underlying terrain texture, and urban areas now have denser random
    buildings.  Textures can be region specific, and users can select
    between summer and winter textures in-sim.  An improved atmospheric
    scattering and terrain haze model means the lighting of the terrain is
    more realistic.  Finally, a new automated system is now available for
    scenery submissions that automatically get rolled into the scenery
    distribution to be enjoyed by everyone.

    [...]

    Some of the major changes include:

    AI Traffic

        Improved aircraft models and textures.

    Flight dynamics

        FlightGear has been synced with the JSBSim project.

    Environment

        Region-specific terrain textures are used for Europe and Hawaii.
    Now towns in Europe look different from towns in the USA.

        Cities and towns now look more populated due to random 3D
    buildings, complete with lighting at night.
        Scenery looks more realistic due to improved placement of random
    objects, buildings and trees.
        Airport signs are now rendered in 3D, with support for
    double-sided signs. Full apt.dat 850 syntax is supported.
        You can now select between summer and winter scenery in-sim.

    Instruments & HUDs

        A new flexible, 2D rendering system designed for complex
    instruments such as CDUs, MFDs, EICAS, HUDs and other glass cockpit
    interfaces. Canvas allows aircraft designers to easily build complex
    instruments without needing specialized C++ code.

    Interface

        Support for translation of the main menu into languages other than
    English.
        A Nasal API is available allowing access to Navigation and
    route-manager data.

    Highlighted new and improved aircraft

        Airwave Xtreme 150: complete new (JSBSim) flight dynamics, new
    model, advanced pilot animations.
        Cessna 337G Skymaster

    Project infrastructure

        Various improvements to our scenery database make it easier than
    ever to add, delete or update objects to the FlightGear world.
        The new aircraft download page allows you to easily find quality
    aircraft, by filtering on status indications.

    Visual effects

        Improved simulation of atmospheric light scattering with terrain
    haze.
        An experimental renderer, named after the famous painter
    Rembrandt, is included for testing purposes. The Rembrandt rendered
    supports multiple light sources (landing lights, instrument lights),
    real-time shadows and ambient occlusion across aircraft and scenery
    for a much more realistic visual experience.

    Other

        Additional joysticks and rudder pedals are supported out-of-the-box:
            InterLink Elite
            Micorosft Xbox 360 Controller
            Qware USB
            Saitek Cyborg X (F.L.Y. 5)
            Saitek Pro Flight Cessna Yoke
            Saitek Pro Flight Cessna Trim Wheel
            Saitek Pro Flight Cessna Rudder Pedals
            Speedlink Defender
        A French partial translation of The FlightGear Manual is now available.
