Editing FlightGear (section)

===Multiplayer===
Several [[computer network|networking]] options allow {{em|FlightGear}} to communicate with other instances of {{em|FlightGear}}. A [[Multiplayer video game|multiplayer]] [[protocol (computing)|protocol]] is available for using {{em|FlightGear}} on a [[local network]] in a multi aircraft environment. This can be used for [[Aerobatics|formation flight]] or [[control tower|air traffic control]] simulation. Soon after the original Multiplayer Protocol became available, it was expanded to allow playing over the internet. It is possible to see other players in the simulator if they have the same aircraft models and viewing their flight path is possible with the simulator's online multiplayer map.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mpmap03.flightgear.org/|title=FlightGear μ - The MultiPlayer Map|website=mpmap03.flightgear.org|access-date=2019-07-23}}</ref>

Since {{em|FlightGear}} version 2020.1 it is possible to connect to [[Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network|VATSIM]] by using the open-source swift pilot client.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://wiki.flightgear.org/Swift|title=swift - FlightGear wiki|website=wiki.flightgear.org|access-date=2022-05-18}}</ref>

Several instances of {{em|FlightGear}} can be synchronized to allow for a [[multi-monitor]] environment.
