hia,

see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5578 etc.

if you would like to test it:

1.) extract
http://www.icu.unizh.ch/~mettlerd/gentoo/files/FlightGear-0.7.10_gentoo_3in1.tgz
to /usr/portage/
2.) do an "emerge -p FlightGear" and an "emerge FlightGear"
(build time around 30 min on my 1 ghz athlon)
3.) execute "fgfs &" (window mode) or "fgfs --enable-game-mode &"
(fullscreen game mode) -> man fgfs

enjoy your flight! ;)

ps.
* make sure that your opengl compliant graphics card is set up
properly. i only tested it with nvidia's driver (geforce 2 gts)
but it should work with mesa too.
* would be great if others could submit some additional scenery,
aircraft etc. ebuilds to http://bugs.gentoo.org!
* disclaimer: you test it at your own risk, no warranty at all.
however, on my box it works great :)
* feedback is welcome (especially regarding different hardware,
ppc, sparc, gcc 2.95)

Well, you had me all excited, but then ...

It seems the source URI is broken (or the site isn't accepting ftp logins)

It only allows 7 logins. I got lucky and managed to grab the SimGear 
source, now I just have to wait for FlightGear to download (over 30 MB!)

I've decided to temporarily mirror the file. Try not to hammer it _too_ 
hard, it's only a 256 Kb ADSL line (not sure of the uplink speed).

Oh, forgot to mention: The other files can be grabbed from the mirror at 
ftp://ftp.darklands.cx/pub

hmm.. the sim/flightgear ftp servers seem to be a bit "gentoo'ed"
atm ;)

thus, first try to emerge the things as usual, then try a manual
download of the tarballs from a close mirror: see
http://www.simgear.org/mirrors.html (SimGear-0.0.18.tar.gz) and
http://www.flightgear.org/mirrors.html
(FlightGear-0.7.10.tar.gz, fgfs-base-0.7.10.tar.gz)

if you still do not succeed, try these temporarily mirrored files
(by http. please be kind to that server, it has only ~10 kbit/s
upstream. else i will need to remove the files.):

http://www.icu.unizh.ch/~mettlerd/gentoo/files/SimGear-0.0.18.tar.gz
(1.3 mb)
http://www.icu.unizh.ch/~mettlerd/gentoo/files/FlightGear-0.7.10.tar.gz
(1.1 mb)
http://www.icu.unizh.ch/~mettlerd/gentoo/files/fgfs-base-0.7.10.tar.gz
(30 mb, base files.. relax, there's no compilation required ;)

put them in /usr/portage/distfiles and emerge.

nb. if you have a slow internet connection it's probably a good
idea to download and emerge the files/ebuilds step-by-step (as
successful builds of metakit, simgear and some more are 
_required_ for building flightgear):

emerge -p SimGear
emerge SimGear
(eventually download required tarballs manually)

if it succeeded:

emerge -p FlightGear
emerge FlightGear (takes a while)
(eventually download required tarballs manually)

have fun

This url should not include the colon after the 51, than it should work
