Hi,

found by accident today: FlightGear is used in a worldwide unique paragliding \
simulator!

ActiveFly is a simulator just for paragliding. It let's you practice paragliding on \
the ground. 

"In order to make practicing with the ActiveFly Simulator as realistic as possible, \
the harness as well as the risers and brakes are suspended below a frame in such a \
way that they can be operated. The brakes are extended and retracted via servos, \
simulating steering forces as they occur in a particular situation. The pilot will \
try to keep these forces constant by pulling or releasing the brakes. His actions can \
be viewed on a monitor and subsequently evaluated, allowing him to check the results \
and monitor progress as he develops his piloting skills." quote from \
www.activefly.com/simulator_en.htm. 

As visualizing system they use FlightGear. 

Some bigger images which shows the sim in action:

Maybe they should use some of our new generated sceneries. But great to see how \
FlightGear can be used in many ways!

Cheers
Heiko
