    I played with FG and GE a while ago:

    http://pigeond.net/blog.html?cat=flightgear&comments=fgge


    The major problem was that with GE it only updates at quickest once
every one second (typical GPS update rate I was told), no matter what
you do.

    And the second thing is getting GE to "follow" the plane nicely.

    Though these were a few GE versions back, and I haven't looked at it
since.
