<p>FlightGear does not use a source documentation system (such as

<i>doxygen</i> or <i>DOC++</i>). What documentation we have is
|
||||||
|
available at
|
||||||

<a href="http://flightgear.org/Docs/">http://flightgear.org/Docs/</a>.
|
||||||
|
There is also some useful documentation in the source tree under the

<code>docs-mini/</code> directory.</p>

<p>SimGear uses <i>doxygen</i> documentation, which is available at

|
<a href="http://simgear.org/doxygen/">http://simgear.org/doxygen/</a>.</p>
|

<p>Also, the JSBSim FDM uses <i>DOC++</i>. The latest version of that

is viewable at

|
<a href="http://jsbsim.sf.net/JSBSim/">http://jsbsim.sf.net/JSBSim/</a>.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>The only other documentation we have is the comments in the code.
|

Depending on the programmer, some code may even be self-documenting.</p>
