<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>
