FlightGear

The FlightGear flight simulator project is an open-source, multi-platform, cooperative flight simulator development project. It is a very good open source flight simulator and is also very configurable. You can choose from a large number of aircrafts available and also the world scenery. One of the best things is that it is very configurable and editable. You can write your own flight dynamics model and aircraft. Also you can remotely control it and even write scripts to do all the variables recording for further analysis.
