At this time it does not. ..see above link, Microsoft has a commercial interest in putting an end to OpenGL, GNU/Linux, and FlightGear, "we threaten MS & MSFS!!!". Methods used include lobbying to get open source banned, litigation thru proxies, and "bug fixes" thru their "os" updating service, which makes Microsoft Wisdows a moving target and next to impossible for FlightGear to support Wintendo users. Try open your very first MSWord document on your current machine. Them throw blame flames. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
