I don't know how much experience you have with compiling programms so I'll try to give you some very basic ideas: The bleeding edge source code lives in a versioning system (the CVS repository). This allows us to compare different versions, develop on it on the same time, etc. pp. To get the source code out of the CVS you need a CVS client. My currently preferred program for that is TortoiseCVS, located at: http://www.tortoisecvs.org/ Once you've installed it, you can use the anonymous CVS from FlightGear. The unix/cygwin centric instructions are on page http://www.flightgear.org/cvs/anoncvs.html The relevant information is basicly that the CVSROOT is :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9 and the modules you want are "source" and - on a later run - "data" There's also an description for Windows and WinCVS (an other CVS client) on the homepage: http://www.flightgear.org/cvs/WinCVS.html But it seems to be too outdated (it's from 1998...) So now you should have the source code. The now missing part is an C++ compiler. Either go with "cygwin" as all other posts told you, or go to Microsoft and get their Visual Studio C++ compiler (it's most basic version should be free to download and bring everything else you need to compile FGFS).
