Hey @chieling - Just thought I would chime in on this. There is JSBSim that has a pretty decent flight simulation model. It has everything you need to make a decent flight simulator template. The license FlightGear/JSB is under (LGPLv2) should be compatible with Torque 3D's MIT License according to this list.

Here is the website - LINK

That said there are a few tools such as JSBCommander that allow people to make aircraft in an separate application.

JSBCommander is also open source but I am unsure about the license.

Anyway - I might be able to help with Art assets for the Flight Simulator Template just as long as someone is able to handle the code side of things.

Also - I would recommend using render textures for reflective surfaces (Mirrors) and a full 3D Aircraft Interior with toggle able free look opposed to separate game windows for different parts of the aircraft. Here is a video

EDIT: JSB Sim is available under the LGPLv2 license.
