Use 'apt-get -b source flightgear' to do this and it will create a .deb 
package.   I suspect the fgfs-base package is from the same source 
and if so it will be built also.

I installed flightgear and realize (as I suspected) that I really need a
better video card than my old ATI Rage!  Which would be a better choice
for Ubuntu, Radeon or Nvidia (or something else)?
