There certainly is, and it's pretty good for open source. It's called
flightgear.

It's a pretty hefty package, and you need a fast machine and good
accelerated graphics to make it work.

It seems to play rather well on my dual core athlon/6600 integrated
nvidia, but it crawled on my old athlon 1000 box. :)
