- None, FlightGear uses OpenGL to make it cross platform.
- Yes, we come in 64 bit versions.

FlightGear uses OpenGL and DirectX is not supported. As far as I know, the MS Windows binaries for the FlightGear releases are 32-bit for now (including the unstable nightly builds).

We actually provide both 32 and 64 bits (since a very long time) ;-)

See e.g. here.
