Not only as a great example of free open source software that offers a genuine alternative to expensive commercial apps, but also for the quality of its documentation.

                                            There's no "just ask questions on our Discord server instead" here! There is comprehensive written documentation online and it goes well beyond listing each function, it goes into detail of when and why to use them, how they work, and how to get the best results. And, if that's still not enough, you can buy the book! The lead developer has produced a 200 page A4 lavishly illustrated glossy guide book.

                                            My copy arrived today, and I plan to pass the time waiting for clear skies by reading it.

Plan: das offene Projekt zu seinem eigenen, closed-source Produkt umbauen.

Falsches Signal. Dann lernt jeder Trittbrettfahrer: Open-Source-Maintainer kann man aus ihrem eigenen Projekt bullyen, wenn man nur dreist genug ist.

Deși legătura este activă, echipa avertizează utilizatorii care folosesc scripturi complexe că anumite funcții mai vechi nu sunt complet implementate încă.

I think I first got dial-up Internet connection about 1998/1999.

I used to use 's Blue Light free dial-up service back when was around. I started with a 28.8kbps modem. My mother had call waiting at the time so sometimes my connection would get interrupted which was fine. I bought Red Hat 5.2 for I think $12.

I always had plans and dreams but I couldn't make them real because they are too hard. I also had to learn about tech more first, like learning what is libre software etc.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Anyway, like realism should be our priority, sim should be coming with FPV only (first person view). No other views should be allowed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Simulation should simulate human's senses like hot/cold temperature, making very hard brake should move camera, driving bad should move the camera, or flooring the gas pedal etc.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        We should be able to click stuff inside the vehicle just like flight sims.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Sim must be compatible with PlayStation controllers as they are the best imo.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        3D surround sound with headphones would be great.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Simulator should be libre too.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        If we put support for maps/mods, the sim will get larger by community support.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Having AI traffic would be amazing too.
