FlightGear Reaches v2.0
distantbody writes "The flight sim project FlightGear has reached version 2.0. From the website: 'Highlights of this new version include: Dramatic new 3D clouds, dramatic lighting conditions, improved support for custom scenery, and many many new and detailed aircraft models.' Full list of improvements here. And of course the screenshots. The release coincides with the release of SimGear v2, the 'set of open-source libraries designed to be used as building blocks for quickly assembling 3d simulations, games, and visualization applications' on which FlightGear is based."
you need to cut down on your testosterone injections.
i'm curious, did you my OP? i said this is what holds linux back from being a mainstream desktop. you are right, most linux users can compile, but the other 99.9% of desktop users can't, and this is just one more reason why they won't choose linux. so yes, you proved my point well thanks.
regardless, maybe you have all the time the world sitting in your parents' basement without a job or girlfriend, but other people have lives and regardless of whether they *can* compile, they don't want to spend their precious free time compiling the apps and games they need.
