This never really made any sense to me. To my knowledge there's never been any code in the linux kernel that sco pointed to and said "this is our IP". How can they charge money for something that other people developed without even defining what parts of the code they think they own? How is that even legal? Maybe I missed something.
I've been playing that simulator for quite a while; it's very realistic & fun. You can do stuff like..fly into realtime naviational weather..construct your own plane & it attempts to apply realistic pressures on it (stress on components etc). They give you a wide variety of craft to fly by default..helicopters..fighter planes..big commercial airliners, even gliders and crap.
Nothing is as fun as climbing as high as you can force a plane to go, taking a dive straight to the ground..seeing if you can recover from it without ripping the plane apart/crashing. Then flying mach 2 like 150' off the ground over hilly terrain..that keeps me engrossed for hours.
They state on their site that it runs under WINE - it does pretty well under it too, the time that I tested it..
Anyway if you have any interest at all in flight simulators / well written programs..I would buy it. The only thing I haven't been able to do well is land:-)
