...and it's still a piece of crap compared to Orbiter!
They promised all manner of improvements, but it still takes up about 800G of HD space, the scenery still doesn't look like any recognizable landscape, 7 out of 10 add-on aircraft still are only half-finished, etc.
I just can't believe this thing's been in development for three years longer than Orbiter, and it's still in such a shoddy state.
I remember when I first found Orbiter back in 2001: The graphics needed work, but the potential was immediately obvious, due to the realistic physics and things like the Orbit MFD. The improvement in just a couple of years was astounding! But even at the beginning, it was a much more refined package than FlightGear is even today!
I don't own a PC anymore, so I can only run whatever freeware gets put out for the Mac (Mine was a gift).
Really wish someone would port Orbiter for the Mac.
