Several races, flexible ship configuration, programmable ship courses & actions, set it apart from other similar games. Can be played via telnet or dedicated GUI front-ends (currently only a FE for unix machines is available, Win32 client in the future). Everything but ship<->planet combat is implemented, but playtesting is needed to adjust parameters for fairness. | Imperium 3.5.2 | new | |

Quite a bit of work has been done on the instrument panel. The magnetic compass behaves like a real "wet" compass, the altimeter and VSI behave realistically, and the nav radios are now operataional. Quite a bit of work has been done on the flight model front as well. JSBsim continues to progress nicely and now has a reconfigurable flight control system. A group from UIUC has contributed an extension to the LaRCsim flight model that allows you to fly several different aircraft ranging from a Twin Otter to an F4 Phantom, to a Boeing 747. <p> See <a href="http://www.flightgear.org/News/">the flightgear news page</a> for detailed changelog. | Flight Gear Flight Sim 0.7.3 | updated | |
