An aborted journey into accessible flight simulation:
It's been quiet here for a couple of weeks because a project I was hoping to begin fell through.

@fastfinge Also, I don't know if you know this or not but your links aren't starting with http.

@blindndangerous They’re html formatted and tweesecake is failing to handle that. Every single other client works correctly.

Update: i got a response from an info email address with an apology and a Dropbox download link. Unfortunately, clicking the link tells me I don’t have permission to access the file.

Update again: after two more email exchanges, I now have a working password, and they uploaded the file on my server directly so I can access it. I have no idea what will happen with updates, but I'll jump off that bridge when I come to it.

@fastfinge Curious on how it's improved since the last time I used it. Apart from actually getting the thing.

@blindndangerous I never used the free version, so I don't know. First thing I apparently need to do is get a geonames username.

@fastfinge I really enjoyed flight siming. It was a great way to learn a bunch of new stuff. But the whole process is so fragmented. Get this addon for weather. THis one for atc. This one for these places. Though I've heard good things about TFM, I never used it as by that time I didn't feel like buying prepar3d and fsx didn't work great either.
