I had just recently download old xsabre source code and made it compile on a modern system. Interesting that it is possible to compile something pre-c++ standardization with just a few changes. Another interesting project: This guy resurrected gl-117 and is maintaining and improving it: https://askmisterwizard.com/2019/LinuxAirCombat/LinuxAirCombat.htm https://askmisterwizard.com/2019/LinuxAirCombat/LinuxAirComb... makes me remember "Certain Impact" a little. If anybody else is interested in another abandoned open source flight sim, Palomino (https://sourceforge.net/projects/palomino-sim/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/palomino-sim/) seemed very promising while it was under development.

  A quick search on sourceforge revealed these: - https://sourceforge.net/projects/drts/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/drts/ - https://sourceforge.net/projects/csp/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/csp/ - https://sourceforge.net/projects/facsimulation/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/facsimulation/ Abandoned source code feels like carcasses of sunken ships waiting for someone to rescue whatever is still valuable. Makes me a bit sad and hopeful in a certain way.

    > Abandoned source code feels like carcasses of sunken ships waiting for someone to rescue whatever is still valuable. Yep. This year I discovered that there is active development on ACM 6.0 (enhanced fork of ACM 5.0).[0] I just hope that someone would also take a look on Vertigo for continuous development and porting it to Linux and other modern platforms.

      Vertigo is old enough and lightweight enough it might work for a side project of mine, so thanks for making me aware!

        Great! Ping me on Twitter when there would be some progress ;) P.S.: There is already mirror of Vertigo files created by someone on GitHub today.[0] [0] https://github.com/gspu/Vertigo-Flight-Simulator https://github.com/gspu/Vertigo-Flight-Simulator

  I loved that among Lin Warrior. Libre games have lots of gems out there.
