My hope is that FS2020 will be the basis for many more real world sims as the technology improves. I imagine a ship, train sim would go over quite well. Would be great if they were all in the same in game session. Can also picture tycoon a

Senior developer at 21 is part of the problem with software now. Companies only want to hire young people but those hires have very little life skill or knowledge outside of their field. They arrive with vim for the latest and greatest shu
