So Sonalysts make us a less than $200.00 naval warfare sim which is GOOD.

I beg to differ.
Have you even tried Orbiter before stating that open source/freeware community driven games go nowhere ?
Orbiter is a first class Simulation software. If it were sold in retail it would have minimum a 1000 pages manual detailing an introductory course into orbital dynamics for starters. :rotfl:

The important point is having a focused development schedule. And its achievable in open source/freeware much better than in proprietary development. Have you seen how many ****ing bugs are still in DW ? They will never ever be fixed. You find that a good situation ? Me, not in the least.
