orbiter VS endless-sky

Also if you want to work on wind based simulation maybe this project might interest you https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter The flight dynamic model is not super accurate and the author is not using the off the shelf library like jsbsim so a lot of improvements are possible.

Still the same, but now it's gone open source, hoping for a quicker development by the community now :)

"OpenOrbiter" is a misnomer, because Orbiter is already open and under MIT. I want everyone to know and understand that the real Orbiter repo, with commits being directly made by the good doctor is this one: https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter

If you like space there is vega strike , pioneer and orbiter.

As a sidenote, it looks like the author released orbiter on GitHub: https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter

orbiter? (it's a space simulator)

Sounds very similar to Endless Sky[1] - another open source game drawing on the old Escape Velocity games. I really enjoyed both Endless Sky and the Escape Velocity games, so I'll have to check out Naev at some point!

There's an open source successor to Escape Velocity that's fun and continues to grow:

https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky

#2 - Endless Sky - ALSO inspired by Escape Velocity, but IMO this is more polished Escape Velocity clone and could reasonably be called the modern successor. EXCELLENT space trade/piracy/combat and definitely take some good strategy to get far into the game.
