Someone posted this into the FA Discord.
Does anyone know or claim ownership to this?

https://github.com/terrence2/openfa

Inquiring over there to find out what's what but figured I'd post it here.
Until we know more, download at your own risk.
Disclaimer, I won't be until I know more.

News to me. I'm downloading a couple of the .zips which I'll explore on my Win ME machine.

I extracted the files in the zips without any issue. Could not run the .exe files because the programs are 64 bit. Opened several other files with Wordpad. The files are named as if they relate to FA. If I were as knowledgeable with Win 10 as I am with WinME, I'd run the programs.

I should be able to get it to run.
I'm on W10 after all.

Never heard of this... What exactly is this person or persons doing? Are they trying to adapt the game to 64 bit when it already runs fine on Win10? Are they changing the graphics engines, etc? Do they know the work we do here? All I see is an image of the default F-18...

So this is an interesting video, someone's working on a new flight sim?
But does some FA flying?

I haven't watched it all, it's a few hours.

I guess GitHub is like a wiki for projects... I think the open FA and this other project are not related beyond the use of FA an an example tool and a reference for his development of his own flight sim. At least that is what I got out of it trying to watch it before I fell asleep!
