Well, I don't want to get into a flame war, however FG runs on windows
because a few dedicated souls (like Curtis Olson) strive to make the program
cross-platform compliant, and it's not always easy or fun...

If you want to build a world-class simulator you need access to the OS
internals and the ability to control hardware other than through the
application layer. And peek and poke just don't cut it.

But from what I've seen, the market is for hardware and interfaces to work
with and in the windows environment so one either goes with the flow, sets
their own course, or does without.

Enjoyed the stories and pics on your website. These projects have a way of
consuming us, don't they?  ;-)
