i don't know  a lot about player and what it can do but:
in addition to other opinion about adding player support, i think going
toward standardization must be one of the main changes to our simulator, and
adding player support is a big gait,
also making physics and graphics more modular and adding an abstraction
layer to them help to improve relevant component when needed, not especially
with OGRE or OSG.
above changes(that are toward standardization) makes our simulator more
popular and when number of users grown, the simulator improves(more and
more) too.
