This style of hyper-specialized homebrew software is so fascinating. I wonder if the developer "works in the industry" or somehow has access to the systems, or if it's all pulled from field manuals and the like.
I suspect it's mostly field manuals and exported references.
With older systems, it's easier to get hands on those as they've been exported to so many places around the world. I know DCS for example has had trouble getting their hands on manuals for current Russian equipment (there's explicit laws on it that's hampered a lot of their development there), but for older systems, there's a lot you can find outside the country of origin.
Yes, and yes! Imagine the progress and creativity that would be unleashed if people were free to do their hobbies full-time, instead of working BS jobs.
