I've stepped back from being closely involved in the flightgear coding. James is the ultimate gatekeeper now. So much has changed since my last contribution, I'm not sure I would even know my way around the code. I would have resisted all the modern C++ features. There is a bunch of threading BS that I wouldn't have allowed in because of race conditions and crashes that happen. (But I acknowledge for visual graphics performance reasons sometimes you have to use threads.) I follow the devel mailing list, but I don't know if I've even ever created a gitlab account. I'm way behind on the transition from hub->lab. I wish I had more time in my day, but a few years ago we lost our university funding and I was forced to go get a "real" job ... and that job pays more than before, but the stress levels are sky high, the hours are long, but we are doing some cool stuff and I get to work with some great people so it's a new experience for me ... but leaves not many brain cells left over by the end of the day for anything else.
