Hello Tim

This is my first post on your forums, although I read many posts and replies here to get tips and ideas.

I would like to ask a question, would you consider creating a version of Plan-G to work in Linux. Do you have the skill set to do this. Why I ask is that I use Ubuntu, now upgraded two days ago to version 17.10 Artful Aardvark, as much as I use Windows 10, and I run X-Plane 11 on it, along with the freeware FlightGear. I have tested a number of Linux distro's and have found Ubuntu to be the most game/SIM friendly and best performer for games/SIM's.

In some ways XP11 runs far smoother and better under Linux O/S than it does under Windows 10. There are some shortfalls, in that there are a number of X-Plane fat plugins not compiled to work under Linux, but overall I find the Linux experience better. Hence my request to port Plan-G to Linux.

I went through as many of the posts as possible and it looks like I might be the first requesting this.

I'll look into it for sure, but there are other versions in the queue too - MacOS, iPad, Android, so don't hold your breath for it happening quickly.
