An experience like no other (2015)

I wish FlightGear would fix their rendering engine. There's something terribly wrong with it. It's not uncommon for instrument panels to be rendered solid black in the noonday sun, even.

So, what does the scene look like today for realistic space flight sims (i.e. not KSP or Simple Rockets 2)? I remember Orbiter being the jam ten years ago, but I don't think it's even being developed anymore. Does FlightGear have any such capabilities? Anything else I don't know about?

I think Orbiter recently became Open Source, not sure what came out of it.

I had no idea FlightGear's space shuttle simulation was that detailed. I'll have to try it, I only flew it in X-Plane, and IIRC there was no ascent phase.
