Level 1: Wasserspender in der Stadt ist kaputt. Ich möchte das mit dem Mängelmelder melden.

Level 2: Mängelmelde-Seite ist kaputt. Ich möchte das mit dem "Feedback"-Knopf am Rand melden.

Level 3: Der Knopf wird beim Anklicken etwas kleiner, tut aber sonst nichts.

Kennt jemand einen Mängelmeldermängelmeldermängelmelder? 🤔

Some tips and tricks for #FlightGear:

Ctrl+C labels and highlights the controls in the cockpit.

The browser map (Equipment -> Map (opens in browser)) was much more helpful for me than the in-game ones. You need the `--httpd=8080` launch option for this.

Another open-source project has a brilliant documentation of the A320's controls: https://docs.flybywiresim.com/pilots-corner/a32nx/a32nx-briefing/flight-deck/

By the way, #FlightGear also allows you to fly: - Hot air balloons - Helicopters - Gliders - Airships - The freaking *Space Shuttle*! Hats off to the devs, who have been building/maintaining this for almost 30 years now!

I was pretty impressed by #FlightGear, the GPL-licensed flight simulator! If you crank the graphics settings up, and don't look too closely, it looks pretty okay! Here's a flight over Hamburg! I thin...

Almost all buttons in the cockpit do something, and referring to real books, manuals, and charts worked really well!

Here's FlightGear's cockpit of a smaller plane, a Cessna 172P.

Here's a flight over Hamburg! I think flightgear pulls data from OSM. Can you find the CCH? The people in the stadium in the front are in for a surprise in their next game, though! :P

Taking off is easier than landing, though! 😅
