If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

Yes, for me one of the best open games (vehicle simulator), a lot of the ROR features can be in FG too, torsion through beams simulation.

I've also played Sauerbraten (and all derivatives from Cube 2), so much hours doing custom maps..... Old but fun and addictive, no need for Call of Duty/Halo...

Another strong sim (but for space) is Pioneer, a realistic space aventure/simulation with a 3d procedural planet generation technology, very addictive too!

I think FG can reach some of points of these games/sim, there're no limits!

All under Linux/Windows/Mac

Oh yes, I also have Sauerbraten. It was very nostalgic of my Quake days.

You've made me remember old school games like The Hunt for Red October... I have only had a glance at these sims and never played with it much, but having an open source version would make things interesting.

...or you can just invert FG and treat it as a sub game :P

How could I forget Oolite? http://oolite.org/

I found it around the same time as FG.

I tried Pioneer -- man it is hard to figure out without constantly referring to the wiki. Hedgewars was super fun - makes me nostalgic of my Worms days.

So I just tried 0 A.D. - the Age of Empires vibe is uncanny.

Danger from the deep, i played it some years ago, but now don't work on my systems, i can't say nothing to you about how to configure it but its nice and very realistic. Shame the development is stalled.

I'm giving this a bump.

Any more interesting stuff?

Did you know there're hundreds of open-sourced games in Github? Try it!
