Well, it being open source, the code is out there. So anyone can take
it and use it, that means a bunch of IYP clones... and one of them
will continue development, possibly.

Subject: [bvipilots] Open Sourcing Its your Plane
Hi Robert and all,
This idea has been floating around my head for a while, ever since I got
into Flight Simulation but am limited by the abilities of IYP, Ex.
unsupported aircraft I'd love IYP to support that would probably take for
ever to implement.
For example, Aerosoft's airbus's, aircraft from iFly, etc.
all of these aircraft feature Flight Management Computers (FMCs) which
include Flight Planning, fuel, even the ability to autoland and choose how
you want to fly the plan.
There are other things that IYP should support too. A perfect example would
be the new Flight Sim World, available for early access on Steam. I wonder
if early access means free, i'd be curious to check out the interface.
So basically, what I'm saying is, should Robert open IYP up? Should he give
the code away, make it free software, and have the flight simming community
make improvements to it, add more aircraft, etc? The next question to ask
is, what to do with the online services?
Of course the tradeoff here is that if he opens it, someone may just
completely remove blind pilot mode or something.
I'm curious, what does everyone think about the idea? IYP could continue
development, but as I said I hope whoever takes it over would have the
decency to continue developing blind pilot mode.
