I'm not back, I just can't go 2 weeks without nasalscript :D (or PID controllers). So I work a little in spare time.

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?

Progress on the project is slowly restarting, in the last few days new ITAF versions have been installed and both tankers got an improvement to their 3D, more to come in short time (hopefully).
