Yes. It's fabulous. It drives a lot like SolidWorks.

The geosync sats have an interesting distribution. Most are directly over the equator, but some are tilted, and there are relatively few over the mid-Pacific.

The pulldown specials are fun, like the nav sats and the Westford Needles.

Get Firefox!
