You are free to share it anywhere, just remember to reference back to the original source, because it will keep getting updated, and hopefully the errors and mistakes will be minimized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\">I will always try to update this whenever there is a new version of SpaceEngine out, but it can take a little while, depending on the necessary changes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\">It is written on a \u201croleplaying\u201d style, and everything between brackets [like this] are said out of character. This entire page is also out of character.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\">This not yet revised, so some things may seem weird, out of place, or just not make sense at all. Only when it is completely finished (v 1.0) I will thoroughly read through all of it and fix everything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\">With that said, any comments, suggestions and corrections will be immediately considered, so it\u2019s possible I\u2019ll fix an error that someone pointed out, but not one that no one noticed yet. Or simply update something and not fix a problem very close to that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c4\">To be used at your own risk!<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div id=\"link-34\">\n<div id=\"link-66\">\n<h4 id=\"link-67\" class=\"se_h4\"><\/h4>\n<h4 id=\"link-67\" class=\"se_h4\">Jarschel\u2019s Space Flight School<\/h4>\n<h6 id=\"link-68\" class=\"se_h6\">(A hands-on guide for SpaceEngine ship piloting and commanding)<\/h6>\n<h6 id=\"link-69\" class=\"se_h6\">Version 1.0<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"link-35\">\n<h4 class=\"se_h4\">Index<\/h4>\n<div class=\"sgc-toc-level\"><a href=\"\/flight\/#link-14\">Preface<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sgc-toc-level\"><a href=\"\/flight\/#link-36\">Acknowledgements<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sgc-toc-level\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"sgc-toc-level\"><a href=\"\/flight\/#link-15\">1.
