 This is a Formula Student Driverless Simulator (FSDS).
 FSDS is a community project with the goal to provide an end-to-end simulation for FS Driverless teams. 
 It simulates all commonly used sensors and is compatible with ROS. 
-This project has proven itsself during [FS-Online 2020](https://formulastudentonline.com/) where 4 driverless teams competed.

 # Connecting to the simulator with ROS

+You can use the ROS bridge to connect the simulator to ROS1 and ROS2.
 The ROS bridge will publish the sensordata from the simulator into ROS topics.
 Your autonomous system will be able to publish car-control messages which the ROS bridge will send to the simulator.
 
-The ROS bridge only works on Ubuntu.
+The ROS bridge works on Ubuntu or in WSL in windows (but it is harder to set up).
 If you have the simulator running on windows we reccommend Windows Subsystem for Linux.
 This offers a virtual Ubuntu machine within Windows.
 You can read [here how to install it](software-install-instructions.md). 
 While you are at it you might also want to [install Xming](software-install-instructions.md) so you can run rviz and rqt_plot from within WSL.
