• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Someone check this out and confirm or kill my suspissions.

It claims to "blow Microsoft simulator out of the water". From their screen shots, it doesn't appear that way to me. In fact it looks more like FS2002.
 
yes its flight gear and "legally" their allowed to, its all been discussed before, more info can be found over in the flight gear forums :)
 
If you ask me, it's a scam.

It IS the former Flightgear and the claims on the product page are outrageous to anyone not familiar with Flight Simulator.

I'd be ashamed if I were part of the flightsim community to put out a sim that looks and feels like FS98 and sell it as if it were better than FSX even !

But your Sir are an Honorable Person and a true member of the Flight Simulation Community.

They are not. They are the just scum looking to turn a buck.
 
Even though it isn't legally SCAM, it is still SPAM in my book. I went to both sites on the first posting here, then saw it on Facebook. How do people get away with such poop?

Money. They pay FB for the ad space. The only way to do anything about it is to click the little "x" at the top-right of the ad, then check the "other" button. When they ask why, provide a link that shows their ads to be overblown, if not outright false. If enough people provide that type of feedback, maybe FB will pull the plug on them. After doing a little digging, this is the link that I'll be providing to FB:
http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/FlightProSim
 
You can also click the 'misleading' choice on the Facebook ad. Not sure if it'll help much. I think money is more important than honesty in most (human) cases.
