As many people | As many people are aware, there is a new flight simulator product that is being widely and actively marketed at the moment - '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (also promoted as '''ProFlightSimulator''', '''FlightSimPro''', '''Earth Flight Sim''', '''FlightProSim''', '''Real Flight Simulator'''). This product is a direct copy of [[FlightGear]]. {{PAGENAME}} goes to extreme measures to hide the fact that they are simply copying FlightGear and reselling it. In some cases they have tried to turn the tables and say the FlightGear is ripping them off and pirating their work. This has caused some confusion for many people. To help provide some clarity, and answer some common questions, we (the core FlightGear development team) felt it was appropriate to make a statement, and provide a [[FAQ]]. | ||
