</noinclude><includeonly>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 This product is a direct copy of a really old and outdated version of [[FlightGear]] for which the FlightGear project does not provide support. {{PAGENAME}} goes to extreme measures to hide the fact that they are simply copying an old version of FlightGear and reselling it under a different name. In some cases they have tried to turn the tables and say that 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]].
