** the huge number of ads placed on the official website, and the non-intuitive layout of the website caused quite some irritation, not only among new users, but also among seasoned long-time contributors - flightgear.org has been repeatedly described as leaving the impression of even being a "scam" [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=18863] [http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg39533.html] | |||
** {{Thumbs down}} A little downside is how the FGcom is done as a standalone program just cooperating with FG itself.

** {{Thumbs down}} Most likely because of the Intel graphics, I suffered for a long time from a problem with aircraft models (and some ground textures too) being black or missing some parts (see my post in an older thread complaining about similar problem). I solved it by adding a command line option turning off texture compression.
