I stumbled upon this sim while looking for a training sim for flying RC airplanes. Anybody ever heard of it? It's cheap at just $47 for the starter sim and $67 for the whole-world scenery. Very interesting. I wonder if the scenery looks like FS9/FSX, or if it's like what you see in Google Earth?

Doesn't look that great and the VC's are atrocious. More like FS2002 or even CFS2.

There are no full size, hi-res, screenshots, which means they were probably counting on the small size to make detail look better,

Anytime someone lists a price as being marked down 3 increments ($97.00 $67.00 $47.00), it smacks of an infomercial.

Then you have to buy additional scenery (ADD JUST $167.00 $97.00 $67.00) to get all of the airports they advertise?

I think I'll have to pass on this one... Roll Eyes

Read somewhere this is someone trying to sell FlightGear.

Don't argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

FlightGear is a freebie, ain't it? If someone is trying to sell freeware, they is lookin' ats legal trouble, right?

WARNING!!

Flight Pro Sim IS FlightGear!!

it appears some morally-impaired ppl have packaged it and are selling it as a commercial game

DO NOT BE FOOLED! FlightGear is a freeware open-source project supported by the community

there is a reason why the two look so similar -- ITS THE SAME SIM!
i believe this is a case of "freeware piracy" and if isn´t illegal, it should be

get Flight Gear, it´s free!

and if you do, please help me out, ´cuz i gant get mine to work Tongue
