flightprosim is a *SCAM*.

What this jerk is doing is taking a build of FlightGear and selling it. 
He's not adding any value at all or adding any new functionality to 
FlightGear.  He's preying on people that don't know they can get the same 
thing for free by just downloading it.

For those that don't know, FlightGear is an open source flight simulator 
project that's been around since 1996.  It's a fantastic project that has 
made some huge leaps in recent years.  It was featured at FSWeekend 2010 a 
few weeks ago - running *10* displays from a single computer.  If memory 
serves, it was 8 out the cockpit views and 2 instrument panel views.
They also showed off native support for 3D glasses. (Anamorphic Stereo is 
what I _think_ they called it)

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
