In my opinion, this is a very professional con. I expect nothing can be done, because the previous three times the company/individual-in-charge has refused to respond to the BBB. For what it’s worth, three previous reports to the Better Business Bureau have been made, and I filed a new complaint. This is beyond their shady marketing tactics, since as far as I know they have never issued a refund to anyone. The distributor in question promises a 60-day money back guarantee, no questions asked. It also has some of the real facts and figures, which completely contradict the main sales page. And the affiliates page offers a major incentive to keep the con alive. Once you’ve paid for the re-branded version of FlightGear, you can access the affiliates page from that very site. From my experience, the primary distributor seems to be at the top of this sick little scheme. I didn’t even lose as much money as I could have, but it still makes me furious.Ī comment was made that the “distributor” can’t be held responsible for his affiliates. I have sadly had personal experience with “ProFlight Simulator,” and did my research a little too late.

Can I get a refund ?Ī: That is something you will have to take up with the distributors of Flight Pro Sim. Q: Has Flight Pro Sim contributed to the FlightGear project at all ? Q: Is there any relationship between the makers of Flight Pro Sim and the FlightGear Project?

Restricting the modifications that are allowed and what people can do with the software goes against that ethos. Q: Why do the FlightGear developers allow this ?Ī: The freedom to modify and enhance FlightGear is a core part of the project, and of open-source in general. Any claims by Flight Pro Sim that they support the FlightGear project are entirely wishful thinking on their part. No such payment has been offered, no such payment has been made. No such payment is required, as FlightGear is GPL software. Q: Has Flight Pro Sim paid any money to FlightGear for the rights to the program ?Ī: No. In fact, those interested in receiving a DVD containing FlightGear may do so through the main FlightGear website, and directly contribute to the project (though they may want to wait for the upcoming release in the new year). Q: Is it legal to sell a copy of FlightGear, whether re-branded or not?Ī: Yes, provided the seller is in compliance with a number of conditions detailed in the GPL. This is primarily an ethical, not a legal issue. The main issue that FlightGear developers have is the misleading marketing tactics used by pro flight sim that target unsuspecting users who aren’t yet familiar with FlightGear.

Q: Is it legal for the makers of Flight Pro Sim to simply re-brand FlightGear ?Ī: Under the GNU GPL v2 () this is legal, provided that they distribute the source code (or make it available). Q: What is the difference between FlightGear and Flight Pro Sim?Ī: As far as we have been able to make out, the only difference between FlightGear v1.9.1 and Flight Pro Sim is a change in name throughout the software, and the fact that you have to pay for it.

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.įlightGear is an open-source flight simulator that was created in 1996. However, the marketing tactics of the Flight Pro Sim guys have caused more than a bit of confusion with end users. These “new” simulators are simply a rebranding of the FlightGear open-source flight simulator. As many people will be aware, there is a (self described) “new” flight simulator product that is being widely and actively marketed at the moment under various names – Flight Pro Sim, Pro Flight Simulator, etc.
