I chose to ignore it and focus on making FlightGear better with every release to stay ahead of these attempts. So far FlightGear has come a long way and has succeeded in doing so with every release. I can only say one thing to that; be proud of what is achieved!
I really can understand those who don't really like the idea of someone selling something of which they themselves have contributed a tiny part (most of the time with countless hours of work. but still a tiny part; others have done the same you know). But I can only say; don't spent too much time on something that is allowed by the GPL, its bad for your heallt and sleep :) Seriously, be proud someone is interested in it. And then again; no one is preventing any of us to do the same in the end. That said, they do claim certain thing that are a true lie (shame on them), are disrespectful to images from our site (shame on them, but these are outdated anyway) and mix Flightgear and MS FlightSimulator X (which they might going to regret at some time since the name is still owned by Microsoft). For me personally; enough time spent on something that was hardly worth it. Erik ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
