This kind of thing happens sometimes -- not much we can do unless we want to spend tens of thousands of $$ going to court, so there's no point getting stressed. I did go to Google Sidewiki and leave a comment on the page, so that anyone using the Google toolbar or a sidewiki add-on in their browser will see this as the first (and so far, only) comment:
Just a repackaged free flight sim Although this site doesn't admit it, Flight Pro Sim appears to be just a repackaging of the open source FlightGear flight simulator, available at http://www.flightgear.org/ Maybe other people would like to add similar comments. I like SideWiki because it prevents sites from censoring open commenting on any web page (though I'd be happier if a single company didn't control it).
