Just to re-iterate - the best defence is a good offence. Stop worrying about FPS, and make FG better (by contributing), or promoting it better. It's essentially a marketing scam, not a competing product. (The current flightgear.org website doesn't do us many favours, here). If people are determined to throw money away because 'free' stuff isn't as good, I ain't gonna stop them - they're going to get scammed sooner or later. >> Failing a positive outcome there I support a re-licensing of the software, >> to >> prevent this kind of thing.
