Hi FlightGear folks,
(I am only temporarily posting to the dev list. I'll remove myself following
this interchange about ProFlightSimulator).
I'm posting because I was so infuriated as a consumer about the
ProFlightSimulator that I bought on Nov. 23rd for $50. It was not what I
expected at all, UI-controls-wise, and in any case I could not get it to run. I
posted a complaint via their tech support site, asking for my money back. I
then cancelled payment via the American Express complaint site. I then dug in
to see what I could find:
-- There is no company name on their web site. I browsed through several pages
until I found this: Dan Freeman 13 Hickson Road, Walsh Bay, Sydney, NSW,
Australia
-- I searched for complaints and went six pages deep in a Google search without
finding anything. It appears that Dan has flooded the internet with bogus
reviews such that not a negative word appears. He also has a couple sites that
are _bogus scam expose sites_(!!) that report back that ProFlightSImulator is a
great product!
-- Finally down in page seven of the search I came across messages that
originated in this list. I read all of those, and now feel all the more
infuriated to find that your good work has been expropriated for profit. I am
sure he is raking in big bucks, as, to a novice like me,* it _appears_ to be a
breakthrough product that is "better than MS Flight SImulator!!"
Their site has this guarantee: "To back that claim, you have my 100% Risk Free
Unconditional Money-Back Guarantee. If after 8-weeks of using this simple, yet
powerful 3D software and you're not satisfied - I'll refund your money...no
questions asked."
I am waiting to see if I get my money back.
Thanks for your good work on FlightGear.
