Pictures promoting the app show the infamous ProFl*Sim package. It also has a link to the profl*sim website (e.g. FlightGear dot us). So, it's another activity of the ProFl*Sim scammers. They certainly haven't ported FG to Android, so it's either a complete hoax - or they indeed try to sell the Android remote control (pretending it to be a full flightsim). My guess is the latter (since it saves them work of creating a hoax application first).
This site offered the "FlightGear" (ProFl*Sim) package for Android until a few hours ago: http://de.appbrain.com/app/flightgear/com.flightgear Now it just says "This app is unfortunately no longer available on the Android market.". Ha...
