I don't know.  They've got all kinds of shots of my old 747, which is pretty
darn ugly.  Maybe we're better off not being linked :-)

Heh, you could be right ...

..I found no FG DL url, sooo... as long as they don't sell or give 
away or otherwise distribute FG with their simulator hardware, 
they will be in compliance, but I'd much rather see them distribute 
both FG and their cool iron.  ;-)

This website is from a company that offers flight simulator rides on their

simulator.
These screenshots should prove that:

Well, it'd be nice if they'd add us in the "credits" - but I don't know 
if they are required to (probably it's enough if they display our splash 
screen when they start the simulator; probably they wouldn't even need 
that...)

But I wouldn't worry too much. They are in Bielefeld. So they are one of 
"them".
As everybody knows there's no Bielefeld. "They" only want to make us all 
believe that there is a town called Bielefeld...

(To make fun out of conspiracy theories some people in Germany want to 
make others believe that the town Bielefeld doesn't exist and that 
"they" only want us to believe that it does exist...
