Don't get conned! Don't buy Flight Pro Sim!

Flight Pro Sim is a copy/pirate of Flightgear. So don't buy this but rather donate/help the FG community. Consider flightprosim.com as a scammer but feel free to discuss such in the forum.

- Why pay $47 for a downgraded copy of a high quality, free, and open-source program?

- FlightProSim does not work on Linux, Mac OS X etc.

- It's not up-to-date like the original. The sources they provide on their "Disclaimer / Terms & Conditions" page: it's just a joke. Where are the sources of all the things they have on their screenshots?

Red Bull Air Race Incredible Recovery

Incredible Recovery from hitting water at Red Bull Air Race.




It's amazing the plane has enough energy to not only pull out of the stall in such short time, but also enough to overcome the drag from the water!
