ProFlightSimulator is NOT Flightgear!

Pro Flight Simulator is NOT Flightgear

I've sent an email to Dan Freeman, the creator of ProFlightSimulator.com to inquire:

"Dan, ProFlightSimulator seems like it is based on Flightgear. Could you explain why you're charging for this product?"

HIS REPLY:

ProFlightSimulator is a stand alone Flight Simulator.

As always disclosed this is a split / branch from the FlightGear community and has been set up for a very different reason.
It's different from FlightGear due to the numerous drastic changes to the game.
Here are some of the changes:
  • A plug and play system that works without the hassles of advanced customization

    Makes it easy to start playing the game without having the need to perform hard technical installation.
  • We offer a one stop launch system and makes it easy to add aircraft + scenery.

    No more messing with files for an hour and not knowing where to save them. Its a one-click installation process.
  • The complete start-up of the game was completely redone to help new users start out
  • There is a lot better hardware and add-on software capabilities. (Eg: Joystick support)
  • We have incorporated more photo realistic scenery. Updates are added monthly.
  • Reduce the lag effect in flight simulation
  • New aircraft and airplane models are added on a regular basis.
    (FlightGear does not provide new updates on a regular basis)
  • VATSim network integration! Fly with other gamers on aviation networks.
To be compliant, we've released the game until the GNU/GPL license. All images are attributed and licensed according to their respective licenses. 

There're also planned works to include a few major improvements in the next few months namely:

- Improving joystick interface (one-click configuration with all major flight control hardware)

- Intergrating VATSIM and other network support.

- Constant development of new aircrafts and new sceneries.

It would be much much different from what FlightGear was.

We have a team of paid developers who are working full time to add new code and new ideas to fully develop this

As such, the cost you'll be paying will go into the development of this game. There will be new changes and updates every month.

This is a separate branch of FlightGear and it may be based on it but it is definitely NOT similar in the
aspects mentioned above.

To say it is simply FlightGear would be inaccurate and illegal.

I hope that explains it all!
