You're trying to *sell* a product by initially defending whether or not it's a scam? C'mon people.Īlas, Pro Flight Simulator is nothing more than the freeware package that's been around for years called, "Flight Gear", of which there are both Mac and PC versions. Really? How stupid do they assume the general public is, anyway. And then of course it went on to say quite emphatically that it was not a scam and how absolutely wonderful the software is. One of the supposed review sites actually had the title: Pro Flight Simulator: Is it a scam?". In fact if you look at the internal pages for Pro Flight Simulator you'll find they're actively looking for affiliates to post their "review" and subsequently offer the product for sale.ģ.
Every review I found also had several hot-links back to the primary website for "Pro Flight Simulator" and it became clear that the review sites were truly nothing more than affiliates who had jumped on-board to try and sell it. I found that every "review" was nothing more than a boiler-plate of over-hyped positive commentary - and that nearly every review posted was nothing more than a copy-paste of this same initial review - a word for word duplicate.Ģ. I first became alerted to the possibility that this new flight-sim offering might be more hype than reality by three very significant things:ġ. But in fact it's a wolf in sheep's clothing: Make no mistake, this is a very well-disguised and pre-packaged scam!! At first blush it seemed like something that would trounce the current flight-sim king, FSX, what with the glossy marketing campaign and short but well-produced video teaser. In my own perusal of the 'net looking for the "latest and greatest" in FSX enhancements I came across a "new" flight simulator that's been getting a lot of web-visibility called, "Pro Flight Simulator". And, whether or not there's something being developed that's better than Microsoft's Flight Simulator "X" or, FSX as it's users and fan-base commonly refer to it.
If you enjoy the hobby/passion of flight simulation then you're most likely always on the lookout for add-on's and ways to make it more realistic.
