I strongly agree. The first page needs to be clear and simple and without flash and non html garbage. One simple impressive front page thing is an encapsulated youtube or other video that shows great video of flight gear in action. THAT makes people see what the flight sim is all about and it takes no more space than a single still photo and does NOT choke browsers.
