? re: http://www.flightgear.org/flightprosim.html
I've just tried posting a link to this on facebook to warn all my friends, but unfortunately the information automatically extracted by the facebook sharing mechanism for the page is as follows: ______________________ FlightGear Flight Simulator http://www.flightgear.org/flightprosim.html FlightGear is an open-source flight simulator that was created in 1996. It is released under the GNU General Public License v2, and as such, it is free to use, modify and distribute with few restrictions. It has been developed with the collaboration of a large number of individuals over the last 14+ [NO IMAGE] ______________________ What it needs to be is something more like: ______________________ "Flight Pro Sim" - FlightGear statement As many people will be aware, there is a (self described) "new" flight simulator product that is being widely and actively marketed at the moment under various names - Flight Pro Sim, Pro Flight Simulator, etc. These "new" simulators are simply a rebranding of the FlightGear open-source flight simulator. However, the marketing tactics of the Flight Pro Sim guys have caused more than a bit of confusion with end users. To help provide some clarity and answer some common questions, we (the core FlightGear development team) felt it was appropriate to make a statement, and provide a FAQ. [NICE IMAGE] ______________________ i.e. the title of the page plus the first paragraph. The facebook sharing mechanism is unable to find any images. Is this important? Yes, a link without an image is very unlikely to gain the necessary attention in the crowded 'wall space' of facebook. Would it be possible to change the page to be more facebook friendly as described above? By the way, in writing this post, I've just had the thought that "FlightGear Flight Pro Sim statement", if read/seen in isolation, could give the impression that "Flight Pro Sim" is *part of * the FlightGear project, hence my proposed reworded title above ""Flight Pro Sim" - FlightGear statement".
