I was trying to figure out "What's in it for them?". Having a read of the article the link below, it reads well and looks balanced until you get to the bottom of the page. The last few paragraphs says: >From >http://ezinearticles.com/?Is-The-F/A-22-Raptor-The-Best-Figher-Jet-In-2011?&id=5345920 "Download the *MOST REALISTIC* airplane flight simulator ever created for home users. Click the link to visit ProFlightSimulator below: - airplane games Experience real life flying with accurate worldwide scenery based on actual terrian with over 20,000 real airports and 120 different planes. Its the next best thing to being up there! " So they get a better page ranking on Google due to the links back to the proflightsimulator. Grrr. Note: Terrian is their typing mistake. lol Regards George ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
