All major flight sim websites have published warnings on their pages and/or
forums. Just search on Avsim.com or FlightSim.com for "ProFlightSimulator" (or
whatever name they've come up with) and you'll find a bunch of results. 52 hits
on Avsim and 22 topics on FlightSim.com alone. You can find even more when
searching for all the names that we've collected so far:
http://wiki.flightgear.org/Category:FlightGear_vendors I think "the flight sim
world" as a whole is about as good informed as we possibly can...
One of the more recent additions to the (growing) PFS family, "VirtualPilot 3D"
was used by most websites to act as a "reminder" that a couple of such products
are actively advertised.
I would like to advise anyone interested in ordering a new flight simulator to
consult the major websites before spending such large amounts of money. Sadly
people new to flightsimming are most likely not aware of those websites when
they encounter PFS. I have no idea how we can reach those...
Ivan, maybe you can tell us at what place(s) you'd have expected to see a
warning? What websites did you consult before buying this product? Anything we
missed?
Cheers,
Gijs
