 Hi there,

 I reported author 'Dan H Freeman' to that website as being misleading about
 his software and running a scam, explaining the situation with FlightGear
 and ProFlightSim. They asked if I was a 'representative' of FlightGear. I
 replied that I was a user of the software, but not deeply involved in the
 development/community as such. They then suggested that if the
 creators/operators of flightgear would like to contact them then please go
 ahead.

 So if anyone more entrenched in the development of fg would like to take up
 this offer to communicate with EzineArticles, regarding Dan H Freeman and
 his little enterprise, please let me know. I will forward the contact email
 address. The goal I suggested to EzineArticles would be to remove his
 articles from the site, due to the misleading nature of his business. I
 informed them of reports from people being ripped off by the scam, and about
 the use of mis-appropriated historical names on the websites and other
 immoral tactics being used, including the registration of the
 'www.flightgear.us' domain.


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

All the ezinearticles looklike a scam to me. I note an Affiliates program -
sound familiar? Dan H Freeman's articles are riddled with spelling mistakes
and inaccuracies try this one:

P51 - 

Infact, it is said that nearly 5 pilots earned the name Aces after
killing enemies flying this plane.

4.9 pilots perhaps?
