    Disgraceful Misleading Branding

    I know that no-one here would be fooled by this but I think this piece of product branding at Amazon is a disgrace....

    That's been going on for years. It is a most blatant rip off.

    Lol.. Funny.

    Well, the advert does say FlightGear, it is a flight simulator, and the 2020 is a community thumbsucked name, originally created by the guys at Avsim, and is not used by either ASOBO nor Microsoft.
    Not really misleading at all, apart from the longstanding Flightgear ripoff.

    The FlightGear ripoff returns. This is like a bad movie that ends up getting a dozen sequels.
