Virtual Pilot 3D - review blog shows as best FS-scam.

[Can A 1]

Hello All,

I was searching for reviews of P3D v.5, just to see how it compared with X-Plane 11 with respect to airliners and scenery etc... when I found a review on a blog. I wanted to post it here so people are aware that "Virtualpilot3d.com" is a scam (apparently, since I've seen tons of scam reports on this forum referring to known FS sites reviewing it.  Here is the link to this "best Flight sim" site:

Just an FYI and a warning to our amazing Flight Sim community.  🙂

Thanks for reminding us John. This scam has been around for at least 9-10 years now. The thing called "Virtualpilot3d" is actually a pirated version of the of the free open-source program called FlightGear (https://www.flightgear.org/) ..........Doug

Oh, it's my pleasure. 🙂  Except I had NO idea there was such a scam and almost bought it myself! Kinda embarrassed and since I always used either MSFS (2004 and FSX) or now, I use X-Plane, one of the major flightsims, I didn't even look at scams on flightsims. Oh well. I am glad I checked at the last minute before buying and saw the scam news.
