FlightGear v2.8.0 is available !

Yes, it can be made to work.

But if it wasn't broken it wouldn't be necessary to have to look for Wikis to find out how to make it work.

It's works out of the box for most Windows users.

None of the links support that conclusion.. Indeed, the first says "While I have yet to try this latest release...."

They are not reviews but rehashes of FlightGear's announcement with no suggestion that the authors actually used FlightGear.

Perhaps FlightSim could commission a proper review?

Cool, now you learned the difference between "reviews" and a "press review". Everyone is free to write a review, but reviews are really interesting for proprietary programs. With FlightGear, you don't have to pay and you can use it for free.

I already knew what a review is:

a critical appraisal of a book, play, film, etc. published in a newspaper or magazine
