It's Flightgear. There are a few of them around, all designed to take your money for something you can get for free.

I keep an eye on Flight Gear just out of interest - I've never seen anything even approaching this level of detail though:

Possibly just a Photoshop job on some of the images?

...either that it's Orbx scenery with the Carenado Bonaza in FSX (that Bonanza scheme and scenery looks awfully familar to me)

The image which displays the planes lined up at the airport

is the same airport as shown in a recent post by charl http://nzff.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17802,well it looks close
i guess the one you have shown is merged Orbx maybe ?

Hah we have come to the same conclusion...

Take at look at this Bonanza...the rego and scheme in particular (you will need to go to the Bonaza F33 page and look at the screen shots of the UK registered Bonanza)

Yes that is London City by UK2000.
Probably best not to go clicking around this topic too much on da internetz, see:
http://forum.avsim.net/page/index.html/_/p...scam-alert-r299
Funny how suddenly there's a lot of ugly stuff in the flightsim world again: hacking, spamming, denial of service... you'd think they'd have grown up since the last round perhaps.

If you haven't gathered already, VirtualPilot3D is a scam and you should not even consider purchasing it. Even if you got anything after giving them your money, it would be flightgear or some other freeware or copyrighted material they didn't develop or license themselves. STAY CLEAR!

Yes they have been at it for years. Their last effort was Pro Flight Simulator, which was more the FlightGear scam... it looks like they are getting more desparate with this one though, showing screenshots using FSX add-ons and others. Again, don't even click on their website link. They don't need the encouragement!
