And since Apple is charging a small fee, they will not be as stringent on stableness. Anyway, Apple is hoping to get as many applications onto the App Store as possible to build it up in its opening stage, and I thought you might be interested. I myself discovered FlightGear when I was looking for a flight suit for my friend- a coincidental Google Search of 'Flight Gear' revealed your simulator.

By putting FlightGear on the Mac App Store, you would be reaching possibly millions and millions of people, whom might just be looking for a free, community-enriched Flight Simulator. I will report my findings after my initial flight on FlightGear). As a developer of multiple iPhone apps, I can tell you that Apple mandates a pretty smooth and userfriendly ride. With a free flight simulator like FlightGear, you have the potential to submit your application, once it is stable and relatively bug-free (which I must stress the importance of. You might sense what I'm getting at here. Apple hopes to have all developers submit their product to the App store, paid or nonpaid, rendering the traditional browse-click-download-install method of the internet obsolete. I would like to inform you, as you may also know, that Apple just opened their Mac App Store- for those of you that have iPhones or iPads, it's designed to become the principal download location for a Mac.

As you know, it is difficult to find an original game/simulator/application that works on a Mac off the box without purchasing an entirely different product. I was very intrigued that it supported Windows, Linux, and even Mac. I have heard about FlightGear first in 2009 on the web. Not only have you created a free, sophisticated software, you have made a strong community comprised entirely of volunteers! I am downloading FlightGear as we speak, and anticipate my 'return to flight' very much! As an Apple and a Flight Simulator enthusiast for a long time (during the 1990's I experimented with many primitive sims like Flight Simulator 98), I would like to tell you how impressed I am with your simulator.
