I have started this page in order to refine the our approach to bringing FGFS to the masses. So let's get busy.
To begin with, what happens when you type in flight simulator into google? What do you see first? You see X-Plane first. What will most people do? Click on X-Plane. What do they see? They see a stunning video with a loud proclamation stating that "what you see is what you get". And that video, for laymen at least, packs a punch.
About twenty results down the line or so, you finally see FlightGear, a little, inconspicuous result. If you decide to click on it (if), all you see at first is a big download button (I know this might have seemed like a good idea at first). Go to the gallery, and you see pics from 5 versions or so. This is not good!
What we need to do is
1. make a better homepage
2. create a promo video that packs twice the punch of x-plane's
3. update the gallery
4. bribe google to get fgfs first on the llist
