FlightGear Forum

as in FG, it must be made in "what you see is what you get", a video with a theme showing how flightgear can be customizable with different features, like the built-in instruction station, flight tracking web interface, easy and free multi player integration with the sim using provided servers, our excellent terrain out-of-the-box(better than FSX), visuals based on realism(ALS), great multi-platform performance with lower-end systems, showing example from fsweekend etc etc
Flightgear must appeal to the right crowd if we want to have growing community, not just the casual tester that excpect only great graphics(usually will give negative feedback)
I think the reasoning behind not having a graphicly intensive main page is because some users around the world still have very slow data connections. You don't technicaly need internet access to use flightgear, just to obtain it.
Having a page with everything like that would be nice though. I've tried searches on youtube for howto and flightgear an I don't get very good results. More users should make videos of stuff like how to edit/create content, add new aircraft, etc... then we could use the video to write out a wiki article base on the videos for the users with lower data rates.
If my microphone was not so horrible I would read out the wiki articles and follow the howto's and make them into videos for the faster data users. CamStudio works quite well for this but if FG is run while recording I would turn down the recording FPS to about 10 so higher quality scenery can be enabled.
Who maintains the main site?
@MIG29pilot
From the time you created this topic FG is now listing at #5, gained a position since the June 4th when it was 6th.
Give me control over the main site for a day and I'll do it, but I dont think the devs would give me that privelage, all they realy would have to do is all of the above. Which isn't alot, thats exactly what major SEO companies do for major corporations and its all FREE 
They can make every subdomain of the FG site SSL totaly free in less than a few hours.
