Hi,
we have a Jumbolino aka BAe-146-200. It's not perfect, it's not graphic heavy, it could use more instruments, but hey, it flies and it looks like a Jumbolino ...

Have fun!

I don't appreciate the harsh wording tikibar, Not so nice. This place is really falling apart.
This is because FlightGear developers modified FGRUN so that JWocky's planes (specifically Voodoomaster) won't work.

If you paid for this software then you could have downloaded it for free at http://www.flightgear.org.
Similarly, there should be code for each aircraft model to display a splash screen the first time it is used with the developer's name and where to download it for free.
Just make sure that the source code for it is not simple to remove, and it will stop this guy ever recompiling a new version and selling it.
It won't stop him distributing what he has got now, but he can't keep selling old versions of Flightgear forever. Eventually he will have to move on to something else.

You're advocating the deliberate obfuscation of source code. This is explicitly forbidden under the definition of Open Source by the Open Source Initiative, and though not explicitly addressed by the GNU GPL, I would argue that it is against the spirit of the GPL -- far more than is the resale of software for money. Did it not occur to you that obfuscation would prevent me and every other FlightGear user from modifying the software as well?
It's a terrible idea.

In fact, this has been attempted before - and it caused quite some irritation among fellow contributors, it only takes a quick mailing list search to see how many flamewars were caused by such "creative programming". FlightGear is open source, and GPL, for a reason.
For example, I am referring here to hard coded routines coded directly into the C++ source code that were meant to obfuscate certain code and that were implemented by long-term FlightGear core developers who are intimately familiar with the FlightGear code bases.
