Much worse, it is not just closed-source & but also is shareware/trialware software.[1]
JFTR, I'm using some closed-source apps/games, BUT only if it is unrestricted freeware software.[2]
Talking about simulators, under Linux I use freeware YS Flight Simulator (aka YSFlight)[3], because it is lightweight in comparison to very powerful FlightGear, which is one of the best examples of FLOSS simulators for pilots training[4].
