@Botspot can you ban @LuuOW from pi-apps? The user keeps making the same comment/review on all PRs. I believe they are a bot using pi-apps to farm github stats.

Closing due to no response from the author.
Seems AI generated anyway. This really is just a "package app" with extra steps. We don't have any other flight sims in pi-apps so this would be disqualified for that reason even if implemented properly #185 .
