This post has several intentions:
- Make this devs known to the general public, and recommend their work.
- See if they can make a brief apperance here and comment what they are doing.
The MSFS 2024 is flooded with very bad quality products from really bad devs, this is of course in detriment of the sim itself because casual simmers or new users can just see an aircraft they like, purchase it, get disappointed and then assume everything is as bad as that product.
But we also have some really great devs, some of them very well known and this post is not about them, we all know them. This is about some small boutique devs that really care about the quality of their products.
I’m afraid the MSFS 2024 release has hurt these good guys more than the bad guys, it is easy to assemble a model for a quick cash grab but it is hard for what are often 1 man teams to develop for the new sim and get a high quality product out there.
So here they are, and if you are around here please chime in!
Bluemesh.
The dev behind the sensational Latecoere 631, maybe one of the most beautiful FFs or LLs released for the sim, also behind some of the default MSFS 2024 aircraft like the M24 gyro. I wonder what is next in line!
FSReborn
We all know the quality of Raul’s products, he is behind the Sting S4, the FSR 500 and the Sirius TL3000 and has been working in the Phenom 300, hope you are doing great.
RaraAvis
Developer of several unique aircraft like the Ho229, the FlyingFlea, the Bulldog Gyro or the Electric Wren. I wonder if you have something up the sleeve coming up soon.
Ant’s Airplanes
They did a wonderful DH82, a very nice Drifter and the fabolous Winjeel, always with a very low profile, is there anything new coming? If you don’t know this dev, go take a look these are great add-ons.
AT simulations
They created the fantastic Antonov An-2, the great Dornier Seastar and they also have some other add-ons like the Cri-Cri. I wonder if AT is doing something now and when we can expect another product, those are great, hope something else is in the kitchen.
BRSimDesigns
They have some nice products too, the A5 Tiger, the Xingu or the Ercoupe but have disappeared in the last months and their products have not been updated to 2024. Hope this is coming soon and something new too.
Mike Johnson
He is frequently in the forums providing updates and suppor for the fantastic Albatross, great detail in all his products. Hey Mike is there anything coming from you any time soon?
COWS
They delivered the DA-40 and DA-42 in studylevel detail for a great price to the world of MSFS. I hope they have a next project, not sure if it is another diamond or not but we really would like something more from them.
SwissMilSim
They might have closed shop because after the Venom and Vampire nobody ever saw them again and those were never updated but the quality was very good. A pity.
