I read you well,… I had similar thoughts with regards to these modifications. We’re all in the same boat really.
My take with MSFS so far is, that the default planes seem to be much, much better then probaly 80% of what is out there in the wild, be it modifications or new planes alltogether. I’m still kind of in the process of getting to grips with this paradigm shift in flight simming myself, but with every default plane I’ve spent some time with so far, I’ve always arrived at the conclusion that it is an extremly well done package, with superb visuals, good sounds, and believable flight model.
So given my experience with the few mods I’ve tried, and with the upcoming AAUs (Aircraft & Avionics Updates) in 2023 in mind, I decided not to waste my time with questionable mods,…until curiousity gets the better of me again
