Dear goodness… We’ve had poor weeks for marketplace releases, but this one is really scraping the bottom of the barrel…

Hey y’all wanted the queues cleared out; it’s not all gonna be top-shelf stuff. :wink:

I disagree… I would take a quality over quantity approach any day over the junk we’ve been getting thus far in 2024- even if it meant each update only included 5 or 10 new products.

My god. 10 F1 liveries for €5 each… Ridiculous.

Maybe there isn’t really a quality aircraft submitted RN :upside_down_face: As far as I know, we aren’t expecting more than a handful.

I’m afraid that their refusal to demonstrate any kind of interest in ensuring products have any quality or genuine purpose beyond cynical moneygrabs is turning the marketplace into a bit of a joke, in my opinion of course. I don’t really think it does them any favours if they harbour anything but a casual interest in keeping the marketplace respectable beyond taking the percentage cut.

“Fixes” here and there, flashlights with multiple colours (because why not), the umpteenth cynical night lighting up/downgrade. All it does is create a tonne of guff in the marketplace which means only the most dedicated/bored/terminally sleep disordered could be bothered navigating through it.

Your mileage may vary.

At least the two Orbx Aussie airports are nice… but complete junk otherwise.

And this is why livery matching is a waste of time. Just make some skins that kinda sorta actually look like an actual airliner and move on.

Think this is the longest I’ve gone without a desire to throw money at add-ons. Heck a sale would be nice

Hmmm… quality over quantity…
Partialy agree with you but ( there’s always a but) it would be gentle to avoid terms like j*nk.
I know that not every aircraft in this sim is perfect but no- one is forcing us to fly it.
To me in person, I tried that dune thing and after giving it a fair chance I deleted it.
It’s simply not my cup of tea.
This is a sim, not an arcade game.
Enough aircraft that are pretty accurate.
Iris PC-21, just flight PA28 and PDMG 737 to name a few payware planes.
But also a few excellent freeware vehicles, like the Got friends grrrravel, and vertigo.
And the planes that came to the base sim like the C-152/C172
I don’t think that IRL many pilots fly dozens of aircraft in their lives, let alone at the same time.
I’m not sure but AFAIK there are only a few pilots that are current at both a boeing and an airbus at the same time.
Probably the so called repo cowboys but they fly those planes without passengers and/or payload.

I was actually relieved that nothing exciting or tempting released this week as the Series X is filling up and I’m focusing on beta testing SU15 instead of looking to new product for a while. The Box filling up is probably a big driver for MS/Asobo’s “thin-client” model for 2424. When the box fills up, I will no longer be a viable customer for add ons!

This caught my attention, nice that they are planning a classic jetliner!

Yeah, and not one involving a dev whose stuff was already discounted, a la this week’s sale! Should be one at Easter…

I’d say the beta itself needs more time. I’d rather it take another two months and actually be fit for release.

I’m finding myself in Sydney quite a bit, definitely going to add Gold Coast to the pile-o-stuff.
