The marketplace to me has been the biggest source of frustration since the game? / Sim? was released. I tried with the assistance of support here to be able to purchase a couple of Carendo AC for over 3 months trying everything they suggested and still getting the dreaded “purchase failed” and "we can’t help any further?? ". Hello…
I reinstalled the sim with different user rights and Microsoft accounts three times and managed somehow to download the WACO and Mooney which was all I wanted at the time but had to run the sim under admin user as that’s how I purchased and initially installed it.
Possibly I’m fortunate in that Carenado is currently to the best of my knowledge the only? developer with product selling solely through the Marketplace? But there will inevitably come a time that something I want will be a sole marketplace buy.
What I can’t understand is why it is so difficult for Microsoft or whoever to sell product though their store in the same way as they sell the Sim ??? the X-Plane store sells all products scenery and AC, Aerosoft sells their own and other products in their store and both handle updates easy peasy - so what’s so precious about this marketplace which is for me at least and I know many others, BROKEN .
They have a store that is up and functioning that sells individual apps or whatever so what is so hard about selling Sim addons the same way with an individual account like the rest of the Sim World where you have a record of purchase and updates ???
