Please use this thread for feedback and discussion. Thank you!
Wouldnāt mind a 717 or a BAe HS748 plane as a future Famous Flyer instead of all the MScenery trash.

We need to have an open discussion about Mscenery whom are dominating the marketplace content
If anyone is curious about their products we have some brave content creators already doing the deep dive

As you are aware there has already been an open discussion in this thread, and if you search for Mscenery there are plenty of other threads that pop up.
I donāt like they have flooded the MP either. If we could at least filter them out as well as the other devs one isnāt interested in that would help.
We now know when the next Dev Stream is planned so perhaps that would be the best place to bring it up.

That thread got closed, thought it was better to discuss in the weekly Dev update threads, the new release planes have been reviewed on YouTube. Easier for any new simmers wondering if those new planes are worth buying, itās all right here

Yeah Seedy closed it with an explanation which I understand. So I donāt think starting another discussion here would do any good. I think the option to filter out Devs in the marketplace would be a good topic to bring up in the Dev Stream.

Itās horrifying to see that after releasing numerous low quality military planes and helicopters mscenery are now covering civil aviation.

Yep and they are releasing approx 5 planes a week, itās a huge effort, and soon will move onto GA
In 1 week they have released more planes than PMDG has since 2020

Seeing then now being called āPROFESSIONALā makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time 
Think the only thing I can do is go out and buy 34 livery packages for one plane.
Seriously, the marketplace is a pillar of keeping the sim going and covering the running costs. How is this supposed to work out?!
In my opinion the star rating should not kick in until it has had āxā many purchases ā¦people can still vote but the stars wont start showing until the āxā value is reached!
That would stop the one person voting and it immediately has 5 stars!
(āxā can be any value but I would suggest 50 as a good starting point!)

Sadly because they are relatively cheap, and some people wonāt care about quality. Some may deplore them for flooding the market with low effort product, but for every ten of us who wouldnāt touch them with a barge pole, there may be a hundred or more out there that will.
Those of us who hang out on the official forums are but a tiny percentage of the total user base, and itās probably a fair assessment that those who donāt use, or even know of the official forums existence, may be the very target audience they are leaning into.

A lot of people are happy if the plane they buy looks like a B747 and does nothing else ā¦ itās just the way it is. Theyāre the ones flying under the golden gate bridge upside down and thereās nothing wrong with that, theyāre having fun with the sim/game they bought.
For a hobbyist though, itās sacrilege - but you canāt gatekeep what other people can / cannot do with the simulator and there is absolutely a market for this type of product. Probably a larger market than we would like to believe
I agree with the suggestion above regarding the star ratings, it makes a lot of sense.

These would be a lot more palatable if they were finally renamed to āMarketing Updateā or similar
