Please use this thread for feedback and discussion. Thank you!
Guess I didn’t realize there were new products and updates that dropped twice this week (Monday and Thursday, per the dev update) - I remember Jorg alluding to expanding past more than just Thursdays in the last Q&A on Twitch but I don’t remember the specifics. Guess this is what that was, or else I’m missing something, it’s been a long day

Why does the PC-12 by SWS already have seven 5-star-ratings when it’s new on Pc and xbox? Who voted then? How can it be?

Hello @BitOfaB4d4zz,
Third-Party Developers have pre-release access to their own products on the Marketplace for testing purposes. We ask developers not to rate their own products, but some still do anyway.
Thanks,
MSFS Team

Not Meh this time sir, at least not for me.
We got the F86 that is very nice, the allmighty SWS PC12, the exotic Aerocar Mini-Imp and if that was not enough we also got Bruno, the CS C-130!
We don’t talk about Bruno.

Bijan Seasons Update and FS Traffic for Xbox are where exactly?
I do wonder how much RAM all this unwanted marketplace spam is stealing from the sim to force basic features such as runway lights and PAPI at the arrival airport shut off.
People are even putting videos on YouTube about marketplace spam now.

Hello @UKairwaysTTV,
The answer to this question is zero. If you choose not to purchase a product from the Marketplace (or if you uninstall a previously-purchased product via Content Manager), it doesn’t use any of your system’s memory or other resources.
Thanks,
MSFS Team

Many planes and updates, and it seems we have a successor to the night scenery flooding… VA SYSTEMS.

Why would there be any RAM used if you haven’t bought it?
Also FS Traffic is still in testing on XBox. Just Flight said on their forums they are waiting until SU15 is finally released so they can do proper testing with it once it’s stabilized.
Long story short (-> C-130 thread)
Is the C-130 worth it’s money?
Ooh a new logo I see.

There’s a thread comparing it to the Azurpoly C160 which is far superior, i guess it’s up to you in the end, watch YouTube reviews before rushing to purchase it , it may not have the fidelity or functionality you want.

I disagree. Not everyone is going to want a study level item. I think the c130 is good. Updated exterior, function for visuals, virtual cockpit, better sounds. Only improvement would be to make a. AC130 spectre gun ship. But then you have Xbox E ratings to ruin that…
Have you seen the video reviews? An awful transition from cargo area to cockpit, multiple inop systems and switches, by no means is it good enough for the price being asked , and that’s before you look at the extra charge for additional liveries that other products (c160) already include.

High price yes. Wish it was lower. But I’m more about the eye candy than every nob being functional. 95% of the time I fly externally and rudimentary. Just nice to have more models of different planes. Don’t care about systems if the visual model is done well. Ie captain sim and above quality. Not msscenery.
Over time I have come to appreciate that MSFS is so many different things to so many different customers! It is easy to assume that one’s way of flight simming (or gaming even) is not only the right way, it’s the way others see and use MSFS; surprise! It’s not! MSFS’s greatest strength, perhaps, is that it meets so many different gaming/simming needs, albeit each application far less than perfection, but good enough that most folks can find a way to have some fun. A good imagination is our best aid to the immersion we seek, whatever we wish to be immersed in. Kudos to the teams who can keep this three ring circus open and running for all of us to enjoy. Good flying, whatever that is to you!

The dev update is useless when:
- 3 of the 4 months of the roadmap have already passed
- there is no feedback snapshot
