The trend continues. Another lackluster slew of marketplace releases

Hello @twenty4fan9O,

Thank you for your feedback about this week’s Marketplace releases. What specific product(s) are you waiting to see on the Marketplace?

Thanks,
MSFS Team

I’m guessing there isn’t much interesting stuff in the backlog anyway. The new sim is coming in a month, and I would understand if many developers were waiting for the new sim to publish their products.

I would love to see some business jets, but I’m with Aleo5069 - I’m sure they’re waiting for the new sim - or at least I hope that’s why we haven’t seen any in so long.

Which ones?

Or a more direct question, which business jets have released and are pending a marketplace debut that you feel may be stuck in the queue somewhere?

Hello @SeedyL3205

No more Routes, WaterFixes, or other random filler items. And no more duplicates of items; ie another Green Bay Wisconsin airport rendition. Too many places and planes don’t exist yet on MP but repeats of items is a trend.

To your question:
Looking for crj, UH60, military items, more airliners, more USA scenery of cities and airports of mid to large size.

I would like to see an AT3 or Tecnam P-Mentor

Hello @twenty4fan9O,

Which specific products by which specific developers are you waiting on? It’s not as simple as saying, “I’m disappointed in this week’s Marketplace releases because there wasn’t a UH-60 Black Hawk” if no third-party developer has actually created a UH-60 and has submitted it into the Marketplace release pipeline. As you know, we’re not able to conjure up add-on products at will, nor do we control what products different developers choose to create; that decision is entirely theirs to make. What is added to the Marketplace each week is determined solely by which specific products are signed off for release by their respective developers.

Thanks,
MSFS Team

Anything that isn’t VAS if I 'm honest. Sick of the spam.

I’m waiting for you to revise the prices on marketplace before i buy anything. UK got 15%? more expensive last week despite the exchange rate being the same as at launch and actually on an upward trend.

And I guess a lot of people don’t appreciate the “spam” complaints each week that certain developers publish their content on the Marketplace. A few people don’t like that content, we get it. Others might enjoy that content. It’s for everyone.
Those products are not blocking anything.

If you want a specific developer to publish their products on the Marketplace go ahead and contact them.

and a lot of people don’t like the spam each week.

So what should they do about it then? Everyone complains about the “spam” mods, but they have nothing to do with blocking other items that are available for release. They can’t play favorites and not post them because then it’s not a fair playing field and people will think twice about posting their add-ons on the Marketplace.

Only reasonable option I heard is adding a feature to filter out certain developers that you know you don’t want to view. But saying that we want other add-ons when those add-ons either don’t exist or aren’t submitted to the Marketplace isn’t helping.

Hey, when we will find out which partners will join next streams?
I hope it’s not going to be a surprise for all of them.
Thanks!

That would be a godsend.

I’m hoping for a fully revamped Marketplace AND a fully revamped hanger to make them both not totally suck. (Please don’t tell me if details of either of these have already been shown. I’d like to hold on to my dreams until getting them dashed on the 19th.)

You’ve answered your own question. Yes, a filter would be the best thing. I am sure I heard Jorg say we’ll get just that in FS24.

Anyone getting crashing to desktop after flying around for a bit?

One pilot’s spam may be another pilot’s sustenance; and not all pilots who enjoy MSFS (or shop the MP) are flying the forums here with us. That community may be much larger than this one. We wouldn’t want them deciding what is offered to us, so who are we to decide what is offered to them? Hopefully 2024 provides a better shopping opportunity for those who feel spamed?
