If it’s intentional, it’s a cynical way of doing business. Buying Simverse coins doesn’t even get you a discount. (In fact, you can even save a few pennies – literally, only pennies – by buying the coins in smaller quantities.)
Some totally amazing person logged a bug report about this a couple months ago.
Hopefully it gets fixed soon, as it’s annoying. And the funny thing is that if you go and take a flight and come back to the menus, it shows up again.
That’s how HoYo and Epic make billions every year, lots of little tricks like this. And I say that as someone who regularly plays Fortnite.
As I understand it, the EU recently proposed regulations that would govern these sorts of fake currencies, allowing customers to buy the exact amount they need for a particular item. Let’s hope that passes.

I was going to make a wishlist item on this but I found one that may (or may not - I can’t tell) apply in the same way.
We definitely need a fix.

If you select special offers, aircraft and 2024 only, there’s only one that isn’t mscenery. I wonder how many who buy “top ranked” ones from that list, thinking that there aren’t any other planes compatible with 2024?
I thought they said that the marketplace team worked hard on making it better in 2024? It’s still promoting shovel ware over quality in so many instances, despite ratings. the only good aircraft in that list with 4.5/5 is second to last in recommended.

Same thing in the regular airplane section. First section is nearly 100% mscenery for recommended, only one other maker and then an upgrade for me. High-quality like the Hawk T1 from Just flight only first shows up in row eight, far behind all the spammed out shovel ware.
It is disrespectful to the devs that put in a lot of work and love into their products and confusing for any user that isn’t following a ton of reviews and FS media.
