Need some help because I’m totally lost…
Please explain to me again why there is a flood of ■■■■■■ MScenery planes in the marketplace and good quality planes take for ever to enter the party.
@microsoft/Asobo: pls get your marketplace to a higher standard and remove the ■■■■!
Hello @FibroNiels,
Products are launched on the Marketplace only after the developer signs off that they have completed testing and their product(s) are ready to be released.
After the Microsoft Marketplace team has completed the initial product ingestion process, it is then the responsibility of each developer to test their own products. Naturally, complex add-ons which include more sophisticated simulation and systems modelling will take longer for the developer to test than products which aren’t as complex.
Thanks,
MSFS Team
Mmm… only have questionmarks now about the quality check? As a "Developer " delivers poor quality each time and takes over the marketplace, it takes away… …how to say it nice… the motivation to even open the marketplace. In my opinion it takes down the name of msfs.
Thx for your reply though
Hello @FibroNiels,
Some people like fancy Michelin star restaurants that cost hundreds of dollars per person. Other people are happy with a $5 hamburger from the local fast food joint. Neither are “wrong” for having their own personal preferences.
Everyone has different tastes, and the Marketplace offers products from a wide assortment of third-party developers who create products appealing to all simmers. Some of you are only interested in highly-detailed complex add-ons that simulate their respective aircraft to the highest possible degree of realism while others enjoy more simple aircraft with less complex systems modelling. Everyone is free to like what they like.
Thanks,
MSFS Team
The problem is, sometimes we pay almost the Michelin star price but get under freeware quality. That leaves a terrible taste in the mouth.
Hello @Wundermann,
If you don’t feel like a particular product is worth the price the developer is asking, I suggest sharing that feedback with the developer themselves. Microsoft does not set the pricing of products on the Marketplace; that decision is made solely by each developer.
Thanks,
MSFS Team
It would be great if we could have a filter that sticks to exclude certain developers from showing up in our in game marketplace.
By the same logic you countered with, you don’t go into a five star restaurant expecting to see a McDonald’s menu.
Another issue though is that the big mac is sometimes priced the same as the filet mignon…
Yeah, to me this is a great copout. MS/Asobo can just say - not I, not I. The problem being it tarnishes the value and reputation of MSFS 2024 if all we can expect is half complete products that do not work well in the sim. I think there is a mismatch here about the expectations of the customers and Asobo/MS. We expect, because we pay for it, a product that works in a sim that is advertised as the answer to 2020’s prayers. Why is the marketplace site allowing products that are flooding the pages with junk especially when there is no lease ability built in yet?
To use your analogy, when you go to a burger joint you expect to get a burger - when you go to a 5 star restaurant you expect to get quality but at least you know what you are getting before you buy it.
I don’t think it is right to defend the indefensible especially when your customers are paying. It just says to us that MS/Asobo do not care what we think. I would like to think they do care about the shop window in their product - but it needs to be demonstrated.
Still no Aerosoft CRJ v2 update in fs2024 marketplace while CRJ v2 is not in yet and Aerosoft twin otter says not compatible for me in fs2024 yet 
On Xbox, Compared to MSFS2020 it seems slow, stuttery, and having a hard time to display. It’s not very friendly and you never know anything that is new for the area that you are interested in unless you make a specific search.
It does NOT feel like an upgrade from Msfs 2020…rather the opposite.
I must second this. The front page is really sluggish and stuttery to load. Even just scrolling lists, the thumbnails takes a second to load in, which I can understand initially. But if you then decide to scroll back up, the thumbnails have to load in again. Surely, they are now cached and should not have to load in again?
If you want to exit the marketplace, there is no way to do so, except from the front page, so you have to endure the sluggishness again. Unfortunately, you can’t access “My Library” without going through the Marketplace, and did I mention that it’s sluggish?
The performance is really poor. I’m also on Xbox.
That’s good in theory, but what if the $5 quality hamburger is actually $35? What we want are products that work, regardless of the depth of the simulation.
I think that allowing the developers to effectively mark their own homework is a recipe for disaster. It may speed up the process of getting products on to the MP, but it also speeds up the process of getting junk installed into our sims.
In other words, it could end up being a curated store front with all of the drawbacks, but none of the benefits. Other than the almighty dollar, of course!
Unless you have read, or viewed, a review of a product, you don’t know until you have bought it. So instead of contacting the developer, I would contact Microsoft as the store owner, and request a refund.
In reality, unless the product was only available on the MP I wouldn’t buy from there anyway, as there are precious few benefits for me to do so, but a long list of drawbacks.
That’s the beauty of you tube and posts on here, I check both for reviews before i buy anything now.
You tube is especially good for that as there appear to be so many on line reviews these days that I feel I get a pretty good idea of what I am getting!
…that said , some reviewers do leave me raising my eyebrows as they think they have found a bug …but in fact is something not set up correctly!
Individual skill, or knowledge, can’t easily be applied…unless you have been watching them for some time, then you know what to expect! 
And I have bought over $1k in add Ons from msfs 2020 for Xbox.
So yeah I know what I’m talking about.
My Personal Comment & Observation
Back in the days when one purchased software from a physical store, no-one expected the store to test every product that they sold.
I see no difference between an on-line store & a physical store in this respect.
However, if the product did not work, one (usually) could return the software to the store & get a full refund, provided one did so within a defined period from date of purchase.
Processing returns took time & could be costly, so if the store had a large number of returns for a particular product or vendor, they would stop selling the product or cease doing business with that vendor, as there was insufficient profit being made in selling their products.
This could be considered a commercial version of Darwinism’s survival of the fittest: Over time, only the best software survived to be displayed on the store shelves.
The marketplace really needs to implement a similar system & policy, but I fear this decision may not be up to the MSFS team, as they may need to conform to the standard sales policies & procedures of the Xbox division & so have little-to-no say in the matter.
I just want to be able to fly my CRJ in the 2024 environment, man.
I stupidly ended up with 40 Simverse coins. ($10)
I want to buy a plane that’s 48 simverse coins. ($11.99)
I have to buy another $10 in Simverse coins to use the credit I have. Sigh.
If Simverse coins aren’t actually an attempt to milk extra revenue by taking money that’s not being used, then please either:
The current setup is customer-hostile. I’ve worked in online game retailing before, so I understand there are probably technical challenges with 1 or 2. But 3 is easily doable and the only reason not to allow it is someone trying to “float” Simverse coin balances to show more revenue.
TL;DR: Until this is fixed, just do direct purchases from Marketplace, don’t get saddled with Simverse coins.
Or scrap the coins/credits scheme altogether. I mean, when I buy groceries, the cashier doesn’t make me buy ambiguously valued “GroceryCoin” that’s only useable at that store
In my case, the Simverse coins is one of the best improvements made to the to the 2024 Marketplace.
Prior to the coins, each addon had to be purchased separately. Back when addons usually worked when you bought them, my credit card would get locked/flagged from the fraud department after about 25 “small” transactions. It was a hassle.
Now, I’m able to make only 1 or 2 transactions per month and be able to simply select the addons I want to “purchase”, without having a separate transaction show up on my credit card. From a sales and marketing standpoint, it made it easy to make purchases without one realizing how much they are spending - or consciously reflecting on their current budget limit - the money has already been spent and we’re not earning any interest on Simverse Coins.
However, since many addons don’t work when you purchase them now days, the Simverse coins preference has become a non issue for me. “We” can no longer “expect” products to work or install properly when you purchase them from the Marketplace, so I just don’t “purchase” or upgrade addons like I used to.
