Quality difference between default vs payware planes

Non Modded defaults were pretty looking bricks for the most part in my opinion. The C152 is still untrimmable for example. the slightest adjustment to trim sends it into conniption. Anything that talented community members touched in terms of modding flight dynamics is light years ahead of anything default. As far as payware simple GA planes go I have extensive experience with them in XP/P3D and their MSFS ports are not on the same level. Shortcuts were taken here and there flight dynamics are different They are good enough in a vacuum but once you start drawing paralells to the their original homes they are not as good. I’d much rather fly DA mod in MSFS and Just flight in XP at this point. And as far as CJ goes it’s not really a mod anymore it’s completely rebuilt plane the only thing that is left from original is a graphics shell. WT really did it justice. I have 50 bucks payware CJ in XP and that payware is not bad or buggy but WT beats it hands down.in terms of systems depth and flight characteristics simply a superb job on WT part. Now that they are on MSASobo payroll I’m concerned that they will abandon future development on their mods.
