I’ll keep an eye out, but you are probably correct. It’s frustrating not being able to download default aircraft locally right now. The marketplace is only meant to be down because of 3rd party content not default content. It would be really good to have aircraft stored locally for those of us with lower spec’d bandwidth so we can properly assess their behaviour.
I mean can’t keep flying aircraft with many gauges blurred out to the point they can’t be read. See my post here for an example of how they currently look, and that’s airborne!
