I wish they would. I bought their excellent Phenom 300 and Victory G1000 edition for Xp11 a while ago and thoroughly enjoyed them both (especially the Phenom).
Surely there is a large market over here too? if anyone from there reads this, please do consider it! 
Aerobask delivers planes. If you want to play with MSFS buy Carenado 
Unfortunately they’ve said they don’t have any interest in developing for MSFS so their planes are likely to remain XP only.
Thanks, that is a shame! guess I’ll have to play both “flight simulators” then!
I think once MSFS is in better shape they will come across. LM Sadly and understandably has not really improved the ground textures or at least it does not appear that way. Personally IMHO X-Plane still offers me more in terms of flight of Simulation, but MSFS is fast catching it up, and a lot of people rightly or wrongly seem to be saying no MSFS Like graphics no buy, so there is a fair bit to unpack from all that, however LM simply does not have the tech/money/or backing from MS to do what Asobo has done.
I suspect XP12 will be a success but I also think its market share will shrink at least initially and potentially grow again. I for now have deleted XP11 and will revaluate with XP12.
The companies that hold out will likely cave in at some point in the future when it becomes obvious what a lucrative new market this is. The SDK will improve over time, so hopefully whatever issues are holding them back from doing so will be removed.
Personally I don’t think XP is going anywhere - I think there’s room in the Civillian sim market for both MSFS and XP if each offers something different.
(I think P3D and FS2 are a diiferent matter, though)
Issues being that MSFS is a pain to develop for devs say. Yes finance is a big driver but to make great aircraft with all the correct detail you’ve got to enjoy the experience to some extent. If not you end up with half baked releases trying to make a quick buck.
That sounds like a bad developer, not a bad SDK. If you have been following the development of the FSG PC-6, its clear that they have managed to make good use of the SDK.
There are good and bad in all walks of life but you are more likely to get a good result if it’s not a pain. You seem confident Aerobask will come even though they have said they have no interest. Something you know that they don’t? I suspect XP12 will have some affect on any decision. Right now it’s just gossip at best.
PMDG. Not much more needs to be said. The had originally shown great resistance to develop for MSFS because of the state of the SDK at the time. I believe there was also an expectation or desire for MS/Asobo to roll over, and allow PMDG to allow their code as is to work in this sim. That didn’t happen, and eventually PMDG worked with the SDK to bring us the DC-6, rather than porting their old code over as is.
I’m confident that money talks.
PMDG however won’t be developing for XP12. But again, money talks, and if XP12 turns out to be a massive success, and claws back some of the market share they lost, then who knows?
AFAIK Aerobask has never developed for a MS sim so that’s a big difference to PMDG who have past history. Hotstart and Torquesim are 2 more that are xp only. There will be others. Likewise there are MS platform devs only. You get the point. They seem to be comfortable where they are. At least for now. I’m not sure XP11 has really lost any but rather MSFS has gained loads. So in terms of user base now yes a big swing but lost revenue probably not much considering most of us already owned XP. The crunch will come with XP12, will they get the same number of copies sold now that MSFS is established. Interesting indeed. One thing is for sure. For us competition is healthy.
My Post was not to dismiss X-Plane at all.. Sorry but work got in the way and prevented me from finishing it. I dont think X-Plane will go anywhere soon. I still think it will be a long time until MSFS has the Flight model fidelity of X-Plane (I am saying flight model not systems).
As I have said in the past, I am pumped for the Fenix Sim A320 / PMDG 737 and any modern long hauler that is Fenix/PMDG level…But I question how well they will fly Flight Model wise, I think this is one area X-Plane will win on for a long time, but who knows.
From what I have seen the graphics of MSFS are a bigger hook than anything X-Plane has to offer for a lot of people. If this cant be remedied and LM has said he is not chasing that anyway, then I can only foresee X-Planes market share shrinking, or staying the same but what do I know?
For me the graphics are not as important as the systems, FDE etc…however my decision to remove XP11 bares down to, not wanting to feed 2 sims, it is costing me too much, as things like the FBW A320 has improved with the LNAV and VNAV soon, then mixed in with those Graphics I would be silly not too. That being said, if I see XP12 knock it out of the park and actually change the horrendous Ground textures then I will go back, or if the up and coming study level stuff in MSFS is a let down.
However back on topic. if sales dry up on X-Plane then I would hope to see Aerobask et al come to MSFS because they make phenomenal add-ons.
Lets hope they do, but one thing for sure though is the longer some of these developers wait, the larger the reduction in potential revenue they could see.
I realise that initial development at this stage in MSFS2020’s journey incurs probably more overhead than when it has matured (SDK / constant updates breaking some things - I have moaned about this plenty of times myself) - but if it were me, I’d be jumping on it right now and taking advantage of the narrow aircraft coverage at this point.
Its clear that this sim is going places and will likely be the dominant force in the not too distant future.
Who would want to be the third or fourth Spitfire developer, for example?
Yep exactly! I think now is time to invest personally, but what do I know, I am just a sim pilot! 
Who is LM?
Don’t be disingenuous to score points. It adds nothing to the conversation and some may perceive it as somewhat churlish.
