Will smaller / individual scenery / aircraft designers be able to sell their designs through the marketplace?

I’m just wondering if its possible for an individual ( rather than a dedicated sim design company) to be able to sell their creations on the Marketplace ? There are so many creative simmers who spend hours tweaking airport. It would be nice if we can do that, even if it is for a smaller price, compared to the dedicated/ professional run , bigger design companies ?

I hope it will at some point, there are games like war thunder that allow players to be part of their marketplace and earn real money by creating skins for tanks planes ships and chopper. Microsoft could have a similar model for our beloved sim

I hope not!
As long as Asobo/MS take that long to update marketplace addons I will only buy directly from the addon creators and NOT via the market place. The Carenado planes are the best example. The Mooney is almost useless at the moment. The updates are ready but not available because they have to be implemented into the marketplace first. The IndiaFoxTecho MB 399 already had two updates within a few days of the the bug being reported.

War Thunder do not share $ for skins or maps. Only for planes, tanks, ship 3D models.

Yes. You can join the MS partner program. It is a lot of hurdles though.
I am currently trying to get some answers on how to actually get it submitted as the SDK doesnt seem to work with exporting to the marketplace.

i did email and filledo ut the application to apply for the program but never got a reply.

Are you a microsoft partner/affiliate?

Devs can quickly publish at their own websites. Also most of the shops we sell our add-ons at simply link to the download at our website, so users always get the latest version.

I’m not sure how the MS FS2020 store works, but it sounds like devs need to submit an updated copy, get it either reviewed and/or uploaded for customers to access.

Pros/Cons to both approaches.

No im not; applied but never heard back

i applied months ago but it just says ’ application pending’.

Do you already own a company? I think that’s a must.
