I’m not “trying” to tell you anything. I’m telling you that the problems are very obviously related to the complexity of the update, not to the frequency. They’ve been working on it for a year.
Incidentally, it’s not just a matter of a different platform. In case you missed it, PC users have been demanding better performance by the droves for a long time (and SU5 has been very successful in delivering that, which means that it’s good in the grand scheme of things).
What you personally need and want has nothing to do with what is “Going strong” and I can easily guarantee that FSX is not, and hasn’t been for a long time.
There is a reason why most addons developers have jumped that ship way before MSFS was even announced, let alone released.
“Criticism” that misses the point and overlooks realism is useless. Demanding fewer updates (especially for a simulator in its infancy that certainly benefits from further evolution) and thinking one knows better than the developers on how often it should be updated without the slightest idea of what resources are available to be allocated to updates and ignoring the fact that Microsoft has made clear promises to users in terms of free content (which they obviously can’t just go back on) isn’t “criticism.” It’s a fairy tale.
