I being saying Over and Over in this part of the forum(trying to see if by miracle some one up there M$ would come to their senses ),MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR SERIES HAS BEEN THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN THE HISTORY OF GAMES FOR COMPUTERS WHEN FREEWARE AIRPLANES MODELS CAME OUT AND SO WEBSITES DEDICATED TO THIS WONDERFUL GAME (at the begining mostly were mostly freewares)
I hate this New "Flight" ,M$ doesn't realize that MSFS previous success  was because this is a triple type of device for a computer

1) to play as a game
2)to Learn and simulates a real airplane flight
3)

To Design things sceneries , Airplanes and more

of course I'll repeat it once again they just think only in the money ,they release FSX with all the problems that still have ,none of the service pack fixed FSX-Sp1&2 ,and one of most outrageous thing sale the service pack 2 using the Aceleration "excuse" and say we will release the sp2 in 4 month who wasn't going to buy it?

service packs by law has to be free ,its to fix their bugs of their games or O/S, YOU already paid for the game,
EXAMPLE you buy a new Car and a day after the brakes doesn't work , companies has to fix it as a guarantee
the Invent the tale that the fire the Ace team because of the USA resesion that's BS was to avoid a sue.

,when FSX was release it Few people could export models using the FSX-SDK ,today almost every one can ,but they also not using it because any model can be Import back and any one can use others model , this was impossible back in FS2004 02 00

I'm not doing from now airplanes all the eyes of MSFS enthusiasts  are in this Flight , that after its release people slowly will return to FSX and FS9
or maybe will move to other alternatives (planex for example)

to me if this is the deal ,this is the end of this beautiful game ...

Actually M$FS/Aces have made quite a few errors when they have not listened to the prime users of their product. Think CFS3/ FS2000.

It's not about anything like default aircraft. It's about the core of the product, how it works, and what can be done with it to customise it for individual tastes - and to be able to do that freely and easily. That can only be done with the input of a huge community - not a few hired staff.

In a huge development program, no-one can expect a bug free release and it's natural that bugs/ errors will emerge when the users start to use it intensively.

However I really hope M$ have learned from the past and listen BIG TIME to it's long time users. They say they have done this with W7. Let's see if 'listening' is a new general M$ practice.

But concretely, what would be the downsides of a central marketplace for Flight addons ? I fail to see them, in fact...
Would that prevent payware devs to propose addons ? No.
Would that prevent freeware devs to propose addons? No.
Would that prevent noobs from posting billions topics about "how to install this or this" ? Yes, definitely.
So what's the problem ?

BIG and to me, obvious problem. We don't want M$ to be controlling available products.

Control will stifle creativity big time for all kinds of reasons.

Do you think if everyone had to go MS Insider for FSX and FS2004 addons there would be anything like the community we have today? Not a fraction.  People want choice in the world.
And you can bet anything free would be in a 'buy 10 and get one free' situation.

None of our freeware designers would be involved I am sure.

You still haven't made comments on my previous remark.
Apple has a central appstore, and it's full of freeware.
Google (Android) has a central appstore, and it's full of freeware too.
So why would an MS appstore forbid freeware products ?

EDIT: don't get me wrong. Of course I would prefer to have multiple sources of addons. But I do not see the existence of an official MS appstore as a problem so far.
