Give your opinions on payware publishers.
I appreciate I have just mentioned the "shell" companies but feel free to be more specific if you wish.

Kinda hard to say. I think PMDG's publishers are Aerosoft for the boxed products, so I'd have to go with them. However I have quite a few Flight1 products and I am just as impressed with them. Just Flight is good because their English ( Makes it easier to buy), and Abacus are good because you get what you paid for and the packages aren't specific.

Toss up between JF for the variety the've brought (PSS/CS/AH/UK2000/VFR Photoscenery), and Flight1 for their wrapper system which make buying certain products very simple indeed...

I have one product from JustFlight, two from AeroplaneHeaven, and five from Abacus. All were chosen because of what they were or what they did, not because of who published them.

The 'try before you buy' nature of Abacus is a big bonus is my book, I could see what I was getting before deciding to part with my cash. But I can't say I've had any negative experiences with the other publishers either.

I would say Aeroworx, even though they are part of flight 1 and only have one plane lol.

Then I would say flight1. Some of their aircraft are just amazing. Not just aircraft, but enhancements for your FS.

Keeping it all separate, I would say PMDG would make third on my list. Fantastic aircraft.

Cheers,
RB

PMDG and Captain Sim for attention to detail, and realism in the cockpits.

My vote goes to Flight1. I have most of the Dreamfleet GA planes and I buy them through Flight1. For other publisher/manufacturer I choose Carenado. Fantastic stuff they make.

It woud seem PMDG are the leaders by a long way.
I personally like Aerosoft - they seem to do more of the general/military stuff I prefer to tool around in Grin
