I wanted to suggest that Carenado (and other developers) offer a download of each plane, so that people that don't have the same Carenado planes, can see them in multi-player. This could be just an exterior model, without a cockpit, or any sounds, or realistic flight characteristics. This would also be good advertising for Carenado because everyone could see what other Carenado planes look like in-game. I'm thinking this could also slow piracy down, because I have heard of people illegally downloading payware aircraft....just so they can see them in substitutions.

very good idea +1

It will slow down piracy. Because everyone I know (who use flight simulator here) download airplanes just to test them, some of them buy them later.

 

I know the subject very well but can't explain due to the avsim "rules" which actually has nothing to do with actual law.

 

 

But on the other side, carenado planes as AI traffic (or multiplayer) will certainly bring frames down.

 

I remember when I assigned Project Tupolev 154 and PMDG MD-11 to the AI, and it did bring down the frames to a certain degree.

tupolev280, that is a good point that Carenado substitutions could become laggy, but maybe if the virtual cockpit is not included it wouldn't lag so much, I believe the cockpit is what makes most of the lag.

 

On a side not I hope Carenado starts making their planes more multiplayer friendly.

 

 

P.S. tupolev280, I hope my topic isn't what got you banned
