What about the integration of personal works/freeware

Don't make me wrong I've nothing against an official workshop, I just don't want it to be a monopoly.

It won't be, not at least on the PC version (as console versions of any game are closed to modification). You currently can find free mods/dlcs for any Microsoft games outside their official distribution methods.

I don't see why it would be diffrently on the MSFS2020.

Good, I welcome that ! But we are still at a time when it is useful to send some messages to the team. There is a culture around the FS franchise that deserves to be kept alive.

Microsoft could just give us the tools, the bricks, to create objects like a Lego game. I don't play Minecraft but I think the idea is the same. That would ensure freewares won't bring any instability or CTDs.

Tools why not ? It they bring us an in-game Instant Scenery-like tool to manipulate autogen and objects, I am all for it. 

But I see an aspiration of some fellow simmers for an aseptic world that I don't share. First addons, free or payware, don't automatically bring instability . No more than the sim itself 😏. Some could be better optimized, some don't work as we'd want but instability ? Then if one is afraid to spoil one's install, just don't use them.

This hobby has grown through the imagination of hundreds of people without any control from a central management. A bit anarchistic of course but a world where a MS quality control manager will have the last world on  everything will be sterile i.e. dead. 

I am for a dual approach. A shop for those that are scared by the prospect of adding  3rd party addons without  the blessing of MS and the freedom for the brave.

The FS world should stay an open sandbox.

Sandbox that's the word. I am a big fan of Arma and the Editor they have is just perfect, all the objects (thousands) are compatible with each other. Even better, instead of offering let's say 10 different models for a warehouse, they could propose 100 models for a type of wall, that will let us create hundreds of different warehouses, unique objects to truly match the ones in the real world. We are the manpower, let us work 😉

As opposed as I am to MS controlling everything, a central repository of objects besides the default models is an interesting idea !
