I am a software developer and I worked on aircraft add-ons for fs9 and FSX, some are still sold today. I disagree with Dave, who priced it high in my opinion. You can get a descent aircraft for $40k to 50k, a good "advanced" aircraft would cost around $100k.

You have to understand this kind of aircraft cannot be developed by a single person. You must have at least a software developer (my role), a 3D modeler, a texture painter, a flight dynamics specialist and a sound designer. Some people can have 2 competencies, such as 3D modeler and texture painter, but you will never find a person that has them all. If you do, please let me know :)
