Has anyone tried The "Skypark" for MSFS?

Do like the add-on the only downside, which I guess may change is no consideration for weight of the stuff you are taking.  So theoretically could run every mission with a 152.  Would add to the realism.

That was the first thing I noticed. Transport "goods" from A to B....which could be anything but the one constant is you have no idea what the weight is of what you are transporting. It was only 30 bucks but I don't even use it. I really think they just fumbled this product so bad. Not allowing anyone to purchase their own aircraft? Skypark didnt have to go the full management route like Air Hauler but with missions and a prettier UI and a live marketplace to own/sell aircraft it would have been a nice product to go into the future instead of having to rely on FSEconomy for this.

You can use any aircraft you want. What's the problem with that?

I used AirHauler 2 before (since the beta). Purchasing aircraft also has some downsides - before you have any money you can't fly with the majority of aircraft you purchased for real money and then when you earn enough money you can purchase as many aircraft you want. So it's really interesting only at the beginning and only if you like flying 172s a lot. I would include that among full management app and Skypark isn't that. I guess it depends on what you're looking for. I have a job and not much time to manage a whole virtual company every day on the side and fly for months before I can use that pricey shiny addon I bought. I just want to click click and go fly with a little bit of purpose added. The area where Skypark really shines is it makes you go fly in areas you never flew before. When I was using AH2 and P3D I always flew in the same areas, the same routes, there were parts of the world I almost never visited. Now, when I'm using Skypark I saw so many interesting and different places. Of course, this wouldn't be interesting or possible without MSFS.

Well I said they didnt have to go the full management mode like Air Hauler 2 but if you are going to incorporate an economy aspect of it then I do not see why this wasnt part of the plan. Sure flying any aircraft in your hanger is nice but why not incorporate rental fees or something? The coolest part about FSEconomy to me is the live world of being able to sell or purchase an aircraft from another pilot from around the world.

I mean what else is the money really going to be used for? In a flight simulator addon if you are going to incorporate virtual $$$ as something to be earned I fail to see where to spend it that actually makes sense other than aircraft. In real life we have other commodities to spend money on. What good does a "virtual house" or "virtual car" do me on a computer? Its 2021 and if Orbx somehow comes up with something in a flight sim to spend the earned money on other than relocation cost that is revolutionary Ill be the first to commend them on it.  The missions are great although lack of weight of whatever you are transporting being shown kills some immersion for me. Right now its just not worth 30 dollars and apparently a subscription model is in the future. I'm glad it takes you to places you have never been but that's not worth something subscribing to in my opinion.

I simply like it because it gives me places to fly. Not interested in the other aspects, just a quick way to pick a flight for the day.

I'm holding out for FSCaptain which I used for every single flight in P3D and have a long career going with it.  I know the awesome developers are really liking MSFS just waiting for a few more LVARS to become accessible.
