I dread scrolling the Market Place Interface.

I don't want to sound like a Debbie Downer, but I would think I could click on a segment of the MP and see all and just the items I have installed and purchased instead of having to search for them in order to update them. Maybe there is a way and I am probably just too stupid to discover a way. 

That and those large white blocks of tiny text that cover a big chunk of the Airport on the world map when mousing over them are my two main issues with the interface. 

One thing I fail to understand is why you can't access the Marketplace on the MSFS Website (if this method exists, please let me know). That fact that you have to open up MSFS just to look is very inconvenient. In any event, I have only purchased one item from the Marketplace, and it would have to be a deal of all deals for me to buy from there again. I personally would prefer to buy direct from the developer. 

Cheers, Pete

I wonder if visiting the market place still sets all your assistance settings in MSFS to Easy?

Affirmative, I posted about this 2 days ago. Nothing like setting up a plan and taking off to see all the seetings changed thinking you did something wrong.

I think I read somewhere that they will be implementing something where you can browse outside of the sim…But I agree with you, I purchase from developers direct if I can.

Another hassle that has gone on for over a month, that still isn't fixed. I just don't go to content manager or market place, period.

That would be great. Also, they really need to figure out how to provide actual detailed receipts for the items you purchase. The current system is useless, as an email showing that I purchased steam currency tells me nothing.

It is sort of a demonstration for how not to run Ecommerce on a the web.

Even if they implement something, I would only browse on the marketplace and still avoid buying from there personally. I mostly like msfs, but feeling pretty disgruntled about it as of late, maybe I’m just having a grumpy week!

I am still primarily a P3dv5 user, but I have been buying some MSFS stuff because I am trying to be optimistic and support the platform. However, I am definitely a bit concerned about the future of MSFS. The Marketplace would have to change significantly for me to purchase any additional products from there.

I suspect that the MarketPlace has a capacity issue.

Also Jorg mentioned something about  MP2.  Is that something in the works?
