I discovered one important advantage with buying from MP

Featured Replies

And that is being less expensive. For example I have just purchased FS Acadamy navigation from the MP it it costed me 230 SEK. First I tried buying it from Just Flight but then it would cost 270 SEK being more expensive even if I take into account the JF points I get. I have also seen that the Milviz C310 cost 400 SEK on the MP. I bought it directly from Milviz and it cost me 460 SEK. Why is it like this ?

As far as JustFlight goes: "We are a UK website and the price is based on an equivalent to the UK price (including VAT) plus card processing. The exchange rate between the £ and <insert your currency here> is different to € to <insert your currency here>."

The MSFS store has differential pricing so people across the world see prices based on their country. Some places are cheaper, some more expensive.

 

Steam is similar (not MSFS version of steam, I mean buying other games from Steam). If you have an address in a lower-income country, you'll see prices are significantly lower than US prices. 

The disadvantage is that they take so long to update anything.

X-Plane 12 and MSFS2020  🙂

System specs: Windows 11  Pro 64-bit, Ubuntu Linux 20.04 i7-13700KF  Gigabyte Z790 RTX-4060-Ti , 32GB RAM  1X 2TB M2 for X-Plane 12,  1x256GB SSD for OS. 1TB drive MSFS2020

I've purchased all my MSFS addons from the MP, but two (Fenix and FSUIPC7). But I'm in a low-income country. I guess people in other countries may have the same prices in and out of the MP. My P3D era was rather expensive, when compared with MSFS...

Mobile rig: ASUS Zenbook UM425QA (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H APU @3.2 GHz and boost disabled, 1 TB M.2 SSD, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11 Pro). Running FS9 there .

VKB Gladiator NXT Premium Left + GNX THQ as primary controllers. Xbox Series X|S wireless controller as standby/mobile.

I try to buy from the MP first as it is more convenient and I'm guessing some money gets back to the sim. Not like FSX where I have 50 add-ons through 25 different sites. I have purchased a couple things away from the MP though, like the DC F-14.. you know why 😏
