Incl...Photorealistic Models!

Wow - photorealistic models!   I normally have to pay a monthly subscription for this, and hide it from my wife.

I did look through the pages but I may have missed it - Did anyone post the quote HeliSimmer got from LM about this?

“Robust” 3rd party ecosystem that will continue into the future? Lol, that’s some serious spin there by LM. There is nothing “Robust” about the 3rd party market anymore.

I think you are thinking about the wrong 3rd party market.  Yes, the consumer market has moved to MSFS, but there are many, many 3rd party integrators that work with LM on the commercial side of things, which is where they make their $$$$.  The consumer side isn't more than probably a large test bed for them to make the program more bug-free for their big-paying commercial / government clients.
