They created several of the stock planes that come with it and had the first plane for sale in the market place at launch. This has given them an inside track on plane creation as far as MSFS is concerned. Their planes are also exclusive to the market place and they also make planes for Microsoft to sell in the market place. This also means Carenado’s planes can’t be pirated. All these are also available on Xbox. I suspect they’re also enjoying a deal with Microsoft for this exclusivity; Microsoft’s cut of market place sales is around thirty per cent. I rather think Microsoft’s cut of Carenado sales is slightly less than this. When it comes to 3rd party sales in MSFS, we’ve heard a lot about “some glasses were raised” or PMDG’s sales of the DC6 outstripping everything that went before. We don’t hear anything from Carenado. Their planes are visually stunning, keenly priced and generally frame rate friendly. They’ve also raised their game when it comes to bug fixes. I think Carenado are the really big winners in MSFS so far. In such circumstances making planes for XP would be the last thing on their minds whilst they’ve still got a large back catalogue of planes to recreate in MSFS. Carenado is coming out with the Cessna182RG. Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space. Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).
