 A bit too sensitive on the pitch axis

In all fairness, I feel many if not most addons are. 

I didn't realise that Horizon and Kuro were the same developer until i read that flightsim.to blurb

No idea.  But the blurb on flightsim.to says:

Horizon Simulations - creators of the popular Freeware Kuro 787-8 mod - is pleased to announce the imminent release of their Boeing 787-9 enhancement for Microsoft Flight Simulator. 

 

Not sure why the excitment. Those with the premium MSFS package already have a quite decent 787. Those on standard MSFS (who don't have a 787 and want one) can't use this one. ;)

WOW, how did I miss it being a freeware, I'm sorry and I'll hurry out of here 🙂 

LOL...no worries.  Its hard to keep up with all the stuff that is coming, and this is one that I'll donate to them just to support their efforts for our community.  Its "payware" quality if you count all the things we've paid for in the past that were not even close to the features this freeware offers. 😉 

Oh, and I love your tag line...and it seriously applies to me (as I suspect it does many here).

I fact, I used to drive by the Atlanta Hartsfield airport frequently with my family, I would be driving and looking up at the traffic in the air...when we finally decided that my wife would drive that portion of the trip, for safety's sake. 🙂

I was wondering, if it’s a commercial company but only producing freeware , where does their income come from ? Is it just donations?

 I have several jobs but I have done some charity flights in the past. I also did tons of discover flights absolutely free. I'm pretty sure am not alone in this endeavor! We get paid somewhere else but we do thing for love of aviation. How they say : "love aviation within yourself, not yourself in aviation" LOL
