The series of Swedish airports by Marcus Nyberg are of extremely high quality, and the same can be said of the Norwegian airports by Finn Hansen (and others), and LYTV Tivat from Rasha Tucakov.

Exactly, but in order to make a personal opinion look like a fact, it is necessary to overlook anything that does not support it.

And to talk as though your opinion is "objective", "impartial", "scientific"

I think 2020 may very well be regarded a transition simulator, a transition to a new wave of companies to support our hobby. 

This was evidently clear the day flightsim.to emerged (and a few others like it that faded eventually) shortly after MS2020 was released. It was like WHOA where did this sudden flood of free content come from? Where were all these developers hiding at all this time? Much of the free stuff was similar content and quality previously, and sadly proudly hidden behind paywalls of P3D and FSX which developers up and down seemed to enjoy tacking on a price tag for literally anything.

I just bought KMRY by Beautiful Model of the World which was once by ORBX.  Fine by me and on sale -18%.

From people stuck at home under lockdowns and on furloughs...

Fenix, Pyreegue, FBW, WorkingTitle, FSLTL and PuffinFlight have all* been fantastic new entrants to the flight sim environment, pushing the boundaries of what makes an excellent product in a flight sim designed for the 2020s.

A2A, JustFlight, AIG, iniBuilds (for their fast release cycles for very good, rather than excellent, quality products) and FSReborn are the only devs* with direct previous flight sim experience that have maintained or enhanced their reputations with their MSFS product collections.

(*I may have missed a few developers from these lists).

I'd argue there's more of that going on now. Whereas before it was a handful of devs like Taburet, Prealsoft and FSXcenery, we now also have 4Simmers, Dreamscenery, RKBridger, SoFly, South Oak Co, Spinoza... It's appears to be profitable to churn out lots of low effort products for MSFS.

Howard- I'm afraid you're spot on mate. 

Ah well.... has anyone been able to contact Fly2High directly? Their airports do not even show up in the Initial Flight Screen unless you search for them- no star like other aftermarket.... yuck.

In fairness, RSW is better….  At JAX buildings are just hideous, and taxi lines/lighting have major issues…
