Thanks everybody!  As my goal is to add this element for light use compared to my main gig (APl + SLC) I think I will look first at FSEconomy and if that doesn't pan out will try Neofly next.  I was a super avid fan of FSCaptain and lost touch with their development for MSFS so pretty much gave up on that.  When I look at their website now they don't seem to mention MSFS 2020.

Thanks!

looks like Neofly is the more popular, will give it a try.

It's free so nothing to lose. And their discord channel(s) offers excellent support, hints, etc.

Yes, and that will never change (according to the devs). I learned to check first before committing to a flight, and you would notice it during the flight planning stage at the latest. Even if you happen to make a flight to a non-existing airport, you can still land nearby and afterwards fly to a nearby airport. You can get used to it quickly.

That gets a little tough when you're forced to do a bush landing in a private jet. 😉

Try it, it's fun, though it may affect immersion. I even landed on water once 😆

But as said before, you get used to avoid those flights quickly.

I see there is also The Skypark on Orbx by TFDI but it's $51 and on Orbx it says it's considered 'early access' and yet it's been out for four years.  I guess it was big flop...

Skypark was developed by //42 and has been acquired by TFDI only recently. In its current (still //42) state, it is a pretty flight generator, nothing more. It doesn't even assign payload weight. Functionally, it is comparable to the free random flight generator that A Pilot's life published on Simmarket.

TFDI has probably some good plans for this, I am looking forward to what they will make out of it. Until then, I would not recommend buying it.

I've tried most, and I really like onaire. I know many don't like the subscription model, but I disagree. It produces constant upgrades and keeps the developer sharp and receptive to community feedback. All this shows in onaire, and I've been with it almost since the beginning. 

Great for GA.

I DL'd Neofly and wanted to avoid 'working my way up' as a bush pilot etc as I don't want to do that, I don't think.  Is there some way to get to flying for example the TBM fairly quickly?

I never tried that, but I do remember that some people wrote that you could edit config files in Neofly 3 to obtain type certificates and cash. I haven't read anything like that about NF 4.
