February 2, 20251 yr Hello fellow pilots, I’m conducting research for my master’s thesis on how different monetization models already established in the broader gaming world, would be perceived and accepted by users if applied to flight simulators. Since the market has traditionally relied on the pay-once model, I’m exploring how users would react if alternative models were introduced. I’m focusing on three potential models: ✈ Subscription Model – Recurring payments for continued access and updates. ✈ Free-to-Play with Microtransactions – Free access with optional paid content. ✈ User-Generated Content (UGC) Model – Paying for community-created add-ons and expansions. For this research, I’m looking for flight sim users willing to share their perspectives in a short interview (approx. 30 min). I know the Flusi community to be extremely helpful, and I’m truly thankful to be a part of it. If you'd like to support me in this research, please send me a direct message or reply to this post. Your insights would be invaluable, and I truly appreciate any support. If this post is misplaced or does not belong in this forum, I sincerely apologize in advance.
