March 19Mar 19 I'll wait for the L-1011-1 if they make it. Which is the longer version of the Aircraft.
March 19Mar 19 I bought the 343 on the MP and absolutely hated the experience - Buggy thing wouldn't update unless you select another A/C from the list. Once it made it to the Ini Manager, no issues at all. Not gonna do it again, when it releases on the manager we'll see if i still want it or if the hype vanishes.

March 20Mar 20 Looking forward to buying it in the MP. I bought their A340 in the MP and had no issues at all. All my updates have come through without any problems. Can't wait. Jase
March 20Mar 20 The long MP update delays seem to be a thing of the past... Aircraft updates from the March 9th newsletter (the last one to give these stats):

Same here...I am hesitant on picking this up because they have not announced the 1 yet. If they create the 1 it makes it very easy to complete the rest of the series (50, 100 and 250). If they do in fact announce they will make the 1 I will gladly invest in the 500. I thought I heard they just might do the other variants if it sells really well. So hopefully its a big seller.

March 20Mar 20 I wouldn't care about Marketplace, if not for the fact I'm levied VAT for Steam purchases. Not so for the iniBuilds Store...blame the government here in this case. I'll wait and see.

March 20Mar 20 Folks: It will be 5+ years and running, for myself exclusively on the (MSFS) Marketplace. Of course, like most of us here, I have (previously) experienced a couple of decades of the central purchase portals of (one time) FlightSim Store, Orbx Central, Just Flight, Aerosoft, Flight1 etc., plus the many (direct) Developer sites such as PMDG etc. There are pros and cons to each mode of operation. The MSFS Marketplace is getting better, thanks to iniBuilds and PMDG leading the way, and beckoning other premier developers who have not yet tapped into this market, for one or more reasons of their own. The Marketplace, the MSFS, the 3rd-party Developers, and us simmers are symbiotically connected together for the survival (and growth) of all. And, as someone said above, “The choice is the spice of life.”…🙂… I’m looking forward to this L-1011. Once upon a time, I was regularly flying both the versions from CS and JF, decent renditions that they were… Cheers…! Edited March 20Mar 20 by P_7878

If they do it without Hushkit, I will get it.
