    How Aerosoft releases go:

    1. Hyped up release, promoted in the Aerosoft forums. Lots of pre-release posts from M.Kok. 

    2. Release and disappointment 

    3. The blame game begins. 

    4. Abuse is heaped on Hans Hartmann

    5. Gaslighting begins - remember "Wingflexgate"?

    6. People swear they'll never buy another Aerosoft product again. 

    7. The caravan moves on.

    Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Your "study level" probably isnt the same standard as others. The planes you cited are amazing achieviement, its borderline wizardry what these teams are doing, but it is still far from a true study level (without a proper failure systems and logics, its never gonna be study level anyways). The high price hardcore market is not shrinking. People that wanted that in other sims still want it on this one, but its true that it is a market that will not grow. Compared to the huge user base, it is still gonna remain a niche. (i think, i dont actually fly those) 

    What makes you think that failure modeling isn't on the road map of these or other developers?

    The market for high priced addons is shrinking faster than a pair of tighty whities in the hot dryer cycle. 

    CJ4 is now close to study level: free

    A320 approaching payware status: free.

    Let me see here: I can get close to study level free, or I can pay $150 for a few more buttons, with a generous helping of developer arrogance. Mmmmm. Tough choice!

     In case you were unaware of this, the US Government does indeed make and publish its own first person shooter combat game for PC and XBox, You can download it from here.

    And - as someone else noted - with regard to Aerosoft customers buying things such as OMSI and Euro and American Truck Simulator; what's wrong with that anyway?

     

     

    I've played America's Army for many years. Never thought it was a particularly good shooter, but it was a free download.

    I enjoy OMSI and Eurotruck Simulator, but nobody is going to confuse those games for the real Thing. In a similar vein, looking for accuracy down to the tiniest Details in Aerosoft's addons is a fool's errand.

    As a pilot myself (GA) it annoys me when "gamers" review stuff. It is tough to find someone who actually knows what they are looking at when reviewing an addon. I need more than "look how good it looks".

    It's a game, therefore it should be reviewed by gamers. I don't see the Pentagon reviewing the Call of Duty series.

    For full enjoyment of the Longitude you'll want to install the following mods:

    1. 200 miles or less: DA 62

    2. 400 to 600 miles: TBM 930

    3. 400 to 1000 nm: Citation CJ 4

    4. Long range: Citation Longitude

    For all planes I use the relevant mods, which improve the quality and handling of these planes dramatically. The Longitude, especially, is quickly becoming my favorite plane.

    I'm not going to link each and every mod separately, but here is the relevant sticky from the MSFS forums. Be sure to also check out the discussions in the relevant sub-forums.

    I haven't had so much fun in a flight sim since the early days of Terminal Reality's Fly!

    I'm opening this thread because I don't want to hijack the other one already opened with a different purpose.

    Two open questions: 

    1) Do you agree that each update is reducing the visual quality of MSFS?

    Quick note: this is not whining: this is an opinion based on facts.

    1) No, I don't agree. 

    2) Your opinion might be "based on facts". but you do realize that there are about 678 threads talking about how the sim "gets worse after every upgrade".

    Raise the issue at zendesk and report it on the msfs forums.
