I see your point Alain, but your using a predominantly story-driven game as your comparison. I could argue that I could spend hours and hours playing Modern Warfare or Forza Motorsport, and the DLC for those games is considerably cheaper. I just think that this game must be viewed from the perspective of a gamer and not just a simmer, and from that perspective $20 is too much for a relatively small bit of DLC.

I personally think the DLC pricing is a bit silly. For most of you guys who have been playing flight sims for years, the pricing might seem reasonable compared to other flight sims. However, from the point of view of a noob, somebody like me who hasn't really ever played a flight sim before and has a general gaming background, the prices are very steep. I think at the most they should be at Xbox 360 DLC pricing levels, which are generally 800-1200 MS points (not sure what this is in dollars as I am from outside of the USA). I am looking at Microsoft Flight, as I'm sure many noobs are, as a game as much as a flight simulator (possibly more the former than the latter). In this sense, if they really want to attract more people to flight sims, and therefore appeal to the first-timers and the general gamers, they need to seriously reduce pricing.
