I understand the time and effort that goes into developing an aircraft. I understand that it is a lot of dedication and knowledge. But the lack of support is a service that a developer must provide. These things make my opinion of a developer change. The AKD in general seems to be a good aircraft and can improve a lot in the future. But the lack of support makes me distrust and makes me think about not buying the AKD G650 due to their attitudes. I hope that it is something that all developers and future developers take note of regarding the quality of technical support.

AKD is not the best developer out there and is a new developer compared to other developers. But their plane is pretty good and maybe it needs a little more development and they will get there. What nobody evaluates about developers is their support. And if their plane is very good but their support is bad and arrogant, the plane becomes a medium quality plane. For example FF. I don't like FF and their support is deplorable. FF planes don't seem surprising to me at all. AKD is failing me with their support because they don't answer either. And the lack of support makes the good image of a developer go down a lot in my opinion. Example: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/320186-vnav-not-working-properly/ And if you take a few minutes to look at other, much more recent requests, they have already been answered or resolved.

I understand your point of view but I don't agree totally with it. The CL650 has both and it's not cheap. I mention that plane as an example. But for the price of the GLF550 I think you can't ask for more than that. What I do see as very bad and getting worse is the support provided by some developers. Some of them have very bad and arrogant technical support.

I agree. I prefer that the systems and flight model are taken into account first and the technical support that the developer can provide second. I am interested in good quality textures. But it is useless to have a nice plane when the plane lacks flight dynamics and complex development in systems. And a combination of good price and good quality is very difficult. A good addon at a cheap price is impossible. I bought the AKD a few days ago and it works very well. Just a small detail to polish in the VNAV. But if we make a balance in comparison with the quality and the price and the support they provide, it is fair to pay 34 dollars on sale for this plane. For that price one cannot ask for too much.

The AKD GLF 550 is a very good plane. I recommend this add-on for the XP12 which is where I am using this plane. It is very complete and if you look on YouTube for Cockpit Procedures videos and compare them with the AKD plane you will notice that this metal bird is a very good development. The autopilot and the LNAV and VNAV work very well. Perhaps something to criticize are the textures in general and the tablet. But I really care about how the plane flies and its complexity in the systems. There will be some texture updates but the plane is very good and I recommend it. With this I am not saying that it is the best plane but it is not a bad product if we take into account the cost and quality.

I would buy the Toliss A330. I don't like FF very much. But I would consider buying an aircraft that is not a BETA version. If it is a BETA, I prefer to wait a little longer and buy a more stable version in the future. And I'm talking about any aircraft in general. Regardless of the developer or aircraft. If it's BETA I wouldn't buy it.

It is true and it is very possible that this will happen. Everything will depend on whether AeroGenesis continues the development of the A330 and that not everyone can pay $90 for a plane. As I have said before and I hope it can be the next ZIBO but from Airbus.

I concur. I support those who dare to update and improve the planes that X-Plane 12 has by default, but I think your comment is very good. Vinci and AeroGenesis should join together and add both knowledge. Hopefully it will be the next Zibo but from Airbus
