I would like to see a comment section added to the in-sim marketplace. I’m interested in reading the comments from people who buy an add-on (specifically aircraft) and give it a one star while a vast majority of people give it a four or five star rating. Even when I was flying on the Xbox, I stayed clear of the offerings from certain developers, although I did buy a couple of 777s from the Captain due to there not being much offerings of airliners at the time. Lessons learned though. Edit: After much thought, I think the marketplace should be somewhat similar to an eBay marketplace where if you’re going to give a seller a one star, you should give them a chance to fix the issue before you give them a negative review. However, given the backlog for updates to products already released, this might not be a good idea. I was looking at some add on airports and doing some math to see how many consumers were marking a product either a one or two star rating. The overall numbers were still low compared to four or five star ratings. The ones that stood out to me were airports that were rather large in file size (one had a 10 gigabyte file size), so I wonder if the simmers who are experiencing problems are on the Series S (for instance) or an older PC that has a hard time keeping up graphically with those airports. It doesn’t justify the two or one star ratings, but if it is a hardware limitation, then the simmer needs to be honest about that in a review comment.

Shane, total agreement with this assessment. Bottom line is that MScenery just doesn't cut it. To be fair, many of their flight models were early additions to the MS2020. My problem with them is that they never seem to improve their offerings. Thanks for this!

Bredok has a target market. MSFS are eyed by civil airliner simmer and newbies alike. That's why there is a huge bias against low quality military planes than airliners.

Yes, the bush strips in PNG are fun in something like the Cessna 208, but zipping along at 600 knots and trying basic aerobatics gets the blood going, even if I haven't mastered the weapons or my landings. The downside is the added expenses of a different platform and the module itself, which are considerable. Cheers and happy flying!

As a long time if not lifelong simmer, I am appalled by the quality of some of the products on the MSFS store. It's unbelievable that no first party review takes place before putting it up there. I swear you could find much much better addons for FS9/X FOR FREE. Thankfully a lor of those look like trash even externally so you can spot the trashfires from far away.

I bought the MScenery A4, and it was enough to convince me never to buy another one of their products. Very few of the buttons in the cockpit are interactive, but worst of all was the airspeed gauge didn't work correctly. I would guess this is a multiplier issue? This is pretty basic stuff though, and I'd expect that to at least work correctly. They produce a large number of aircraft in a very short period, so I would guess they have some basic flight models and add a rudementary 3D model and release it within a week. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they used freeware avaiable for FSX or P3D and modded them.

"Ninety Percent of all the gauges have been animated"... on an aircraft with a glass cockpit that has virtually no gauges.

@AusFlightSimmer

5 ай бұрын

Yep.

I don't know what did Captain Sim looked for with its external model C-130 (apart, of course, of earning money in a easier way), when thery were going to publish a totally new C-130 edition.. this time with an excellent inner cabin and a flyable cockpit with preset cameras, panel, system closing to (but not in fact) a professional model and offered no discount AT ALL to the ones who purchased their earlier incomplete version! CS offers a good quality, indeed. However we cannot believe everything they say for they have shown they have a ""biz are biz" philosophy behind all the wonders of their advertisement.

Strange; in MScenery, a frogman is sitting at the controls of the A-10! or Am I seeing wrong?

The YF-23 from MScenery is NOT an YF-23. Its external shape corresponds to a naval version proposed by Northrop Grumman for the US Navy as a Stealth advanced fighter in late '90s to replace the F-14. Obviously, it never flew... The real YF-23 Black Widow II had a totally different tail profile (a large flattened butterfly tail), and a completely different stealth fixed exhaust system. It also did not had a canard profile. Besides... What the heck does a Zvedza-type ejection seat do in a supposedly American fighter??

Way to go ms energy! You are doing consistent work. Your committing business self destruction. Change the future and maybe you’ll get more smiles

Am I crazy or is it M-Scenery, not MS-Scenery? Wouldn’t that by MSSCENERY?

You might be correct MMathew.... :)

Things you missed: That YF-23 doesn't even look remotely close to the real YF-23, the front wheel on the A-10 is too big and the rear wheels are too small. Captain Sim didn't learn from MS Flight that releasing payware aircraft without cockpits is not going to make pilots happy. I am surprised they had the balls to do that.

That YF-23 is not even YF-23. You need to add that it is a ficitional model. You can Google Northrop-Grumman, McDonnell-Douglas YF-23 Black Widow. As 1990s kid, YF-23 is not some weird designation, that can be easily misappropriated like that.

As an Airbus pilot I can tell you the stock A320 is awful. The roll rate is way too slow for proper handling in rough weather.

I always buy 4 star and above never disappointed

I don't get how there is still no moderation within the marketplace, MSCenery stuff would not even be good as freewares. I truly feel bad for people who thought they were buying an aircraft they are passionate about and ended up with a flying .jpeg. Microsoft is basically allowing ripoffs IMO

Of course, I wonder (again) What does a Russian ejection seat do into an European fighter like the MScenery Eurofighter???

Inibuilds, Aeroplane Heaven, MSCENERY, Captain Sim, Cockspur and DC Designs are all the ones I avoid. Absolutely terrible developers.

Many of these aircraft are available as free mods for DCS at WAY higher (sometimes full fidelity) quality. I’m shocked Microsoft even allows this sorta crap on the store.

Probably something by MSCenery

Did you even bother to look inside the C-130? The entire cargo area is modeled and there IS a (rather lousy) cockpit with a pilot and copilot.

Also, while I admit, you do mention the modelled cargo area, you do, then followed this up with a statement that, there are no photographs from the cockpit, "... as there is NO cockpit on this one.". After this, you then go on to say, "... there's no virtual cockpit..." and that it's basically just, "... a C130 flying shell" (insinuating it's completely empty) and compare it to, "a remote controlled aircraft".

MSScenery pushes out 2-3 airplanes or helicoptors every single week. While I would have more sympathy with a new developer just starting out learning to model planes, MSScenery isn't trying to get any better. They are literally doing 2 aircraft a week, where other developers take months or years to develop an aircraft. Producing something of quality isn't a concern. The developer isn't interested in getting better at their craft, they are just overwhelming the market each week to catch people who are unaware. That takes Microsoft resources to test and list 2 aircraft a week. I think that since this developer is not interested in getting better, and they are mass producing these aircraft, using up valuable resources, they should be banned from the marketplace.
