pilotposer Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hello, not to ruffle anybodys feathers but, since MSFS 2020 has rightfully taken over the development of payware aircraft and FS9 and FSX is now out of favor with them, can maybe they offer their aircraft at a discount. It's better than letting them collect dust and there is still enough of us out there using these older systems. Happy Holidays to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Digital copies of payware aircraft do not take up any physical space nor do they collect dust. And you need to address the "they" folks and not the members here. They are the ones you need to ask. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Over the years many developers have marked down previous versions of a plane when versions for new FS were released; some even released older versions free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 As said above, some have released older versions for lower prices, or even for free. One issue with selling older aircraft is support. Those that pay money for them are going to expect some level of support, which smaller developers in particular, may not be able to provide. One of the big issues that people run into is installing those older add-ons on modern versions of Windows, for example. Fixing it may be easy, or it may not, but either way it will take away time and effort from other projects that will bring in more money to keep the lights on.

jgf Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Main issue with some older payware isn't the aircraft themselves so much as the installer may not work in newOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
