Hi everyone,
I'm nearing the release of my first airplane for FSX and P3D ( Northrop F-15A Reporter / P-61C Black Widow ) and am curious to see whether folks are keener on freeware than payware. I'm not asking because I don't think people should pay for their sim airplanes, more about how many of us are obsessed with seeing every switch, dial and gauge faithfully rendered to within a pixel of its life? Although fabulously complex, I've grown somewhat tired of purchasing aircraft that are so detailed that I need to spend months figuring out how to use them properly. The reason I ask is that there are many types out there available as brilliant payware that aren't around much as "turn on your PC and go have fun" freeware. I'm thinking of doing some of these airplanes as my next project rather than seeking another type that hasn't been made yet.
It's taken me a year to complete ( almost ) my first project, and I've learned so much that the next will likely take much less time. As an example, I really like airplanes like the P-47D Thunderbolt. This exists as expensive freeware, and basic freeware, but nothing right in the middle of the two. ( I think Milton Shupe has a racer version but not a WW2 version ). Would there be demand for such a thing or would folks just shrug and go buy something from A2A or Milviz etc?
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply
