Fsaddons shutting down for good

See this thread if you missed it otherwise:

FSAddon Closing Shop! (sim-outhouse.com)

Pity. Link for full info: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/conte...sing-Its-Doors .

But with the advent of the new MSFS the sales have now dropped to almost nothing, and the cost of the web sites has not gone down. So it just does not make sense to continue. Most of my work these days is responding to former customers who managed to lose their downloads and request new links and registration keys.

Very sad endeed. I bought some of his work since i had fsx gold installed. But his decision is perfectly understandable

A great shame but wholly understandable. MSFS has had an enormous impact on development and developers. It's most serious side effect for smaller houses is the significant drop in sales. Unless a developer or publisher has a strong inventory and can cope with volume output it is most difficult to weather the storm while new skills and new knowledge are acquired. If you are relatively young and have the energy, it is a great time to be in the business. However, for a lot of "older dogs", these new tricks are simply a bridge too far.

I wish you well Francois, we will miss you.

A sad loss for those of us who have enjoyed your eclectic aircraft Francois.
You will be missed.

For me Francois filled the void for those aircraft I couldn't find anywhere else. Always first class. I will miss you buddy. Hope you do well with your retirement. Also hope we see you here for you input. Thanks for everything.

Sorry to hear FS Addons are closing down I have a number of their models.
If its not too late does the Bristol Frieghter work in Prepar3d V5?

Just got it and it works perfectly for me in V4.5 so don't see why it wouldn't in V5

Just installed it and yes it works in V5.
However the installer had to be fooled by renaming the main folder V4 from V5 and then renaming back to V5. Once installed in the main directory I was able to cut and paste the aircraft folders into my add-on folder without issue.
Lovely models

Just got the Bristol for p3dv4 too
