Thank you AK416, that is helpful. Not good but helpful in understanding. I am purchasing as little as possible in the marketplace going forward and try to go directly to the creator's site if available.

Ignoring the rest, you quite clearly wrote: "Someone tell me if this is not true because it's pretty c%$##y if it is."
That was what "completely invented" meant - it isn't true. Apologies if it came across as harsh, but I have to reply to countless messages like this daily, and we devs have no power when it comes to the Marketplace delays in updates and new products.

But OF COURSE you have the power to decide where to sell your products and where not.
And if you had had to endure what we have (already for 3 months) with Drzewiecki and Orbx scenery bought from the Marketplace, while the same products bought somewhere else work OK, you'd understand why we don't want even to hear about the Marketplace.
And before you come out again with the piracy question, be advised that other vendors have also security systems, like the Contrail app used by LatinVFR to sell their products through Simmarket, for example.
I really hope you eventually reconsider your decision, because I'd really love to buy the Concorde.
If you have issues with the Marketplace, the most likely place to get any resolution is the official forum. To my knowledge, nobody from MS/Asobo visits this board.

Oh, it was quite obvious. I was just trying to bump the thread's direction in a slightly different direction.

I wasn't actually expecting help here Tom, just kind of ranting. Didn't mean to ruffle anyone's feathers along the way. I'm better now, had a beer, purchased a debonair, and have been flying for hours with Skypark down in the Caribbean.

Yes, this is true. However, I'm not aware of any advantages in voluntarily dumping 70% of my company's income.
As it happens, I am in the process of arranging a deal with Just Flight for Concorde that is the same as that for the F-14 Tomcats and Stearman, so it may yet appear on third-party stores. The reason for this is the current huge delays in the Marketplace updates / release schedule.

Sill no sign of the update in the marketplace yet
I hope this isn't an indication of how impotent MS/Asobo think you are to them. I know they said they had a backlog of updates to take care of but I thought they would have dealt with them in the order they received them and this ones been so long now that it surely must have made its way to the top of the pile by now.

The Stearman was in the queue to be updated, but it had been on hold by MS for so long that the last sim update then broke it again ( smoke effects borked ). The Marketplace is now so slow that aircraft updates are broken before they can even be processed. I have put all updates on hold now until after SU7 as I'm wasting my time trying to update anything, as all the work is then lost when MS updates the sim and changes everything.

OK thanks for the update on the update
There still releasing plenty of new stuff on the market place which brings in their cut of the sales so that's probably much more important to them where as updates to 3rd party stuff doesn't really boost their coffers.
Guess we'll all have to wait it out.
I'm still enjoying flying the version that we have though and its by far my most flown plane in the sim. Great for sight seeing in VR

I know from a business standpoint a platform like downloadz may be nice for the seller as you as a developer get more of the money. I have purchased more than my share of payware aircraft over the years, including a few from GAS using the downloadz platform and as a consumer I find it a less pleasing experience, as its harder to go back to it later and redownload if there are updates or if I just need to find it again.
Using the MSFS app store or an updater tool like Orbx is more convenient as its easy to add/remove/update and the fewer places I have to go to find all the aircraft I have purchased over the years the better.

I am serious, and stop calling me Shirley.
Does that apply to eg JustFlight too?The Marketplace is now so slow that aircraft updates are broken before they can even be processed. I have put all updates on hold now until after SU7 as I'm wasting my time trying to update anything, as all the work is then lost when MS updates the sim and changes everything.
They're very quick getting updates up, it would be a shame if Microsoft's lardy tardiness did for everyone

Yep, I always buy from Justflight if I can, but Dean is suggesting he won't bother with updates at all for now because Microsoft are so slow to deploy them that they are already broken by the next Simupdate before the original aircraft update gets on the marketplace, even though Justflight did get them out.
With 70%+ of Dean's sales coming from the Marketplace I can understand his position...
It does, but only until after Sim Update 7 next week. The Stearmans, providing everything is still working, will have their smoke updated to one that works again and be sent to both JF and the Marketplace. F-14 and F-15s will be updated in the New Year as Concorde is the priority project at the moment, and although there is lots I'm keen to add to the Tomcats and Eagles, they're basically working well so there's not so much need to rush any updates out for them.
