Where is the marketplace? How do i download new aircraft?

Total blackout from Asobo and Microsoft!

Maybe buy from 3rd-party vendors.

Works for many of us.

I have to say that they not even opened the Market till now is a very bad sign.

It is one bad thing to launch something incomplete but not doing everything in their might to deliever what is missing in a respectable time thereafter is not acceptable.

The Marketplace is something they should have a big incentive to open because it generates them money. If this isn't motivation enough to make things happen for them what will motivate them to fix all the broken things that not directly generates them money?

Wonder what's going on over there!?

They wanted to create a new flights sim 2024 for whatever reason.. and now motivation lost to finish it or what?

In all likelihood, the suits determined that their burn rate had to come down after release. I.e. less people are working on this project now. Just speculation but very plausible speculation.

At the outset, there was a critical bug from Marketplace that crashed the game. Seeing at Marketplace has hundreds of items, each with thousands of lines of code, it took them a while to figure out that much. I guess that bug is fixed, but beyond that who knows.

ACES for FSX always had a full-time staff to work on that sim. They did contract out to 2PDS, but I doubt 2PDS or 3PDS are working on Marketplace in this case. Whatever is wrong with Marketplace is a serious fault. I am sure alarm bells are going on continuous, it's such a large project since it's not just PC but also XBOX and whatever else.

As for the suits, they'd be likely to pull the plug as much as they would to throttle anything back. Again, look what happened to ACES.

MSFS probably gets some leeway because it's a flagship project and it's innovative, it pushes MS tech past where it's been. MS counts on these innovations to trickle down to the Gaming Division, and to drive more sales. Once the contracts have been fulfilled, that's when the suits will decide whether or not the whole thing was worth the expense. Really healthy opening sales have helped, the slow death of Marketplace does not.

Would be pretty sad to start charging for planes when not all of the base game planes are working, the pc-12 still has pressurization bug, the es-30 still can't recharge batteries, and airbus displays are still missing in action.

you know there is a marketplace in-game correct? good, I knew you did. It hasnt been open for business since the game released over 2 months ago. maybe stop trying to be such a cutie, and admit the game thus far is a fiasco.

is it anymore sad, than charging premium prices for a buggy, unfinished, Beta release of a supposed AAA title? I doubt it.
