![]() ![]() The fact that a developer has released several 777 models that are basically just reskinned 747s and a C-130 that doesn't even have a flight deck hasn't discouraged PMDG and Blackbird Simulation from working on their own high-fidelity add-ons of the same aircraft. The market has provided an (also abysmal) Eurofighter Typhoon just as early, and yet a much better one has been released and another is in the works. The existence of a (frankly abysmal) 737 MAX since the early months of the sim's lifetime hasn't stopped PMDG from making theirs. There are already many examples of low-fidelity aircraft that haven't stopped the developers who have the appropriate resources and know-how from announcing, developing, and even releasing their more advanced products. Those who want a high-fidelity product wouldn't refrain from purchasing a perfectly-simulated 767 when it's finally released just because this exists, and I've never seen reputable developers who create high-fidelity aircraft give up their projects because low-fidelity alternatives exist. Some justify their hostility with the idea that it "steals business" for higher-fidelity products, or that it discourages their creation, but that has historically never been true. It has always been part of flight simulation and has always been polarizing. This kind of add-on isn't new to Microsoft Flight Simulator and it isn't even appreciably more common than it was before.
