Default Look at this....

Anyone know how to talk these guys into making anything for SH4?



That one is for flight simulations, and they have many more where King George V came from

Judging by the website... I think cold hard cash would be the way to convince them. But then hey... everybody needs to make a buck!

That's FSX for ya. The only reason I never bought a single one from the series is that all the worthwhile mods are pay-to-play and vanilla is just too bland.

Plus I really don't have the money to buy all the hardware to fully enjoy the experience.

I am pretty sure it is perfectly legal to charge for an addon as long as it does not contain the original game's code and does not play in a stand-alone fashion.

Over Flanders Fields charges $50 for a Microsoft CFS3 mod, lots of others do as well. And as Hmuda said, almost all of the good content for FSX costs money.

wow the fricken king george battleship is $25!!!I would'nt pay a dime for a mod in my opinion it aint worth it.

and i agree with hmuda, All i have is a joystick and i bought the vanilla game. Litte did i know most people who play that game wear actual pilot uniforms and have modified their desk into a cockpit. And there I was trying to fly a bush plane in a storm wearing nothing but lucky underwear.....and my joystick.

It is not a mod, as there are no files of the original FSX changed.

For FSX, there is a SDK with a variety of tools available, 3D modeller can design new models (planes, ships, cars, aiports, cities, etx.), new functions for these models can be programmed because FSX offers an interface for this. Microsoft has recognized early that 3rd party developers are important for the FS community and made the SDK available with the product.

This ship is used as a third-party AddOn, as hundreds of other FSX AddOn's too. There are some manufacturers who gain their income only of making AddOn's for FSX and FS9 as payware AddOn's. Some of them are available as boxes in stores and some are only available for download.

Overcharge. In reality if you check you can find plenty of mods for any game you don't have to pay for as good.

I wouldn't be against paying for a mod that actually did something major to a game.
