Probably because most third party planes are so much better and they know nobody will fly the defaults anyways. ::)

Yah that is true, but most of the downloads use default plane sound and panel. It is kinda cheesy when an A320 uses a 737 panel :-/

You're welcome to join the madness and build your own!!!

OF course, a probable reason is that until FS-X, Airbus and Microsoft couldn't come to terms with the level of cooperation / information transfer needed!

You mean "bad planes" in the sim?
In real life they are far more advanced than Boeing and better aerodynamically!!!! 8-)
