I was once foolish to complaining about payware files. But to repeat what was already said, you get what you pay for.
I wanted high quality military planes, the only way I could get those were to purchase them. What kills me is people complain about payway aircraft yet see no issue to upgrade to the latest and greatest Video card usually costs around $300 USD if not more.
Others have to have the whole HOTAS, cougar costs over $400 or the Yoke and peddal system which I'm assuming must be more than that.
This is no longer just a game but a hobby. Try taking up skiing or golf and see how expensive everything is. I had to stop skiing due to the climbing cost of the ski ticket, gas and everything else.
If you can provide good freeware for those who can't/won't purchase payware then good for you. But I for one am glad there are companies stepping forward producing HIGH QUALITY Military AC for my simming pleasure 8)
just my opinion, not attacking anyone else's
