Give your opinions on payware publishers.
I appreciate I have just mentioned the "shell" companies but feel free to be more specific if you wish.

Kinda hard to say. I think PMDG's publishers are Aerosoft for the boxed products, so I'd have to go with them. However I have quite a few Flight1 products and I am just as impressed with them. Just Flight is good because their English ( Makes it easier to buy), and Abacus are good because you get what you paid for and the packages aren't specific.

Toss up between JF for the variety the've brought (PSS/CS/AH/UK2000/VFR Photoscenery), and Flight1 for their wrapper system which make buying certain products very simple indeed...

I have one product from JustFlight, two from AeroplaneHeaven, and five from Abacus.  All were chosen because of what they were or what they did, not because of who published them.

The 'try before you buy' nature of Abacus is a big bonus is my book, I could see what I was getting before deciding to part with my cash.  But I can't say I've had any negative experiences with the other publishers either.

Flight1, for their huge variety.

Carenado, FSD International, and Dreamfleet, which may be considered a part of Flight1, not sure

Carenado, FSD International, and Dreamfleet, which may be considered a part of Flight1, not sure  ???

Oops almost forgot Eaglesoft......

Dreamfleet yes.....The others are all on their own...F1 just distributes like SimMarket and Aerosoft...

I would say Aeroworx, even though they are part of flight 1 and only have one plane lol.  

Then I would say flight1.  Some of their aircraft are just amazing.  Not just aircraft, but enhancements for your FS.

Keeping it all separate, I would say PMDG would make third on my list.  Fantastic aircraft.  

PMDG and Captain Sim for attention to detail, and realism in the cockpits.

Flight1 is a really good (Including carenado etc) I have 90% of their aircraft! Captain sim is also good, and PMDG Is my personal Favorite for Commericial Airlines.....I really dont know who is the best, They are all good in there own ways..... and I've tried most, if not all of the most popular Payware aircraft, Cheers, Gunny

My vote goes to Flight1. I have most of the Dreamfleet GA planes and I buy them through Flight1. For other publisher/manufacturer I choose Carenado. Fantastic stuff they make.

Carenado.

My vote goes to Just Flight. All of my payware products are a combo of Just Flight/Captainsim!

It woud seem PMDG are the leaders by a long way.
I personally like Aerosoft - they seem to do more of the general/military stuff I prefer to tool around in

What about RealAir? And Level-D? And FlyTampa?
