It's just that I am making a suggestion for those who don't need/want this highly realistic stuff
YEAH .... but .... this's where we've also gotta be careful too my friend !

This is just
"A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION" .... but ....
"IF" your suggestion were adopted (as well intentioned as it is), imagine how potentially difficult it becomes for HJG if non-standard, old, and unsupported data is employed by too many folk whom then run into problems with it .... and then start filing complaints. It kind of risks getting both HJG and the new product a very bad name

See where I'm comming from now ?
It really create
"A HELL OF A SITUATION" trying sort out what's gone wrong.
Throughout my many years of FS experience, I've seen countless situations where folk have used non-standard data combinations with new release products .... then become disatisfied with resulting performance .... then complaints filed .... then literally hours of time then wasted by producers trying to troubleshoot a particular problem which is actually non-existent within a new product and without the benefit of knowing that whatever's gone wrong is likely caused by the use of non-standard, old, unsupported data.
Sadly .... when "some" folk report problems they're inclined to be "VERY SELECTIVE" about what they do or don't mention with regard what they've actually done that might have led to their problem in the first instance .... it's not easy sometimes

That's really where I'm comming from my friend .... if you can now see what I mean !

HJG want to provide the best possible panels (and other data) for all our aircraft .... even if that means a higher than normal degree of associated complexity. Aviation is after all a relatively sophisticated business and the group tries to reflect that as best as possible within their products.
HJG also want folk to enjoy what they produce .... in as much as folk who download our products want to enjoy them too.
HJG do try going out of thier way to troubleshoot reported problems and provide as much other support/advice as possible too .... but at the end of the day .... it does make life much easier for "everyone" is all on the same page/using the same current data.
Of course HJG can't possibly support a panel version that's non-standard
