Looking for plane packs.. NOT 5 dollars for some cockpit instruments like ROF.

Then wait for patches and expansions. ;)

There is something i have to add to my previous post:

Expansions, containing plane sets for a theatre, for a existing or with a new map, i'd buy instantly, as long as they are MG approved and merge with the main game.

Just not single things like planes or equipment.

I completely agree, and this is what we are getting. Stand alone expansions with a completely new planese, maps, theatre, objects and whatever else that can be merged with previous installations. :)

I know there is contention as to whether to have DLC or not, i support both arguments, Addons are great, dlc is optional, so i see both sides...

777 studios have DLC planes and this: http://riseofflight.com/en/store/campaigns

DCS Have addons and a mission area like this: http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/

We have user made mission depots like this: http://airwarfare.com/sow/index.php?...tegory&catid=5

Without dedicated members of our comunity we wouldnt have anything.

Please devs give us a more user friendly way of finding content. Maybe even competitions... and release them with patches.

Why not employ someone to create endless content whithin the sim?

Oh sigh, this thread is getting no where. It's been discussed and read please someone lock it - it's just going around in circles...
We all have differing opinions - granted; but it has already been stated by the developers on the course of action which will be taken regarding this.

It wasn't meant to go anywhere m8. I just though I'd share my thoughts, opinions and hopes in the matter, some expressed their opinions (like you) and thoughts which is soooo cool because this a forum and guess what, that's what we do here ;). I just wanted to hear what everyone else was thinking and in that regard this thread has been interesting to read, for me anyway, doesn't always have to end in arguments about who is right or wrong and a locked thread.:)

I'll say it again, DLC should only be made available as a compliment to existing expansions, never a 100% substitute.

P.S You have some valid points and concerns with DLC which should be taken in to regard if DLC ever happens.

more dollars than cents there

And there has been no official word from the developers regarding the implementation or availbility of DLC. But if there is then I am sure we will have more of these threads to discuss it when it happens. It just annoys me when we do have these discussions and then one person comes around and replies without reading it through entirely (or understanding?) and it just eventuates into arguments. But isn't that how the majority of threads asking for "opinion" end on this forum? I really just think it will pay to wait for word from those in charge. It's perhaps a good question for the devs in one of the Friday updates.
And I really hope and think that after Moscow's (or before) release that there will be a chance for questions to be asked and answered by the devs each week - like what Wargaming.net does, but there's is every weeks or something. But the questions are really stuff that we want to know and the developer replies are really good; they always explain the situation and never try to cut corners.

Sounds like a necessary (and very nice) respite after a $35 commute.
