Couldn't agree more with the OP.

The ratings are a joke.
No complaints with Helijahs work that I have greatly enjoyed in over 20
years of using FG. It is what it is and he provides a good starting point
for other developers. I sincerely thank him for his prodigious efforts over
the decades.
However I do not think his work should be front and centre in the default
hanger as the OP says, it gives an overall negative impression to a new
user.
OR put them in another hangar called Gamer or something like that, just
make it clear these are for fun or further development and not indicative
of a proper simulation aircraft.
