 >The endless influx of low-quality, low-realism, quantity-over-quality 
aircraft into FGAddon

I'll say something else directly related to the title of this thread. So 
the argument is we will loose users because they try an aircraft and 
what, it flies nothing like a real aircraft? What new casual user knows 
what a real airplane flies like? In fact we are more likely to retain 
that user because there are 400 out of the 600 that work and and work 
well. You hit start and they go and they fly. They may or may not be 
perfectly realistic, but they are easy to fly and they are visually a 
decent representation of that make and model aircraft. I think that is 
exactly what is likely to keep a new or casual user around. Way more 
likely than 10 perfect, very complex and difficult to fly aircraft. So 
for that type user I say the 400+ Helija aircraft are very beneficial. 
So what, it is the experienced simmer that we will loose because they 
fly an aircraft and it doesn't perform as they expect, or it is missing 
lots of the panel gauges or switches and knobs. Well if the only way 
they will stick around is if all aircraft offered in addons is perfect 
because they are not interested in getting their hands dirty to improve 
a less than perfect aircraft, who cares, I want to the attract the 
simmer that wants to improve stuff, not the ones that demand perfection 
or they are out of here. The entire argument doesn't make sense to me 
and I don't believe it is even a thing.

Why were there were no responses to the results of the filter results I 
posted. That if you want to see only the best (10 aircraft), you slide 
the sliders all the way up. If that is so hard or complicated that it 
alone will cause a new user to bail, I submit, who cares! Where is the 
loss? Again, we are not selling something. We are not loosing revenue. 
Apparently we are not even loosing someone that is willing to get hands 
on and make something better. We are not loosing anything of value to 
the project.
