I realized that I was stuck with a bunch of addons purchased a while ago that I wasn’t using anymore. Hardly any serious addons have been release for it. However, this game is still in it’s infancy without a proper SDK. When Flight Simulator (2020) came out, it revolutionized the way scenery was generated using photogrammetry and satellite imagery to generate a world so accurate that you could see your house in the game. I wasn’t upset because I thought I would only play X-Plane from now on. My backup hard-drive failed and lost everything. I was confident that I didn’t need my old sim anymore and deleted all my installers for FS2004 mods. Many simulations were very in-depth, study-level and so realistic that even pilots could use it for training. I eventually moved on to X-Plane 11 by Laminar Research at the time where the addon market for it was starting to boom. This is assuming that the addons are not abandoned by the developer.
Whenever an upgrade was released for the addons, developers often made users pay an upgrade fee. The software was continuously updated breaking the addons that were purchased for the simulator. Later on, Lockheed-Martin picked up from where the ESP platform was left from Microsoft and released newer and improved versions as Prepar3d. Back then, FSX required very powerful computers and the poor performance made me return back to FS2004.
When FSX was released, all those addons were not compatible with it and became obsolete.
I purchased a large collection of addons back in 2009-2015 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 of a large variety and with much money.
