Yes they do. I sent them feedback about addons and they said they'd consider it. So yes they do.

They aren't going to say "no".

"We'll consider it" = "The kid won't email us again *phew*"

Chances are, they'll read it, then trash it and won't give it any other thought.

They probably already have their hangar organized. Everyone wants them to put in the aircraft they like the best. They'll only put in what they feel like selling and what is easier to design.
This right here.

Microsoft isn't going to go out of their way to model uncommon aircraft. They usually bundle the popular ones with the boxed game and call it a day (there have always been Cessna props out of the box).

Also, if Microsoft is doing a DLC-style addon system, they will be withholding aircraft from the game that they can later sell to users. For example, Microsoft might model a fleet of antique military planes to sell in a bundle later on. Every company does this, most notably EA with Battlefield 3. I hope this isn't the case, though.

I actually like the system. EVen though it may not be high quality like PMDG, it can still be a new aircraft to play with.

I wouldn't want to pay for something "half-done" though. If I'm going to shell out $ for something, I want the best quality (ie. PMDG).

But we're all just guessing here..

So you want to wait 5 years for a good add-on? Any add-on can be amazing even if it's not PMDG quality. As long as it is visually complete, flies accurate, and has enough features to match today's standards, then it's a good add-on. Especially if it's free.

I didn't necessarily mean it like that. I love Captainsim, some of wilco (737pic), etc.. I should say "properly done" with full systems or at least most of it functional like FMC, vnav/lnav.

I'm not sure if they're going to be free or not. All I know is that there will be addons, weather it's a plane, a livery, or something like FSPassengers.

I really hope they don't withhold content from the game and sell it later as DLC. Though content packs like FSX: Acceleration would be pretty good.

Nah, I'm sure they'll just send me a message that they'll consider it so they can shut my mouth. I don't think they'll add some aircraft because just one user wants it.

I just discovered on the FAQ section that they're including new aircraft. Who knows, maybe they'll add the 182 again.
