How do you mean, RoFfan? The single seat fighters cost the same so you must mean that some aircraft "deliver more" than others..?

No, I just mean that some aircraft come with almost no instrumentation. So, a Sopwith Camel + field mods is about $9.62, but a Nieuport 28 + field mods is about $12.62, but you end up with the same instrumentation. I dunno, I understand the need for revenue, but it seems unfortunate that it works out that some aircraft cost more to get the same stuff.

The Nieuport 28 and Pfalz are included in the ICE version so no one would have to pay for them separately.

It makes sense to try out the play for free, and then buy the ICE version. More planes to be had for $39.99.

777 have a successful business model, it plainly works, otherwise they would not still be functioning.
I was brought up in a time when nothing came for free, you work hard and if you want something, you save up and buy it..
I respect the team immensely, and am happy to buy items that I want, and at the same time help to fund their future progress, it's a win, win situation.

Well, I doubt that the entente and central powers had agreed on a nominal fighterplane standard and cost during the real world war..! ;-)

Seriously though... I see your point, and it's a good one. However, different products has different standards, and different prices.
For instance, some aircraft may be harder to research, and require more creative modeling and programming, which equals time - and time is money. Yet they cost the same... Is that fair?

I think the most important factor here is that the DLC products keep the developer in business and the users get high quality content.

I feel that I get my moneys worth, and then some. Others may disagree.

One thing we all seem to agree to is that Rise of Flight is a damn good sim! :-)

Iracing make you pay monthly and buy the cars...just saying.

No one forces you to buy anything, regular sales means you can get most of it for a good price...for what you pay and what you get out of the game is very good

I agree, nobody is forced to buy if they don't want it.
My opinion, well, most ac cost very little. A camel plus field mods for the price of a pack of cigarettes in the UK or half a pizza in the US. I've never understood why people critique the 777 business model. It's the model that keeps them in business. They could be out of business by now if they hadn't gone they way they have. I'd rather pay a few pennies every now and again for extra content, than pay £50 2 years ago and be looking at the same thing 2 years later and RoF out of business.

Considering the massive amounts of cash I've spent on my other hobby (collecting and shooting firearms), Rise of Flight is a very affordable pastime for me. It's money well spent.

Ill put it to rest with this quote

"Ask 1c about marketing plans"

Long live Rise of Flight I think Jason and the boys have done a wonderful job

Hey Raptor, that actually worked..! Well done! ;-)
