From Flight Sim Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Marketplace in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) is an in-sim store which allows for the purchase and fully automatic download/installation of new content. The developer, Asobo Studios, offers some content for sale in this store, though most available content is added by approved third-party creators.

Types of content

Third-party content consists of several different categories and has been separated into individual pages for ease of browsing. The following pages only list content which already have associated articles.
