Leonardo froze the Prepar3D Maddog X in October 2023 and retired it; simMarket still sells it at €80.00 unmarked. A superb aeroplane and a bad purchase.

SimSoft AirportInfo 2.0 is a tidy standalone airport-data window at EUR 5.95 — but it connects to no simulator at all, and its developer has gone unreachable.

X-Plane's first payware Chiang Mai arrived on 5 August 2026 with no reviews, no manual and a dead support site. The pedigree behind it is the reason to look.

AVX Sorter charges €12.99 for a job free tools have handled since 2020. The features are real, but the public record behind them is barely six weeks old.

MK Studios’ Fuerteventura 2017 is simMarket’s #15 all-time seller, was free for a day in 2020, and stops at P3D v4. Whether €15.00 still buys enough today.
