Flying Fries Rentals
Flying Fries payware add-ons are now available to rent on the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Marketplace. There are a few important details we want to clarify so that you can fully understand the concept.
MSFS 2024 Marketplace
This rental feature was designed by Microsoft and is only available on the MSFS 2024 Marketplace. As you may or may not know, Flying Fries does not sell any add-ons directly. We work with different platforms and can only offer our customers the options available on those platforms. Currently, rentals are only available on the MSFS 2024 Marketplace.
Pricing
We wanted the pricing to be fair for anyone interested in or intrigued by a Flying Fries product. You shouldn't have to spend too much to try an aircraft and see whether its quality matches what you would expect from a payware product. There are two price tiers depending on the base price of the add-on.
For example, the Scrapyard Monster is currently the only add-on in the Sweet collection. The Gabriel and XF-11 are part of the Grand collection.
| Rental period | Grand add-ons | Sweet add-ons |
|---|---|---|
| 1-day | $1.99 | FREE |
| 3-day | $2.99 | $0.99 |
| 7-day | 50% of full price | $1.99 |
Note that if you rent a product and decide to purchase it within seven days after the end of the rental period, Microsoft will deduct the rental price from your purchase price. This means you won't pay more than you would have by buying it directly. The process is automatic and handled by Microsoft. To our knowledge, this does not apply to one-day and three-day rental periods. As mentioned earlier, this is out of our hands — it is Microsoft's feature.
Most recent add-ons
You will notice that our newest add-ons will not be available to rent right away.
We want to offer temporary exclusivity to our loyal customers who choose to pay the full price and support our independent studio.
This is not an attempt to deceive you by pressuring you into buying a low-quality product. We are committed to producing high-quality, enjoyable aircraft and other modules. We want to be proud of our work and fly alongside you, share a laugh, and have fun — that's what it's all about!
Those who trust us, have the budget, and perhaps watch a review or two before purchasing our add-ons should not be disappointed.
For those who are more cautious, who may not yet know Flying Fries, or who have been burned on this Marketplace one too many times, we strongly encourage you to wait for the rental option — there is no pressure to buy anything.
A delay of four to six months will be applied between a product's purchase release date and its availability for rental. Ultimately, however, all of our payware products will be available to rent.
