There is a huge difference between these so called add-ons and an expansion pack. Add-ons will only affect a limited amount of people where an expansion pack will affect the larger part of the community. The problem with these add-ons, sometimes know as DLC (Down Loadable Content) how it will affect the community. If they do this buy plane by plane system then what your going to have is the few players with the latest and greatest with all the bells and whistles then have the larger part of the community with only the base game or very few add-ons. I think this will result in a negative impact on the game. The same thing can be seen in more recent games like Empire Total War. You had the base game then all the sudden all these little add-ons here and there, well these little add-ons build up, both in cash and quantity. Soon you have the few who have all these special DLC units, which greatly upsets the mechanics of the game. Such small things should be released for free. Unless your spend some hard time on the things and release something worthy and big enough to put onto a hard copy then don't bother charging for it. This whole add on/money grab is probably a result of it's success in the console world, mainly through games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Buying add-ons of songs etc. May not seem like much but it builds up my friends to the point where it just gets ridiculous.
