I don't know if you realize this or not, but Microsoft does not have any official representatives here, so none of us can answer these kinds of questions about possible upcoming products. (Note that it's possible that if any of us did know, most likely we'd be under a non-disclosure agreement so we couldn't tell you anyway.)
You could try suggesting such an add-on by sending Microsoft an email to:
Tell_FS@microsoft.com
Although it's highly unlikely anyone from Microsoft will answer you, you might try asking these kinds of questions in Microsoft's public newsgroups like microsoft.public.simulators and microsoft.public.games.
Hope this helps!

>>I have a question when will microsoft make a aerobatic contest add

aerobatic championship type add on<<I doubt it will ever happen. Microsoft concentrates on the core product, then relies on 3rd party developers for such addons.

>> I hope abacus could make one but if I had the skill's needed to make a
add on then I would is there a add on developer? that I can buy or is it
that I have to go to abacus and get every add on making software that
they make<<That's a tall order. The addon market is fueled by the SDKs (software development kits) that Microsoft provides. Most high quality addons are produced by folks that are competent programmers, and use these tools. Some 3rd party development is helped along with tools sold by companies such as Abacus, but they are very limited in what they can do. I wouldn't spend alot of money on development kits to try this on your own, unless you are a very good programmer.
