July 17, 200520 yr In this situation, PMDG should announce the price, at least.Regards,Shaheedan Abdul Wahab
July 17, 200520 yr I quite highly doubt that you will ever see the official price before you see the order button active in precisionmanuals.com
July 17, 200520 yr Hi Robin,What if it's $46? ;o)I'm sure for this, you will stretch a little! Take care,Steve.
July 17, 200520 yr ;) Anything up to $49.99 is fine actually... It still doesn't sound as big as $50 :-lol
July 17, 200520 yr How about $59. Maybe even $69. Better add-ons keep going up in price. I would buy at either price.
July 17, 200520 yr Yeah looks like $50 is a sweet spot. If I think about it, I think "above $50" many people might shy away, so PMDG might actually make more money if it was $49.99 or lower. :-)
July 17, 200520 yr >Now that the 747 is fast approaching can anyone hint as to>how much it will cost?Hi AVSIM Group;I've been a lurker for years and have gotten so much knowlwedge and enjoyment from this site it is impossible to describe it. I've purchased almost all the PMDG products for the FS series. I've been reading the 747-400 posts with interest and cannot wait until its ready for market. I've been awaiting this price post. I laugh at some of the requests for detail in a simulation that are hard to find in even the airline simulators. Things like wing flex, the proper shade of color for guages and many other details. I read the continual comparisons to Level D aircraft and Hardy's PS-1. Then I see this post and everyone wants the most detailed aircraft up to this date for $35 or $40. I payed $250 for PS-1 and it didn't have flex wings, VC cockpit or a fleet of planes for various carriers. I think many of the individuals posting demand way too much simulator for what they are willing to pay. I hope I don't have to pay what I payed for PS-1, but from what I have seen and had described by the beta testers, I won't feel ripped off if the price is in a range above $35 or $40. This is an awesome and complex simulation and deserves a price commensurate.Phil Carroll
July 17, 200520 yr True, but hey, it's PMDG, every request is worth a try, since the magic team will fix it up most likely :-lol

The most serious MSFS aircraft addons currently range up to about $40-$45 at this time. This includes PMDG's previous products. They might crank the price up just a tad, but if they go much out of that range, they will lose potential customers in droves no matter how good it is. As for PS1, that was a stand alone sim as far as I know, which menat designing not only the aicraft but the full environment in which it flew. PMDG did not have to do that.Andrew
July 17, 200520 yr >You can say whatever you want, and buy it or not.Exactly Andrew. You can't demand complexity and also demand a price tag in the same message.At the end of the day, it will be released when its ready, it will feature what PMDG decide to feature, and it will cost what they seem fit.If you want an add-on thats cheap and has everything you want I'd suggest opening Adobe Photoshop and your favourite programming language ;)
