This really is awesome. Thank you, thank you for all the hard work. The discount is truly over the top. I would have paid full price to support this company especially for all the hard work, but I will take the discount. ;) Download finished. Now to install and fly...

Congratulations on getting this product out. However, I am a little concerned on pricing for non-FS9 people who are wanting to buy the PMDG 747 for the first time. Running the 60 Euro price through a currency converter to US Dollars puts the PMDG 747 product at $86 for me. Is this correct by your estimate? This add-on will cost US customers who don't own the FS9 version of this product $86 to buy? It may very well be worth that much, and I am not challenging that at all. But, I must admit that is a little to steep for me to justify paying that much money for an Add-On plane for FSX. I know this isn't your guys fault, but the US dollar is getting hammered right now in the currency markets due to economic trouble in our credit markets, and this really ends up jacking the price of this product way up their for your US customers. It will cost me more to buy this than it did to buy the simulator itself. I may have to wait for the dollar to gain some value before I can afford it.I do hope to own this sometime in the future. Congratulations on getting it finished.Eric

Not to rub it in your face, but the Australian dollar is now just over $US0.91 which is the first time I can ever remember it being that high! I see your point.

Congrats guys! Well done! Can't wait to get it. Looks very good. :-)

OK an obvious question can you use the FS9 tweaks if like me and possibly most of your previous customers you don't have FSX installed? The discount pricing is very tempting but I'm not sure when or even if I will ever get FSX. Thanks.Bruceb

Eric,If I may. These things are so personal..its very difficult to tell some ..yeah..its worth that money. Since..value of money differs vastly from from individual to another.If you have never used PMDGs product particularly the 747. Let me tell you. If you are a reasonably passionate simmer, and you are willing to fly the aircraft using the system....then this aircraft is worth the $85 and more. Yes..relatively speaking it is expensive. However, I have seen GA aircraft that has no system .not even a fully functional GPS and just average quality.sell for over $30. IMO, those GA aircrafts are expensive.But if eye candy is your only interest then... this maybe an over kill. We spend $1500-4000 for a PC every two or three years for simming and after spending some time learning to fly this machine the proper way... BTW, there are oodles and oodles of instructions and tutorials for this baby. There is even an amazing Virgin Atlantic flight from Heathrow to San Francisco on a DVD and trust me, you could do all of the things the real world captain is doing on this one and expect the same results. Hope this helps.Manny

Unfortunately I had to contact your customer support because the discount you offer for previous customers was not taken into consideration for me at the time of check-out.Hopefully this gets sorted out...Thanks again for your hard work.

Thank you very much for another great 747 simulator. I'm running Vista and read the link provided so I'm now aware of Vista's memory problems. I also have the same problem with LDS767 sometimes. It usually happens when I suddenly press a 2d ctrl combo in the virtual cabin. And the vista circle just flashes and then I know it's going to crash. But other than that I had decent frame rates on par or better than what I had in FS9 with the fs9 pmdg 747-400. Thanks for the wingviews! And the outside "rumbling" heavy sound is superbly convincing. I have only flown at night but I can see you've covered the plane well in night mode. Have yet to see the daylight look and the rest of the animations. The virtual cockpit views of the FMC and FO side were superb. Thanks for the nice discount as the eCommerce shop still remembered I bought the older 747 in 2005! Will look forward to the NG2.0 and MD-11Congratulations PMDG!FrankC, LA

Absolutely fantastic news, PMDG! This is something many of us have been waiting for a long time. But to think I found out about the release while at work! How am I going to wait for 8 hrs. until I get the chance to purchase and fly this wonderful plane? Oh, well, not much to do about that. Congratulations to all of you at PMDG! ;-)
