I'm simply speechless with this pricing structure! Absolutely amazing deal for such an intricate simulation. I love this hobby, oh and of course PMDG!

The price is as I was expecting it to be, very fair. Congrats PMDG. People living in South America, like me, has to deal with a dollar higher than our own currency, in my case, each dollar is about 1.60 reais, but there are countries with much bigger difference around here. So please, don't say it's too cheap, and it could've been twice that price, PMDG magnificent products reach the entire global market, not just USA and Euro based countries.

Great news PMDG team!! Really looking forward to the release. So I'm not confused can somene confirm or/and correct me of the following:Base package:PMDG 737NGX Base Package: $69.99* ETA: On/Before 04AUG11 Contains the 737-800/800WL, 737-900/900WLDoes this include the ETOPS/short field option or will it be available with the PMDG 737NGX ER Package: TBA ETA: 4-8 weeks after 6700 Contains the all 737ER variantsIm just asking so I'm clear of what to expect.... please correct me if I'm wrong. Can't believe its finally coming!!! :( Take care!!!FDX706

Hi RobertI've said it before and I will say it again! Captain my Captain! The PMDG team has done it again! The pricing and the release structure is great. Well done to you all. This is something you all can be proud of for the rest of your lives.Keep up the incredable work.

Noob question :)Base package does obviously include everything hey? (FMC and a? )CheersMarc

Nope. No FMC. No AIRAC. No sounds also. No free liveries. You'll have to buy it separately.

no you have to pay extra for apu, fcm, wings and yoke ...just kidding ... you will get everything you need to fly this plane, even the new features if the new package will getting it too

You could always buy the Ariane 737 one for 120 smackers, or better still, 10 Happy meals @ mackers

The Ariane product is also priced unrealistically IMHO. That's why hardly anyone has it. It just seems like the amount of effort to produce one add-on (from a development perspective) and the price are not in line with other software products. I'm certain that Microsoft Flight, a very complex product that has the potential to soon make FSX obsolete, will cost no where near 100 dollars. That's my point.Scott Cooper

Does base package include short field version?

I wonder what the feasibility would be of also offering a stand-alone 600/700 package? Then people could buy just that pair if they wanted.

I would be happy with this option, but I can't see them doing that. As someone who's only interested in the 700, I feel a little screwed by the current pricing plan.

If I may say this without getting attacked: The way I see it, you are not releasing the 737 series on August 4th. You are releasing half of it. Those of us who are die-hard Southwest fans have to pay the modest 69.99$, wait 4-8 more weeks, and pay another 24.99.$. I had assumed that will all the time it has spent in development, you would be able to release the complete package up front. I guess I was wrong.

I'm in the same boat. It's clear now why they didn't talk about what models they were doing long ago, however if they had, there would be a lot less disappointed simmers right now.Scott Cooper

Okay.... And how many folks are going to buy Flight compared to the NGX? Economy of scale, dude. You're in the wrong hobby.

Great news. I will definitively buy the 600, 700, Base Pack and ER version.Patric

There is a massive crowd of us FS2004 users who won't use FSX just for this plane. Much money your team wont be making. We will really like for you to make a FS2004 version, otherwise your company will go down. IFLY is better than you anyway. I know how immature PMDG is

Funnniest post ever. How old are you? Just curious. And have fun with FS2004

Does base package include short field version?

Short field is optional config you can set via FMS.So the answer is YES!

They cannot take criticizm not even on Facebook. Shoot they deleted my postings yesterday. And to the smart aleck from facebook. This aint PS2 nor PS3 we can run FS2004 and its ridiculous to put Computers and gaming consoles in the same category. PMDG would not be downgrading they will be enlarging their cunsumer base if they are smart. If this post is deleted I know this PMDG has gotten so cocky they will disrespect anyone else who sounds off their right to speak. I will be reposteing this in another thread PMDG has no control over. -Doyle

Wake up boy FS2004 is to old to build a plane like NGX and FS2004 is almost 7 years old! Stop the fs2004 discussion please...

That's an awful lot of negative assumption there for a product you haven't seen. I've never seen the NGX get down to 10FPS and my system is quite similar to yours. I run with an external FPS limiter at 40 and I usually get that unless we're talking about some of the worst possible situations you can throw at FSX. (which will slow it down even with default airplanes)Our EGPWS has basically no performance hit - I'm not sure where you're getting that assumption from, we went to great lengths to optimize how it reads in the terrain data.The Maddog you mention does not have the best looking or performing VC (one of its only flaws honestly, we're huge fans of it otherwise) - you really do need to see what we've accomplished here with this product for yourself before you deem FS9 and 2D panels "maximum reality" I think...

Ryan, can you confirm that the NGX runs smoother than the MD-11?I noticed within Robert's announcement there was no minimum specification required? My FSX MD-11 runs not too bad for me. I also use the FS9 version, how's that for enthusiasm?
