New Convert to PMDG :)

Featured Replies

Hi,I am a new convert to PMDG and I now wonder why it took so many years to do it.After diving in at Xmas and getting the JetStream 4100, I was so impressed, I ended up ordering the boxed 747-400X two days later.Already an owner of the Level-D 767, I had a benchmark to compare PMDG to. It seems, just not with the aircraft, but the support and official feedback, etc. has already put PMDG at the top of my list.So thanks to the guys at PMDG for some quality payware. Now I understand why products like yours cost more then many competitors, but they are clearly worth every penny. I see a long term fun experience with excellent return on the investment.I am already hankering after the MD-11 X but the 737 NGX does have it's attractions. Imagine I will not post much here as I am not a hard-core simmer, but I will be reading through the posts and trying to keep up to date on things.Regards

Simply put, the 737NGX will blow you away. Finest plane I've ever owned. BTW, nice hardware!!Oh, and welcome to the forum.

I would go for the MD11. Almost everybody on this forum might likely recommend the 737 but if you really want something different the Md11 should be your choice. Not as shiny but still excellent. :(

I understand that the 737NGX requires a powerful setup to run maxed out, but is it a resource hog compared to the MD-11 X, such to the point that will affect performance a lot, considering my hardware?

With your hardware, you're going to run the NGX and MD-11 just fine.

I have both the MD11 and the 737 and I can't decide which is better. My suggestion: get both!

Ships are cooler that you think.

Anyway the NGX is the ultimate add-on
Yeah, I´m flying it for several day now and I still disceover new things in it! Truly the best one I´ve ever bought! :smile:The only bad thing about the NGX is that if you get used to that standard, you can hardly fly any other addon. Everything else looks so poor against the NGX.

Best regards, Steffen
