What about PMDG and classic aircraft

[bob34 124]

 

 

You could just fly routes with it for fun, that's what I do with their civilian mustang.

 

Sometimes I do fly just for fun, but more typically if I see a classic on the schedule for an upcoming airshow somewhere, then I will fly to the air show location from wherever I happen to be ...   Sounds crazy, but that's just the way my preferences evolved over the years.

 

To my point, I would imagine PMDG's sales on classics would be much lower than on a current aircraft. So I don't think we would see an overly complicated model as a filler project nor a mainstream project. They would be cutting it thin on margin after the dev costs. Say a PMDG Concorde vs. a PMDG 787, I believe (and I'm no expert) the 787 would give them a faster return and much higher sales on their efforts.

 

But then again, like 99.9% of us, we have no idea how many man hours, costs, and what criteria they use when making a business case for selecting an aircraft.

The good thing is, they could release Snoopy's Dog House tomorrow, and folks would buy it because they know it was done right.

Beechcraft 1900C/D V2? Or a Beech B99?

Relatively simple aircraft and still in service. I think PMDG could sell them well.
