Did I just hear correctly that the 717 is being released tomorrow? It is on Dirka's twitch stream right now.

Actually now that I think about it I have waited so long for some of these to come out of the hangar that I have lost interest.

YAY !!! My vote was for the TFDi 717 .  We are in 3rd place in the POLL - but FIRST to RELEASE !!! :p0317:

[Alan_A 1,650]

Voted for the Connie and that's a day one purchase for me, but I've been watching the 717 closely and I'm really impressed with what I'm seeing.  May be on board with that one fast if initial reports are good.

Looks exciting but I couldn't get from the web site which sim  it is for. Any one know?

[Greggy_D 936]

The 717 is for FSX, FSX:SE, and P3D.  For $59.99 you get the 717 for ALL platforms.

A heads-up that A2A has posted the Connie manuals online and opened the Connie subforums, which means release is imminent.

 

Between that and the 717, wallet is now standing by for a tough couple of days.

Amen to that!

Just watched some QW 787 videos again and what should I say?

 

I WANT this plane, right now! I love the Dreamliner and the A350...

 

The ANA dreamliner flies over my house every single evening. I can see it from my balcony shortly after takeoff in Munich, you can see the distict light signature from tens of miles away...

I want that thing in my P3D!

[Wanthuyr Filho 83]

A320 for P3D. B-787 would be cool too.

[jcomm 5,939]

Apparently it's something around the $40 mark upgrading from FSX. So in my case and because i selected to pay in dollars with no tax, i bought the FSX version for $89 (i got one of the first ones) which was around 80 euro. If i have to pay 40 more (~35 euro), it's 115 total and i can also use both versions if i want to.

 

In the 777 case, i had to pay 89.99 plus 134.99 (around 220 euro). It's completely unfair paying more than twice for over 90% of the same code. Needless to say i never bought the 777 for P3D. In this case both licenses can also be used obviously.

 

In the Aerosoft case, you pay for lower level simulators ONCE and you can use them anywhere.

 

This is why i will skip the 747 if anything over $99 for P3D. Okay, three engine types, three (three?) different models, but still $100 is a lot of money and i think a fair amount for this kind of addon.

 

Hence, I re-installed FSX:SE, and am about to hit the "buy" button for the FSLabs ... :-)

The Connie is released :-D

Merry christmas!

TFDI 717 was pretty disappointing with all the bugs, but it does seem that TFDI is committed to fixing the bugs in pretty short order... I just hope they make true on that, because the add-on has a lot of potential.

What I really don't like about TFDI is the false advertising they did... at no point was it ever told to the public that it would not be a complete release, no TOC/TOD, and the MCDU is only 75% complete is what they NOW say over in their forums.  IMHO not cool, if they had said that it wasn't complete and offered this at a discount I would feel totally different.
