November 26, 20187 yr My budget is spent but I find it interesting that TFDi on the 717 has a sale and great one at that but not and never PMDG!

November 30, 20187 yr With all due respect, this kind of super-short cutesy “flash sale” is probably mostly a wasted opportunity. They’d have gotten at least three more sales by doing it normally (eg at least a few days) and probably significantly more. James
November 30, 20187 yr Hi Folks, Yep - I'm a sales shopper - no doubt - I waited very patiently until I could get the Majestic Dash 8 Pro on sale for under my acceptable limit - which is $50.00 or so - unless the desired aircraft gets within the range of this price point - I won't be buying it...

November 30, 20187 yr Add me to the roster of people with the 717 on their "must buy when on sale" list only to find the sale is over as soon as I find it was even started 😞 Russell Gough SE London
November 30, 20187 yr I fully understand you guys (even though I was lucky to buy it in the sale). Those flash sales are only good to frustrate potential customers. Bad commercial decision. [email protected] ∣ Asus ROG Strix B650E-E ∣ 64Gb@6000MT ∣ NVidia 5090 FE
December 1, 20187 yr I can understand what they did and why, but black Friday to cyber Monday would have been a much more effective promotion. MSFS
December 1, 20187 yr I saw w6kds post with minutes to spare but I agree with everyone who missed it being disappointed with the way the sale was advertised. Edited December 1, 20187 yr by jpf
December 2, 20187 yr I knew about it and could have pulled the trigger but I had already spent my black Friday budget on a Samsung Odyssey+ and a Milwaukee tool box and in reality now that I am back in the cockpit I still have my hands more than full for at least a couple of years as far as study level tubeliners are concerned with the PMDG NGX and 777 (and the Q400). I too have a "buy FS addons on sale only" policy and am willing to spend no more than about $50 on an addon no matter how awesome it is. Hopefully by next Black Friday I'll be ready for another study level Aircraft. Perhaps it will be the TDFi 717 but unless PMDG change their policy on sales I doubt I'll ever see another PMDG in my hanger at the prices they charge. Edited December 2, 20187 yr by Guest
January 11, 20197 yr I missed out on the sale too. I have the Maddog 2008 but was looking for something a bit more user friendly. TFDi appears to be more of a Quality Wings caliber product. Not too difficult on the learning curve, but not so detailed it takes an hour to prepare for pushback. It's not like I have a copilot in the right seat. I have hundreds of aircraft but spend 98% of my time flying my PMDG 738. When I fly the other aircraft, then get back in the PMDG, it's amazing what I miss on the checklist, LOL. Oh well, last thing I need, but I'll wait for the next sale. After 25 years in this hobby you could say it's an addiction. Yep, "old guy" 🙂 Edited January 11, 20197 yr by kar54
