BARGAIN No really, PMDG is having a sale!

[_Gladius_ 24]

Interesting course this topic has taken...

I didn’t have any issues updating my password on the new server.  The 22% discount was automatically applied, and I downloaded my new 777-200 and -300 this morning.  I’m looking forward to giving her a spin when I get a few moments of free time!

I personally don’t see the FS2020 announcement as “rocking” the FlightSim world.  It is just an announcement after all, and the release is still a year away.  Even if it’s so awesome that I kick P3D to the curb, I’ll still enjoy my 777 until then, and feel like I got my money’s worth.

I had issues trying to log in and change my password on my computer last night. When I did it from my iPad it went fine. Probably a cookies issue. I agree about MSFS2020. No one, including PMDG has any idea what the new sim is going to be like or how they'll integrate their products into it. I doubt that this discount is a reaction to that. Maybe it's just an appreciative company thanking its customers without having an ulterior motive. It doesn't happen often in the business world, but it does happen.

I'd rather be able to use my J41 in Steam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  They need to get on this.

Hard to get excited about 22%, even if it is PMDG. 🙂

I never though I'd be typing this but .... the PMDG 737ngx base with the discount is $70.20 which is a better buy than the iFly ngx at $79.95

Wow. I grabbed the 777 and its expansion. I think we broke their website. Haven't gotten a download link or email confirmation yet even though the order shows on my account page (but no download link). Hehe.

I picked up the 747-8 expansion. I've been on the fence about it but since PMDG NEVER does sales I figured I better jump on it.

Only problem is I have already bought everything that PMDG sells and in some cases twice!

Picked up the 747-8 on my high end computer running FSX/SE I’m at 3.93-4.06 VAS usage even with sliders turned down, no addon scenery. I’ll do some tweaking later to try and fix this.

Turn off the co-pilot's displays and specify to use the low-res cockpit. That will help, but the 747 was the plane that convinced me to dump FSX and go P3d. I just couldn't complete an intercontinental flight without getting an OOM crash, usually right as I turned final. No amount of hardware will fix this because of the memory cap that FSX struggles under.

How's the DC-6?  It would be an unusual airplane for me so I'm just curious if it's fun.

[jmdriskell 178]

It's fun but it's a complex airplane and it needs care in feeding and handling to be successful.  Flying it by pilotage via VORs using the A/P is a real treat.

But then again the IFLY was around 50€ just a while ago, which makes it a better buy 😉

[jmdriskell 178]

Only if it were a while ago.

[FPStewy 538]

Sale ends tomorrow and it still can't process the order

Edit: finally got it done. Servers must be loaded.
