Don't worry, they'll refund you the difference. 👍

Sure. And God didn't make the little green apples and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time.

B.O.R.I.N.G. now where's my MD-11F for P3D 🙂

BTW %22 doesn't even cover the exchange rate 1 US Dollar = 1.3202 Canadian Dollars on 8/2/2019. It would still be $132 Cdn for the 747 😞

April 1st ? No, August 8th 😀 !

Is the key figure 22 (like in 22nd birthday) or is it 20 (like in FS20) ?. My intuition is that the MS announcement has here a first visible effect on the market. Do they try to revigorate declining sales (pessimistic view) or need more cash to adapt their products (optimistic view) ? Or both...

if I am right, the Labor day then the Black Friday sales might be interesting to follow.

Instead of a conspiracy theory on PMDG Sales / FS2020, how about PMDG is simply celebrating the last step in the big move to the new service, forums, site, etc. They have been working this for some time and a nice gesture to the community was having a sale to celebrate a major milestone for the company.

Birthday or not, they didn't have to do this.

Say "Thank You."

Your complaining about the exchange rate which is PMDG's problem how? I bet if they released a MD-11 at the going 777/747 pricing you wound't complain about the US/CDN exchange rate. For others the 22% is a considerable discount.

FS2020 stands for Fire Sale 2020. I just don't think that it's a coincidence that lots of them are having a sales before MSFS, potential clients like myself are in a waiting position to see what's supported or not so hence the sales.

Of course I'm not complaining bout PMDG it's worth it without the sale, I blame the exchange rate is the punishing for me, from my view it's like a tariff where I have to pay an extra 32% to get the same product.

Unfortunately we don't have a crystal ball that will tell us what the future brings. There is no telling if current products can simply be converted via the SDK or if they will require a total rebuild. I rather enjoy today than guess what tomorrow might or might not bring. The sales just make it easier for me to enjoy the product today. Either way we know it will take some time to bring 3rd party addons up to current levels. Look how long it took developers to bring addons up to 64bit when v4 came out. We're still missing a lot of addons that are still 32bit.

Conspiracy ? Such a cliché 😀 ! That there is any conspiracy in my post is beyond me. Just an clinical observation that a company which never does sales does one now at a moment when the market is rocked by a major announcement and the conclusion one may draw from this.

I am sorry I don’t belong to the pompom brigade. 

PS I have a lot of respect for what Randazzo has done over the years and there is nothing derogatory in what I said

Odd indeed. No 20yr sale but a 22 yr sale. 🙂 Nice gesture.

Robert Randazzo just announced that with the opening of their new store, and since it’s their 22nd birthday, they’re having a once in a lifetime sale!  Guess they want to stress test their new servers.

And I think I’m going to be adding a 777 to my fleet.  😎

Darn, and just when I made the decision to downsize my hanger.  I have the iFly 737 and no interest in the others, but I do wish them a ton of sales.

My comment was based on your statement "MS announcement has here a first visible effect on the market. Do they try to revigorate declining sales (pessimistic view) or need more cash to adapt their products (optimistic view) ?" but then again I may have misunderstood what you're trying to say because of the way it is written. I have no clue what a pompom brigade so I take it is a jab of some type. Again no one knows what the intention was but you know what, it was a nice gesture by them.

I'm waiting tor PMDG to release  a model of Robert Randazzo's actual C-47.
