Where? Did i say anything that will change the natural course of things? Don't think so.

The game is only a simulator if it has a tubeliner in it? Simulating light aircraft is not simulation?

Can't wait for a proper airliner to put my $50 to good use. This one might be the first, really happy about it, just hope Asobo moves their rears towards SDK development instead of focusing on XBOX.

They can't do both?

No mate, it's just that CTRL-E aircraft don't do anything for me, steam gauge or jets. Who mentioned "tubeliners will turn MSFS into a simulator"? I didn't.

Beats me, sure looks like they can't with PMDG delaying their 737 to 2022 and this 787 only around summer 2021 (and that's if...).

Well I expect price at least $100. 😄

The better not charge that much.

By release maybe we will have better Ground Services.

I totally agree with you, but QW MUST keep the quality and price for The Ultimate 787 Collection which is a Boeing Officially Licensed Product. Right now it cost $79.95 excl. VAT for P3D/FSX.

OK. That was my question. I wanted clarification that it could still be a 'sim' with just GA. Thanks.

Didn’t really see this coming and to be at such a stage of development already.

There’s also the flight factors pro version in development, it looks like 2021 will be a good year for 787 simulation

With this kind of attitude, and as long as folks express their glee at spending $100 with wild abandon [with certain 3PDs] for selected products, the respective vendors will continue to charge $100 & more for those selected products.

Are these products worth it? Sure they are... to those who purchase them. Does a $100 price tag attract additional newer customers & reap increased profits? I suspect less so than might otherwise be garnered with a larger sales volume produced by individuals attracted to, say, a $75 or $80 price point. I would be one such person. I will no longer pay $100+ for an [aircraft] addon, regardless of quality and regardless of whether the addon is designed by PMDG, by Elon Musk or by the reincarnation of William Boeing. However, indeed, the 3PDs should charge what the market will bear.

It would seem to me that, from a 3PD's perspective, euphemistically, a haul of 8 dimes ($0.10 each) is better than a haul of 3 quarters ($0.25 each). There is a lot to be said for a volume versus a net margin approach. But what do I know, I'm simply a "supply and demand" practitioner in a differing industry...

Well, the majority of "ferrari" owners when buying new model know what level of quality MUST be and how much this quality cost. 😃

P.S. I have PMDG 737 and 777 and I will not buy any of them for FS2020. I definitely want to have different airplane and new flight experience.

Edited by OSM

It’s good to see that an ac like the QW 787 is coming to MSFS.

It will be more enhanced than the default 787 and less than the PMDG ac.

So suitable for most people ..

.. not to mention the next new airplane from PMDG is probably a 787.. so potentially three different 787s...
