Randazzo from PMDG gives hints on price of PMDG 737 for MSFS

[Alaska738 8,420]

No matter the price i'll pay dearly for this 737.

[Waldo Pepper 1,953]

The smart move is to grab as much market share as you can, as soon as you can.   Price point is the way to do it.

[Elvensmith 165]

$60 or around GBP£40 probably the top limit for me. If it went for $50 or GBP£30 it will be in the cart on Day 1.

The reason I think it will be lower than we’re used to (and maybe even cheaper than the DC-6) is that the pricing  model as I understand it has shifted from selling a higher price base pack followed by lower priced addon packs to selling each variant separately and independently and I think for a similar/same price.  

[Bernard Ducret 790]

I really like these threads about prices which have yet to be revealed, many posters would be interesting negotiators!... This is an excellent "fishing" expedition for developers in case they have not firmed up their decision: Let's be as vague as we can and see the reactions, our clients will guide us!

Who said 99.99$? Any takers? 

[starstream707 70]

Really doesn't matter the price, once released will be red meat to all of us awaiting a top notch airplane the last one and a half years. I do love and have the DC-6, but gotta have some jets on those wings or tail mounted /cough - maddog/.

Fair enough...did Mr R post this somewhere? That is quite a positive sign..

Hi, I have posted the link to Randazzo's statement on this in an interview in this post here: 

And in that post, I also linked a comment about Aerosoft's sales of the CRJ on MSFS, which was also very strong for Aerosoft.

Personally I will only buy if its under £50 so about $80. I know this is high fidelity and stuff but I don't want to pay that much just for a plane since I dont fly too often.

At this point I’m over “tubeliners” altogether. I’m going to cash out my investment from the last PMDG purchase  ($100) and no more.

One variant will do and I’m in no rush, so I’ll wait until they’re all done releasing and bug fixing before choosing the one variant I decide on, or two depending on pricing, but I’m done with airliners.

If the pricing model is such that it won’t allow me to this, well I guess then it’s a case of “fool me once” and I’ll be done with PMDG and let it reflect on PMDG as it will.

I’m much more interested in “higher fidelity” GA aircraft, so looking forward to A2A releases and /or whichever developer steps up in this regard, rather than anything from PMDG.

MSFS is too nice looking to be watching from 30,000 ft., plus in keeping with “As Real as It Gets” if it can’t piloted by a single pilot in the real world then I don’t care to fly it. Hence, no DC-6 for me at the moment.

I don't know if you have read this already, but last November, A2A said “all major road-blocks are cleared” for MSFS and that A2A "can properly plan for MSFS development": https://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=72920&start=150#p555669 (also FSElite did an article about A2A's comments at https://fselite.net/content/a2a-simulations-now-full-steam-ahead-on-msfs-development/).

Nice! I had not heard, thanks for the heads up!

I also read, or heard, him say that. I can't remember his exact words, but it was that MSFS DC-6 had outsold all the other sim's versions put together, and in just a day or two of it being released. Agreed - a very positive sign, and I hope their success continues.

[bigifooti 156]

Is the -700 the base model?

Or can you indepently also buy the -800 and -900?
