My goodness. This is not going to end well 😱

EDIT: is that smoke I smell?

As others have stated, I'm also waiting for the 800 as it's the most popular version. I got the Fenix and that's keeping me busy at the moment. 

I am waiting for the 800.  I may get the one out now if the Fenix product is unflyable on my system (by that I mean 22 fps or less).  I just read over at the Fenix discord that refunds are possible, so I may give a go this weekend.

Waiting to see if PMDG fulfills their early access checklist of things to do in the next few weeks/months and I'll decide on pulling the trigger after that.

I have the Fenix A320 and will not be buying the PMDG B737 until an EFB turns up.  Will buy the Just Flight BAe146 when a fully featured FMC turns up.

I bought the Fenix A320 and Maddog X, as I'm not happy with PMDGs pricing structure of charging near full price for each variant, and the fact they are releasing 700 and 600 first to generate more sales for those who don't wish to wait (and would rather have the 800 if it was possible). 

Maddog X comes at a steep price but I'm sure (and hope) that the MD-83-88 variants once released won't be full price. In P3D it wasn't.

Me too, in FSX I went on the whole journey. The 800 was all I ended up using regularly so I am waiting for that but to be honest I'm loving the FBW320  a lot still. 

 

Nowadays (with family, kids etc) there's no time available to justify buying 5 payware jets. Back in the FSX era it was just me and the sim ! 

Oh we might have someone famous here people haha!  Are you the guy who did the FSX end of an era videos?

Bought the 700. Probably will skip the 800 and get the 900

If not for the credit from buying the P3D 737 NGXu I probably would not have bought the B737-700.  Now that I do have it and enjoying the BBJ more than i thought I would, I'm actually thinking do I really need the 737-800. I still have around $30USD credit from PMDG so I'll see how I go....it's the PMDG B747-400/-8 that I really want to be honest...it's like your first true love...eternal....and the H-Jet has me intrigued for those "let's get a way this weekend" type of flying adventures...

Bought the -700. Will skip the rest until the MAX comes out. If you are into airline schedules , say Southwest, Ryan Air etc then authenticity will require you to have an -800, will require you to wait until its available from PMDG and will require you to be locked into specific airline routes and destinations,albeit, there are plenty of them. But if you enjoy a bit more worldly freedom then the -700 BBJ or the cargo version is available now, gives you virtually the whole planet to explore, (a strong point of the whole MSFS sim) still with credible authenticity and there is nothing significantly different in the two models from a sim perspective. And, it was on sale when I bought it.

I prefer the -800, and WILL buy it when it comes out...but bought the stubby-looking -700 and am loving that in the meantime.

A nice selection of liveries available, and I'm more familiar with the Boeing autopilot logic etc.from my XP11 flying of the Zibo - I just feel at home in the Boeing plane, and my buddy is a First Officer for Southwest on the type and has given me helpful tips!

But I WILL buy the -800....I can't BEAR to be without the Haribo liveries (all 3!), the American Vignelli red/white/blue and Astrojet, etc. 🙂

But I'll not buy the -900.....I fear tailstrikes the way I fly even in the -700!  (until the special liveries are released on flightsim.to at least)

That all said, the Fenix looks interesting as it's the "old" Airbus model.....hmmm....

 

I'm having so much fun in the BAe 146 that I haven't really considered buying anything else right now.  To me, there's something really rewarding about old-school navigating and actually flying the plane instead of managing it.  I hope JustFlight will consider giving the same love to their L-1011 that they've given to the 146.  I'd jump on that in a heartbeat.

I'm all 737'd out with the 700. No desire for another model. 

I was going to wait for the Max. Those never existed in P3D, so large portions of then should be native msfs. I think what is going to happen is the 600, 800, and 900 will come out,  the expiration date on any credits anyone has will expire, and only then will we see the MSFS products in the form on the Max 8s and 9s. No free cheese on the new stuff.

I will skip a PMDG product until the new LNAV is implemented, than probably the 738, 777 and the Max (if they ever come through with it) . Fenix and the Maddog for me now not much time to fly in the sim these days anyhow.

I have -700 and am very disappointed with it. Because PMDG decided to please everyone, or went for the $$$ they have severely handicapped the 737. It barely flies better than the free FBW. It overturns and has to correct, VNAV is spotty at best.

I had high hopes for PMDG in MSFS, but the route they have taken means I will not be purchasing anything further. Thankfully I had the $99 credit, so didn't have to learn this by going out of pocket.
