Do you mean the 2019-20 promotion discount/credit ($99)? 

Or is there a discount for MSFS 737-700 owners?

He probably used the credit already for the -700, so the -800 got what was left of it.

Ok yes -- probably what's left of his credit.

I just purchased it. $39.99 after discount. 

Me too. I was thinking about holding out, but PMDG has done such a nice job and the performance has been so good, I'm comfortable giving them some cash.

I've got all of my SWA flights in and out of Baltimore covered now.

Same, bought my P3D version when they offered the future credit and now additionally have the -700 for free and -800 for $39.99 in MSFS... 

Certainly no complaints here!!  How dare PMDG treat their loyal customers like this 😉

They're waiting for everyone in EU to be asleep to ease the servers lol.

They usually do business at the end of the day around 5-6pm West Coast U.S. time which is 8-9 hours later than it is in EU.

Still on the SU9, is the weather radar integrated?

No, why would you ask. SU10 is not released and it is not to be expected to be there on release.

I was talking about the beta. I was just wondering out of curiosity.

PMDG (nor any other 3pty dev) are not testing weather radar in  SU10 beta from what I understand it will come much later after the release which SU10 has no timeline to be released.

2 LOL moments for me today.

First...for those who ask beta testers for release dates/times in private chats (you know who you are)....today is proof that the beta team is sometimes just as much in the dark as the general public. 🤣

As has been tradition since I joined the PMDG beta team, I've had many liveries pre-staged on flightsim.to, waiting for the release announcement and then I just un-hide them.  Well....today's release caught me completely off guard.  I had the paints done (6 of them), but had not pre-staged them at flightsim.to yet.

So....now that the -800 is out...I try to upload them all and I get this....my 2d LOL of the day

So I got TUI, Transvia and Sunwing uploaded...and was just getting this beauty ready when I got that message above.   So you guys are going to have to wait for the rest of them sometime tomorrow, hehe.

Yes...she is very clean and I painted her that way specifically by request by a friend on the beta team.  He wanted me to paint her in her glory days (she is NOT looking good today)....and I think she is the prettiest tail in the fleet.  As chance would have it, my friend (who's also a real NOR 737 pilot) was actually flying Sonja as I was painting her, and gave me a lot of great pics to reference, so this paint is pretty accurate (according to him, and who better would know?)

I also am doing interiors now, so when the day comes when the PMDG 737s will feature an opening cockpit door and linked cabin to the cockpit VC, you guys can mosey back in the back on my planes, grab a window seat, and check out the airline-specific in-flight magazine, and the safety card. 🙂

The seats are also pretty accurate but I had to fudge a little because of some tech limitations, but I think they are good enough.

 

 

And the monitors are not 100% either, but on some paints I got it pretty close.

I've also done the galley carts on all my paints (here is Transavia)

All things considered guys....I think some folks are going to complain about something with every release, and I'll just say that a lot of work went into this entire project, and the work is not done as you guys know she is constantly being updated.  I hope you guys enjoy her.
