August 26, 20223 yr It's interesting to me that there is not a single thread on the front page of this forum (might depend on your thread/page I guess) about the 800. The "800 is out" thread is on page 2; but isn't hot. 12 pages. Bah, shorty. But not a single thread about how fab the new 800 is. This, after we saw a bunch of posts not long ago asking the Mods to put the Fenix threads into a separate sub-forum, since the front page was "overwhelmed" with Fenix stuff. I don't like the PMDG pricing strategy here. It was always, obviously, an attempt to say "buy the 7/600 now, and the 800 later". Is the lack of content here indicative of a failure of that model? Honestly, I don't know. I hope so. I haven't bought any of 'em, yet, and am hoping PMDG will eventually see sense and do a multi-model deal. But it does seem interesting, and certainly it is a different state of affairs compared to a lot of the other top-flight releases we've seen. Equally it might just be that all the comments have already been made about the 6/700s. But I do wonder. Edited August 26, 20223 yr by Paul_Yorks Paul Skol

August 26, 20223 yr i bought the 600 but after so many years/sims of flying boeings, especially the pmdg(why can't they make something else) i'm bored of more boerings 737's🙂👍 GA/VFR in msfs is amazing so i'm not buying any more boerings or airbuses👌
August 26, 20223 yr Well I'm not talking about it because I haven't bought it. I bought the 700, but that's it for me. I'm not playing that pricing game. But I'll post and give your thread a bump! 😁 [email protected] - ROG Strix Z790-E - 2X16Gb G.Skill Trident DDR5 6400 CL32 - MSI RTX 4090 Suprim X - WD SN850X 2 TB M.2 - XPG S70 Blade 2 TB M.2 - MSI A1000G PCIE5 1000 W 80+ Gold PSU - Liam Li 011 Dynamic Razer case - 58" Panasonic TC-58AX800U 4K - Pico 4 VR HMD - WinWing HOTAS Orion2 MAX - ProFlight Pedals - TrackIR 5 - W11 Pro (Passmark:12574, CPU:63110-Single:4785, GPU:50688)
August 26, 20223 yr Great, just what we need: Another thread were people pointlessly whine about the pricing model. As if the other one isn't littered with that already.
August 26, 20223 yr They are taking their posts to the appropriate forums which is the PMDG forums. Fenix don't have forums they have a discord that is ridiculous sometimes and the fact I can't visit their discord is because I refuse to give my Cell phone #, that's why more people post here about Fenix my guess.

August 26, 20223 yr PMDG has a dedicated forum for users, Fenix does not.
