Don't blame them since their competition just dropped a little more competition. Love their version of the 750 since many planes have that capability.

Still a lifetime member!

Whose the competition?  Thank you!

I purchased the PMS50 (sale price) one year license.

This will give me the opportunity to later check out the next new version of MSFS 2024 and the products reported to:
Be ported and work with it as a free upgrade.
Be ported and will require an Upgrade cost.
Be a new product and require a full purchase price.
Be available as a subscription or one time purchase. 


Notes:
It may turn out that I just use MSFS 2024 as a default product for the first year or so.
I had been using the PMS50 free version on the FSW Cessna 414AW Chancellor and the HPG H135/H145 and liked it a lot.
For P3D4 and P3D5 I use RealityXP GTN750 v2 / RealityXP GNS 530W v2 / Garmin Trainer as needed (configured) with the FSW Cessna 441 and the FSW Learjet 35A.

TDS uses the Garmin trainer and recently offered navigraph data and charts support.  The two are a little different though.  You'll have to read up on their web sites.

How much is the regular price for a lifetime license?  is 50.00C the discounted sale price?

Given that MSFS will be upgraded to the next version, MSFS 2024, it seems to me that purchasing a 1-year PMS license and later upgrading to lifetime is what makes sense to purchase. It assumes that the upgrade to the lifetime version for MSFS 2024 will cost only 30.00€. Is this the reason why you purchase a one year license? Thank you.

Edit: I did some additional checking. Purchasing is convoluted. It's Saturday my time, and the free test version is only available on Thursdays. It doesn't make sense. 😞

I did read about TDS.

The PMS50 has Crossfill and other options that I want to check out.

It's true TDS does not YET crossfill and PMS does.  The PMS also has other features that simmers may like, but most are not realistic to the GTN.

If someone was used to the trainer based solutions from RXP in FSX/XP/P3D, they would be very interested in the TDS GTNxi.

Eh!? Are quite sure about that?

Should be glad that there is a test available, most devs don't do that. There is also the free version that's not time limited.

I actually regretted buying RXP instead of Flight1 in FSX/P3D.  A lot of planes in FSX/P3D provided built-in support for Flight1 but not RXP eg. Just Flight's Turbo Arrows and Carenado aircraft.

Yes, the free version is not time limited but looking at the website comparison page, there's lots of features missing in the free version.

I think I'd rather have extra features. For me, reality in avionics is over-rated. Sometimes we just want-ease-of-use in entertainment. For example, IMHO real and live music can't compete with a good audio equipment in the convenience of a quiet room. 

I have both and used the PMS version since it's infancy. Always advocated for it and glad I did. Really wanted it for Navigraph and getting rid of those awful dials in the sim. Nobody likes those unless you have a physical device haha. Same with the 430/530...cant stand them in a sim for that reason. Too cumbersome.

Fast forward to now and after owning the PMS lifetime version and using them in several planes...

I can only say I like having both options.
