March 15, 20242 yr 1 hour ago, Christopher Low said: A comment on FSElite suggested that one of the versions will be released for a lower price (like the 737-600). That would be very nice if it is true. If I had to wager a guess that would be the -200LR since it's the least used variant in the real world, kinda like the -600.

The engines not as exciting. But that's me For me it's the engine sounds. Same with the 787, 737MAX, A320NEO etc...I'm sure they're all appreciated by people who live near airports in real life for being more quiet, but I prefer my older, intense buzzsaw sound engines in the sim 🙂 Dave Current System (Running at 4k): ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F, Ryzen 7800X3D, RTX 5090, 55" Samsung Q80T, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, EVGA CLC 280mm AIO Cooler, Brunner CLS-E NG Yoke, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS & Stick, Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant & Add-on, VirtualFly Ruddo+, TQ6+ and Yoko+, GoFlight MCP-PRO and EFIS, Skalarki FCU and MCDU

March 15, 20242 yr Haven’t they said to lower the prices? If they will stick to the 737 pricing model it will be still quite expensive…

All four 777 variants (-300ER, -200ER, -F, -200LR) will be separate variants/purchases Price will be inline with 737 variants. Thanks for the summary! Well, all signs point to the fact the 77W would be the first one to be released. And well, the first one to be released is the one that gets the most liveries* (including fictional), or that's what I've seen in the .to. Anyway, since it's also the most flown IRL, I'm sure I'll be purchasing. *Unless PMDG does with the 77L the same thing they did with the 736 and offers it at around half price.

March 15, 20242 yr I love the look of the shorter / stubbier -200 myself. Then again I really like flying the 737-600 as well. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

March 15, 20242 yr Looking really nice for long haul. Pleased the 77W is first too this time as well as gone are the rip off prices from P3D. More reasonable. Hoping for awesome startup sounds.

It has been stated on the first post in the summary of the video that the prices will be similar to the existing of the 737 series, which are around 80 bucks incl taxes.

Speculation 77.73$ discounted to 69.99 like the 737 PMDG knows how to make sales and it will be released before Vatsim CTP in April. Not truth but just my guess.
