I don't want the entire series, nor do I want to have to buy one in order to get another.

Went thru that in P3D with PMDG and FSL and all I can say is, good riddance to that unecessarily high priced model.

Good for you.. don't know why it was appropriate for you to quote my comment though...

Ok, 3/3 flights, each one ended in CTD. Shelving this for now.

Anyone got their mini FCU to work with the A319/21 yet? Mine shows up as dead on launch. 

Working fine here

Lol what. You can't buy what you want though. Not everyone wants to buy the BBJ or cargo Variants with a 737-800.....

I bought the -700 because I wanted the BBJ.

And it cost the same as the A320 (which came as only a single pax variant).

If I want the 736, it costs me $35.

If I want the 319, it costs me $103.

It's an open forum.

Just like I could've ignored yours, you can ignore mine.

Have a great day. 🤙

Its an open forum we all know that. but its very discourteous to use people s comments out of context to push your personal agenda and im going to point that out when i see it ...try avoid doing that next time.. should not be very hard to do...

Yes, BUT I could buy just the 319 or just the 321...

That's not how they're being sold, though.

I think $103.90 (£79.99) for the three most common A320ceo family variants is a good deal.

$51.95 (£39.98) for both the A319 and A321 expansion is exceptional value for money.

To put that into context: the most common 737 variants comes up just shy of $190 from PMDG; the Leonardo MD-82 base and MD83/88 expansion is ~$132; the TFDi MD-11 ~$85 (pax, freighter and extended range versions of the same model).

Brussels-Geneva flight in A319 without problem, just the click of the mouse pointer which is out of sync with the different elements of the cockpit.

Had some serious porpoising after rotation on my first departure with the A321. Not sure what that was about.

the 737-600 is a silly example to use its not common for passenger variants anymore let alone airlines that people know. https://www.planespotters.net/aircraft/operators/boeing-737-600

Not everyone wants the 700 especially since most operators own the 800 which is way more common for passenger operations that people want to do with airlines they know. The 320 is most common with passenger operations that people want to do with certain airlines they know same with the 319/21 Hence why they buy the 800/319,20,21  Not everyone wants a 600 especially since hardly anyone uses it no wonder its cheaper, because if it was more expensive it wouldn't sell well if well with the price it currently is. So if you want to go down that route the 319,20,21 most likely sell way more than the 737 put together because only really one variant is the common one, actually a cheaper price in the UK. @F737MAX is spot on you are paying less with Fenix for 2 variants together than you are with PMDG that is only if people want to fly commerical passenger operations.

I like PMDGs pricing tiers better. I buy what I want, and only what I want.

As long as you only buy a single variant and are willing to wait 6+ months, not touching this brand new aircraft, until what you want is released, than yeah, it's interesting.

Outside of this I don't really see any plus for us, for PMDG it's another situation

With the 737,PMDG, the value for money was “better" with the cargo and vip version, but the total is still close to P3D price. The new 777 is way worse value, if you want to get 2-3.

Bought the 320 in 2022 and never flown it as fbw works better with shared cockpit. Now bought the 321 and definitely will fly it a lot. Looks good but could not fly as Navigraph went down today with their ingame panel.

I'm not upset about the overall  pricing, and I agree that, purchased as a package, it's a good deal. 

Still, it's inflexible and only accommodates completionists.

For e.g., Im only interested in the 321 as that's the 'bus I end up riding around in almost exclusively.

It's a bit irritating to have to pay for an A320 when I already have another good one, and to also have to pay for a 319...

It's not a tragedy, but itll keep me from buying it.
