  • Slowly, slowly, prices rise again to P3D level. Why do we customers support this? (think about a 60$ Fenix back then)

    I read "subscription" and almost spit all my food out.   EDIT: On the other hand, $120 for all variants and freighter sounds good.

    Subscribing to a plane and then getting hit with a full $120 price tag to own it is just dumb for everyone involved. Not only is it a bad deal for the user, it also means the devs are shooting th

That day time cockpit image ..that has to be a photo right? The depth and dimension of the ADI is unreal.

I'l gladly pay $5 for 30 days worth of testing in ANY sim based aircraft that I'm interested in trying before buying.

I much prefer to do that than to spend alot more upfront with no refund policy and get burned much of the time.

Yep, I really kinda like this idea.

I have 4 questions:

Who are these developers?

What have they developed in the past?

Who had the "brilliant" idea (not really) pricing model?

Why not sell the different models separately  like any other developer out there with common sense as not every one needs all them if they were even interested in this product. $120 is a lot to ask for many folks and a 737 classic is already a niche product to begin with.

I think more than enough people have commented on the pros and cons on the pricing model. It genuinely isn't nearly as bad as some people are making it out to be. I already made a comment on the price $120, it being niche doesn't really matter if it's fidelity is up there with the greats (something CSS will need to prove)

Exterior shots are still W.I.P. Theres loads more interior pics but I didn't want to bombard.

I think this has real potential but like some others have mentioned in this thread, it's hard to know just from some images, especially from a new developer. I understand also why they are releasing first in MSFS2020 but I personally have made the shift to 2024 so it's a bit underwhelming for me when I hear about new releases going "first to 2020" because that means basically nowhere near 2024 release.

I agree. We don't know this developer while some developer like inbuilds, fenix, just flight transitioned their 2020 product to 2024 fairly quickly some doing it at much slower pace (PMDG, Ifly and etc)

Whatever. I do go-to-market pricing for a living and this is easily the best pricing model I've ever seen for an MSFS addon. The only thing I'd add is lease-to-own if you pay the $5/30 model, it should go towards the total cost of the addon. 

There's something for everyone in the pricing model. Most of the people who have objections don't seem to "get it."

Captains, CSS here! 

Thank you for your patience and for waiting so long! 

Today I will keep it short: the CSS 737-500 release window is 16.05. - 18.05.2025.

Expect more details over the coming week!

I imagine they'll start handing out keys to streamers so we can see what they've been cooking. A lot is riding on their first impressions as an unknown dev into this community. Exciting times for us classic lovers.

Well, it sounds like they're aiming to be the A2A Sims of airliners.

If that's the fidelity level they end up delivering, then I'll be interested.

If it's at the same level as PMDG, then I'll stick with the known-good developers who offer add-ons with a more digestible pricing structure.

The truly great thing is they're putting their money where their mouths are. I'll definitely give the $5 rental a shot once the better reviewers have weighed in (i.e., waiting til those far better qualified than I)

Never really got that impression, where did you?

It's a 737 classic, there's no other developer doing that. pricing structure won't please everyone as we've seen with PMDG's 777 lineup. Is what it is, but I appreciate being able to try it out for $5 since no one in this community does refunds.

Oh a 100%, they got a lot to make a first impression. Though the question is, which streamer is going to realistically test that, rather than just "flying" it. I guess we could always wait until its in our hands
