I am only missing the 900 and 700, but they aren't must gets by any stretch. I am also now thinking about the -900 at that price. I do not need all of the types, but the 737-900ER is as far removed from my -600 as the 737NG series gets, and the cost would be less than £30!

August 7, 20251 yr I’ll likely get the -200LR since this discount will bring it closer to where it should’ve been price-wise.

August 7, 20251 yr So, apparently with the move to OC3, they didn't test installing 3rd party liveries. Doesn't look it works, and they are gone from OC2. I am glad I just kinda held pat on moving to OC3.

So basically, you have the msfs & msfs24 -900 at the regular price, maybe a little bit less than that

I'm very interested at $14 off, but even with a $5 upgrade fee, I am less interested at $9 off. Especially right now, 2020 is on life support with me. RSR also said in his VLOG that the -800 will be the first out the gate. I am still tempted though.

August 7, 20251 yr For those that have it, what are the frame rates like? Comparable to Fenix would be alright for me. Also, are the sounds alright? That's a big part of it for me.

I am glad I just kinda held pat on moving to OC3. When PMDG made the change to OC3 for the T7 series, for some reason, they moved away from their .ptp livery installation to a .zip file format. Several repainters on FS.to have elected to use a "drag and drop" method of installing their third party liveries rather than the new zip file method. I think it's a transition period...it'll work itself out as livery painters become more familiar with the new file structure.

That's a big part of it for me. After a grand total of only 30 mins, I can’t speak definitively. performance was unremarkable, which is exactly how I like it (I don’t have the Fenix to directly compare). Soundscape was also reasonable, at least in cockpit. Everything clicked, clacked, whined, and spooled at the appropriate times. I’ve never been very close to an operating 777F, so i can’t comment on exterior sounds. 33 minutes ago, Christopher Low said: I was expecting the LR to be $35-$40. It is right now 😎
