February 5Feb 5 Author Now also with the usual rhetorical symphony err...rather a fanfare this time 😜: 'Captains, We have just released the PMDG 737-900 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024! The longest of the NG series airplanes, we have included both the 737-900 and the 737-900ER for your flying pleasure. Fans of the airplane will note that the 900 requires a bit more finess to fly well than her smaller 800 sibling, as the added fuselage length adds interesting geometry to the runway/tail interface. This results in higher rotation and touchdown speeds in order to keep the deck angle where it needs to be, and this subtly changes the site picture out the front window during the business portions of your flying. Packed with all of the goodies you have come to expect, the 737-900 will allow you to fill out your fleet and expand your horizons. For our Marketplace customers, we have tagged the airplane as being available for release in the Marketplace portal, along with her suite of liveries. We anticipate, based upon our existing experience with Microsoft that you should have her available to you next week sometime. We will keep you informed with what we hear- but please note that we normally hear from them after the fact- so we might not hear anything before you do! We hope you all have a fun weekend of 900ER flying! Robert S. Randazzo PMDG Simulations' Edited February 5Feb 5 by MaGer1965 'It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.'
February 5Feb 5 Hmmm … will have to get the 900 ER … just enough range with some safety to make it PDX to PHOG. Odd, no discount in the check-out even when I’m logged in … oh well, only $49. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. - Carl Sagan

February 5Feb 5 This is one I’m on the fence about. -800 yes, -700 yes (because WestJet), -600 no, -900 maybe.

February 6Feb 6 20 Bucks? Coffee is still quite expensive in PMDG's world. Maybe they should look at TFDI were a coffee is 5 Bucks...

Was TFDi ever up to the standards of PMDG in general…? IIRC, there’s been much wailing and gnashing of teeth in re TFDi quality until very recently. So, arguably, the TFDi $5 upgrade is more indicative of how much work the addon has needed all along. Everyone’s got a perspective on upgrade pricing, but when it really comes down to it, PMDG seem to be doing fine.
