I took delivery of my 777-200LR yesterday on a flight from KPAE to KTPA. With reasonable settings, I achieved no less than 23fps with all of the FTX-Orbx bells and whistles along with Active Sky Next. I had the OME bell going off approaching Tampa due to my photo-real scenery of the area, but again never dropped below 23fps. Was able to taxi to where I wanted to park and power her down without an OME.
I know that everyone has a different flight simulator budget, expectations and requirements for product complexity and quality. PMDG has delivered exactly what they had promised. A realistic high quality simulation of the Boeing 777 aircraft on a flight simulator platform that is most likely the future of desk top flight simulation.
I appreciate Rob's clarification about pricing. He has proven that he is always willing to keep the community informed. I do not feel that Rob needs to offer justification about PMDG pricing. If PMDG finds that the demand for their products does not correspond with anticipated profits, I am sure that they will adjust their pricing structure accordingly.
This is my first time posting on this forum. Stopping short of a rant, I would rather PMDG spend their time continuing to develop amazing products for the future platform of flight simulation than justifying wanting to be compensated fairly in a capitalistic market place.
I look forward to PMDG continuing to develop high quality product and am happy to add to their future success and profits.
