PMDG 737 NGX Pricing & Steam Edition


DrawyahGames

Recommended Posts

This has definitely been talked about in the past, but I'd like to see how it is now.

 

One thing I've wanted for a little while now is the PMDG 737 NGX. The only thing stopping me at the moment however is the price - As a full-time college student, I just cannot afford it! I'm against piracy of any form, so that's also out.

 

Has there ever been a sale on the aircraft ever? Or have PMDG and Aerosoft when they re-publish it kept the price the same ever since day 1?

 

Another option I have is getting the CD/DVD option, but that will just create mass compatibility issues for Steam Edition since it is not supported, so not really worth the risk.

 

So what are the chances of ever finding a sale on this aircraft, or am I just playing the waiting game until I will be able to afford it?

AFAIK, It never been on sale. If you want it, just collect the money then buy it any time when you are ready. It is worth every pennies. Aerosoft website sell it with a bit cheaper price. But if you have the problem with the installation, etc., you must go back to Aerosoft. When the new update is launched, you must wait for Aerosoft to release the update. You cannot go directly to PMDG to submit any tickets or getting any update.

Have you tried contacting Aerosoft directly? Pretty sure the boxed edition supports Steam too. A quick Google search found the links below mentioning FSX Steam support.

As for the price, saving will be your best route.

I see a lot said about the PMDG 737. What makes it so much better than the default or other 737s? Can someone provide a quick answer or point me to a thread that answers it?

 

No trying to change this topic. I'm interested in hearing an answer to the question above as well.

 

To many, the PMDG 737 NGX is the most advanced Boeing 737 on the market. Every function/switch works, FMC functional, very high quality model and textures, it's probably as realistic to the real aircraft as you can get. The default 737 does it's job, but 10 years on it hasn't stood the test of time with a very poor looking Virtual Cockpit, exterior model is the wrong shape in some parts (model limitations at the time) and overall it's very, very simple when compared to the NGX. If you enjoy the default however, then stick with that and install the Advanced Cockpit mod which slightly upgrades it.

Eh, it very rarely updates so support won't be an issue. If the disc claims to be Steam supported, I guess I'll go for it!

Decided to go for it, hopefully arrives before the weekend! :D

Just remember, it's not a "control+E" starter plane. Read all the documentation, watch YouTube videos until your eyes bleed, and read some more. It's as close to flying the real thing without going to flight school...

 

Good luck!

Yeah, I do know this, [Ctrl] + [E] resets the engines. The 737 Startup is not too hard to do, most of my learning will probably be in the FMC, setting that up, but I have been watching tutorials and will do until it arrives. :)

It has a shortcut in FMC to start the engines as well. Haha[emoji12]
