Hey, i've never actually purchased a payware aircraft before, but recently i have seen many shots of the PMDG 737-600/700 and it looks.. increddible.

Anyway, im seriously considering buying this plane and just wanted your opinions - is it really worth the $40?

Well...first off what type of sytem do you have..if it isn't to good I wouldn't recommend it...although if it is a good computer...then go for it you have to read mauals and everythign but once you learn it you will be happy....

well my system is:

P4 2ghz
512 ram
radeon 9600 with latest omega drivers

And i've applied all sorts of frame-rate boosters for the sim, which increasess my framrate by alot, and with the meljet 777, it averages about 18-20 around BUSY airports/high density citys like NY, and in the air it usually goes up to 30 (where its locked at)

As for the upgrade, i know this may be surprising but i prefer the short + stubby 600/700 version of the 737, are there any major cockpit upgrades? thats mainly what im interested in, as the default 737... leaves alot to be desired in way of simulating a real flight..

thanks, rich.

heh, thanks, definately going to look into buying this upgrade.

I've read lots of posts about 'stuttering' etc., will my machine cope with this bird? (specs above)

Thanks for the quick reply!

I think i will purchase this beautiful bird, from what i've read about it, it seems the most detailed plane i've seen. If i do get bad performance, then ill simply have to upgrade the pc itself, i was thinking of adding more ram (atleast another 512) anyway.

Hey Donatrix!
Wait until you fly this. I don't even bother with all the other ones anymore!

That's funny. I purchases the other aircraft, the 737-900 last night because I can't get enough of this bird and have not received the link either and it has been over 12 hours!  ???

The best part about the updates with the 800/900 is that it seemlessly integrated the updates to the 600/700 as well! 

I am one satisfied customer!  That plane has given me hours upon hours of enjoyment.  Money well spent.

The 800/900/update is $27.95.  Of course, you must have the 600/700 which is $39.95 therefore total damage is roughly $70.  It's a bit steep, but if you are like me, and the only plane you fly in the sim is the PMDG 737, it's well worth it.  Seriously, there is so much put into this aircaft that it turns FS9 into a whole new game/experience.

Yeah I'm not either, BUT...like I said before the 800/900 brings with it some incredible updates/upgrades that are also automatically integrated into the 600/700 you already have.  That alone makes the package somewhat worth it.  Not only that, it is nice to have somewhat of a variety.  New aircraft, airlines, features etc.  Keeps it somewhat interesting and allows you to mix it up with a slightly different aircraft but with all the same great features across the board.
