Hey, when did I ever say they should give it away for free? Anyways, the developers of Flight Simulator spent alot of time to bring us a great game that allows you to at least get the chance to practice aviation in your own home. Your lucky the price of the game isn't skyrocketing.

Anyway, why is alexander talking about Iceland. I LIVE IN AUSTRALIA. I BUY WITH AUSTRALIAN MONEY. Our dollar is going way down now anyway.

Oh, and by the way, I'm 13. Still youngest.

I'm talking about Iceland because THEY deserve sympathy, since you're whining about 83$ (100 AUD I would believe), yet for them it would be 10,000$ right now.


Oh, and by the way, I'm also 13.

Wait a bit for PMDG to get back to you, they will.  I was charged twice when I bought the 747 and it took 2 weeks but it was corrected.  PMDG planes are so far ahead of anything out there, they should be double what they are charging.  You will not find planes closer to a real simulation than PMDG.  Think about it this way, if you use it once a week for the next 2 years it works out to be less than a dollar per flight.  Each flight is different too.  Its worth every penny!  Todd

Ok...hopefully everyone can relax a little bit. This is obviously a controversial issue, but I'm sure the last thing we need is for people to start getting even more snippy with each other. We just need to have a civil conversation about the issues at hand. Age should not even be an issue here. I have seen plenty of young people with A LOT more maturity than many older folks in my experiences, and of course you can have the opposite situation as well. Everyone's input is valuable, as long as it is constructive to the discussion.
So...drop the age comparisons, they mean (or should mean) nothing.

AussyPilot, I understand that you're frustrated with your purchase circumstance. I would be too if I was charged for the wrong thing, and I believe that you have every right in the world to ask about their pricing policies. I don't think your a pirate, or have any intention of coming across as one. The main issue I think people have here is the attitude that you originally came across with, which I think was purely out of frustration. While I can't speak for everyone here, I'll just say that I don't think people are trying to accuse you of anything negative.

I think this note goes for everybody, me included: Mind your attitude.
It's quite simple, but it's something that EVERYONE can slip up on from time to time.

I am interested in continuing the discussion of payware pricing policies, as long as it remains civil. I personally find this to be a very interesting topic, and hopefully those with more experience in economics can continue to chime in with their reasoning as to why prices are the way they are.
I am also very interested to hear a response from Nitropower in regard to his actions, which in turn will probably lead to a discussion on copyright infringement, which I believe would also be beneficial for many to witness, as long as the discussion remains respectful to others...unless someone acts blatantly stupid, again.

I don't have a background in economics, so I shouldn't really chime in a lot with my theories on PMDG's pricing beliefs, and I definitely cannot speak for them, but I hope to continue to contribute to this important discussion with the knowledge that I do have.


Thank you,

Ok, thanks.

All I was doing at the beginning was saying that I just think its silly to pay that much. All I'm trying to say is That I won't buy them. You can go buy them. Go ahead. Spend all your money. All I'm saying is that I won't.

Oh and your right, why the hell are we fighting about our ages. I feel stupid for bringing it up.

Ok, when I said "spend all your money", I didn't mean you have no money or you spennd too much money on addons, it was sort of a metaphor, in a way, I think. . I wasn't ever trying to annoy anyone even if I did, so I'm sorry. I just think you guys over-reacted to a post that wasn't meant to be that serious. If I bugged anyone I'm sorry.
