The FS9 version is very good indeed... well worth it.

Performance-wise, its around that of the PMDG 747.

Will be interesting how it compares to the PMDG 737 for FSX, as they have already intonated that it will require a very good PC.

Hmmmm...

Doesn't look good:

Here's a quote:

This is such a magnificent piece of art! Hand flying this baby is absolutely marvelous! I'm not a real pilot, but I can feel the difference between addons...

".....One downside though: VC FPS performance. Even on my monster-machine, if it can be called that, I get dips as low as 20fps at Heathrow. :(

2D is working very well, complex as it is.

Specs:

FS-Hardware: Thermaltake Armor Tower, Asus P8P67 Pro, Intel Core i7-2600K @ 5Ghz, 8GB Corsair 1866 CL9 (CMX8GX3M2A2000C9), Zotac GTX580 1536MB, 2x 500GB & 1x 1TB Seagate 7200rpm HDD, 1x WD Velociraptor 150GB for FS9, Plextor PX-880SA, 2 Soundcards.............

..."

Ouch !!!!!!!

Wasn't interested in the PMDG 737X - my system can just about run FSX Accel with Dave Gardwoods Hunter packs (review in progress!)

But it's good to hear there's going to be a boxed version! Hopefuuly with a nice, big printed manual
