hi to you all.

It is my birthday in a few weeks and my parents said i could have two addons for FS9. I was thinking of the A340 Pro and a 737. There is the PMDG and pilot in command, and i was wondering which one is better. I have the PMDG 747 and am very happy with it. Also is there any good 757 Payware.

Thanks

Lucky you 😀

Re the 737: The PMDG is better. I don't have the PIC but have read negative reports regarding docs, manuals etc. If you're already flying the PMDG 747, you'll be able to handle the737.

Re the 757: I have the CaptainSim 😳 don't waste your money. PSS make one but I've no idea if it's any good. You can check it out and read a few reviews for yourself: http://www.phoenix-simulation.co.uk/

Happy birthday!

I recommend you not the PMDG 737, A340 pro, or a 757.

BEHOLD --------> "Level-D 767-300"!!!!!!!<----------the best!!!

I cannot agree more to GMTK, PMDG all the way. And if your want a 757 I've tried the captain sim but indeed it was a waste of money. Like GMTK said, get the Level-D 767, the big sister of 757. It's a piece of art!

I like the PMDG. I fly 737s in real life and the PMDG is the closest thing out there for MSFS. FMC leaves a lot to be desired but the overhead panel is very close to the real thing.

While I agree that the LDS 767 😎 ROCKS 😎 , the question was which is the better 737. I have been wondering that my self.

good a340 pro is crap. in auto pilot the plane always over does turns and decends and so on. take a while get used to what to click on the auto pilot settings to.
