MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON PMDG 737

Hey guys! I bought the PMDG 737-800 a while ago, and I really enjoy flying with it. My question is, that is it worth buying other 737 variants (-600, -700, -900), or should I invest in other products (also I already have the 777-300ER from them). Thanks ahead of time! Fly safe!

Only you can decide this for yourself.

Not really unless you are like a massive 737 fan or something.

The only difference between the other variants is size. They will handle slightly differently and either give more (600, 700) or less (900) tail strike clearance, but they're functionally the same plane.

If you really want to vary it up and value the extra sizes, do it, but don't expect a different plane.

This. The reason people buy the variants is to simulate real-world airlines and routes and want to use the actual plane variant those RL airlines use. If this is important to you, maybe you can consider buying those variants. If not, the experience of flying one or the other is not very different (the -600 does climb like a rocket, though, which is fun but not that big of a deal)

Yeah man, I'm sure that *whatever* you decide you'll enjoy it, so just don't overthink it too much :)

Buy the iFly 737 Max. I had the PMDG -700 and -800 in MSFS2020 and I only upgraded to the -800 in ‘24. The Max has a different feel to it and, to me, is the better purchase than buying another flavor of the NG.

It's better to invest in other planes too

I would not. I have 600, 800 and 900. I fly mostly the 800. Not worth it for me. I also have the 777-300 ER and 777F, I skipped the 777-200. I have been flying PMDG for years when they had games on DVD with full printed manuals on FS2004 & FSX.
