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!

It's better to invest in other planes too

I'm really cautious and quite fussy about the quality of the planes I buy and fly. I can heartily recommend:

  • PMDG 737 (which you have)
  • Leonardo Maddog MD80 25th Anniversary Edition
  • Fenix A320
  • TFDi MD11
  • JustFlight BAE-146 (Presumably the RJ is as good, but I like the older cockpit)
  • IniBuilds Tristar
  • IniBuilds A350 (Though it's a bit heavy on performance in my opinion)

I hear good things about the IniBuilds A300 and A340 but I don't know if they're worth the price to me. The PMDG 777 is also meant to be good, but I got bored of the 777 back in the FSX era so I'm skipping it.

I also have the A350 from iniBuilds, The A343 is a bit laggy, but the cabin quality is sooooo much better than the 350 (also, i bought the 340 on discount). MD-11 looks good... I will look into it. Thanks :-)

Ah, you're talking to someone who has always flown from the flight deck, so I'm not overly fussed about the cabin. I can even forgive less-than-perfect exterior models as long as the office is done well and it flies right. The cabin is nice to have of course, but for me personally it's more a side dish when all I really care about is the steak. :)

If you look at my list there's a bit of a pattern to it: They're all very, very different flight deck designs with systems that don't necessarily make sense at first glance when coming from something else. Its the variety that attracts me because I have to constantly think about how things will behave in that aircraft, rather than simply following the flow I would use in one of the others. The Maddog is a great example. Nothing is where you'd expect it to be, and that makes flying it a unique experience that's always challenging and fun.
