What to get

Postby matt2190 » Wed Dec 20, 2006 6:26 pm

I have been looking at buying a 737 for FS2004. I am going to buy either the PMDG 737 or the Feelthere/Wilcopub 737. I like the panel for the wilco 737, but the model of the PMDG looks much better. Any info you can give me on either one would be appreciated.

PS. I am not getting FSX so dont start comparing which will be compatable. Also this is probably my last payware purchase so I cannot get both.

PMDG models the 737-600/700(WL)/800(WL)/900...WilcoPub on the other hand models the 737-300/400/500...All are completely different models...but as you said, the PMDG ones look much better...I'd suggest you go for the PMDG ones...They are all very good in terms of the flight models and in terms of performance as well... ;)

Or just wait until FSX, the 737 included is pretty good. ;)

You can read the reviews. I always find them helpful.

I would personally get the PMDG. I think it has a better panel, VC, and exterior model.

dont have the feelthere one.....but i have PMDG 738/9 and love it.....if you have the time to learn the systems it can be very worthwhile and rewarding and they come with lots of eye candy :)

PMDG's all the way, I have now counted myself having flown the PMDG 737 for a whopping 856 hours! :o
