I purchased the 800 a few months ago and love it. I wouldn't mind having the 600 though. Would be cool to replicate the Janet flights from Vegas to Area 51
I did that in the same scenario, bought it for its sporty performance and classic look. If you can comfortably spend 35 bucks for the not so necessary 600 on top of the 800 for less serious reasons, well i can only tell you that its worth it for the novelty factor alone
Absolutely love the 600!
Your tutorials are the best!
Thanks for a very informative video which should help anyone who may be trying to decide which model to purchase. I purchased the 800 when it first came out and couldn't be happier with it.
That's a lot of useful info packed into less than 10 minutes, well done.
Thanks so much, Mark. for another great video. I actually just ended up purchasing the 737-800 about a week ago, and instead of having your handy 10-minute video, I did the research myself. Funny thing is, I chose the 800 for pretty much the exact reasons you mentioned. But it's an incredible product and I'm loving flying it. I'm looking forward to your future 737 videos!
Thanks Earle! It’s a really high quality product, I’m sure you’ll enjoy learning it.
Shouldve gotten it for free
Thank you! 😊👍🏻
I've been thinking about getting into the 800 for quite some time now so I'm looking forward to your tutes.
Just get all of them for free
@@CADArmyOn SimPlaza? Get ready for some big Bitcoin Mining + a big fine
I’ve been wondering exactly this for a while. Just getting on vatsim with a32nx so I’ve been hesitant to learn the 737. Subbed for your 737 starter videos. Thanks!
That sounds a lot like me, I found it a bit rough learning the Boeing-way after being used to the FBW myself; it’s very different, but a lot of fun once you’re used to it.
You should learn to fly the 737 it’s so fun and I find it more enjoyable then the a32nx but that’s just me
I love the 737-900er , thank you!
Short. Simple. Subbed. ❤
Thank you. Answered a lot of Q for me.
Thank you for the great information.
I have the 600, 800 and 900. Mostly fly the 800 but jump to 600 if I know I'm going to land on shorter runways. PMDG Is my favorite with Boeing and I prefer the instrumentation and experience compared to Airbus.
That's the vidéo i was Looking for !
Worth checking as well is if you consider flying for virtual airlines. Some of them have more routes available in a certain type.
Great point, thanks for sharing!
I only got the 600 and the 700.
I'm good with these, thank you very much.
Nice vid just what I was looking for. I bought the LVFR A318 and was so disappointed with it that (why? Because of lack of documentation and everywhere I looked in the cockpit all I saw was INOP.) I then got the PMGD 600 and holy shLt what a difference. I’m so happy with it I going to get another one probably the 900 after watching you vid.
Thank you for this info gonna buy 800series!
Thank you so much this video helped me so much to make my final decision and pick up the -900, now it’s time to learn how to fly the thing.
Glad I could be of help :) My biggest tip if this is your first airliner is to be patient, it takes awhile to build up those skills, but it's so rewarding when you get it right.
@@FlightSimSchool learnt a lot since I bought the -900 especially from your flight tutorial videos and it’s been the most fun I’ve ever had on the sim, I’m gonna stuck at it and can’t wait to learn more.
Great video, thank you.
looking forward t o this!
Looking forward to them 👍
Thanks Alan!
Thank you🛫✈️🛬
I like the 800
i just got the 700, my dad flies both the 700 and 800 and said that the 700 is a lot more fun, harder to handle and better performance.
I wish I watched this before I bought the 737-900, not that I made the wrong decision😅
Thank you for the camera tips, I'll definitely copy your settings!
They’re all fantastic though, you can’t really go wrong
Thanks. I'm on Xbox and will be buying one or more of the pdmg 737s. Very helpful.
Glad I could help, I’m sure you’ll enjoy any series you decide to buy.
I wanted the BBJ and cargo options so I got the 700, but I don’t fly them enough 😂. But hey, they’re there for the occasional change of pace.
Can't wait for the beginner series. I bought the 600 a few months ago and was scared off by the complexity, so it's been collecting dust in my hanger.
It took some practice for me to get it right even though I was already used to flying airbuses. I’ll release some info about the tutorials format in a day or two, been working hard to find the best way to explain it.
@@FlightSimSchool I also had been flying airbuses and found them easier to comprehend. The 737 is so old school with the banks and banks of switches. Maybe using your checklist format you could go system by system?
Yep it definitely takes some getting used to. What I’ve found is you can ignore most of it when you’re just getting started, and build on it slowly.
Get them for free
@@CADArmy You can if you know where To go.
I wish they made the older 737's, like the 200 or 100 series. The ng are pretty cool too but the OG'S are cooler.
I think if anyone would make a classic 737 it'd be JustFlight, they love doing retro birds.
@@FlightSimSchool I hope they do.
I picked up the 700 because the 800 hadn’t yet released, and I don’t like the short stubby look of the 600. After the 900 released I couldn’t resist getting it because of the lower price and I like that it’s so much bigger than the 700
Glad you’re enjoying them! Are you looking forward to the 777 coming soon?
I would have bought these long ago if it wasn't for already owning the Fenix (same mission profile) and having the 737 in Xplane. Really, the only reason I keep going back and forth is due to desiring specific airline / destination combos (Westjet, Southwest, Ryanair).
sorry I did not understand very well. Is It better purchase directly to the market place? Usually when I have the option, I prefer to use market place. Let me know your opinion. Thank you for your brilliant work
If you’re on pc, I recommend to buy it directly. You’ll get updates faster and access to liveries for free
Good job Mark, i play in x box, do you know when its going to be available in there?? Thanks
There hasn't been any update in almost two weeks; you can keep an eye on their forums for the latest information: forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/246998-11apr23-pmdg-737-xbox-testing-update-good-news-this-time/page2
One caution about PMG,when new versions of the SIM come out, you need to purchase the plane again. For example I had the 737-800 for FSX and when MSFS 2020 came out just a couple years after I bought the PMDG, I will have to buy it again to use it with MSFS 2020. So I would imagine that when MSFS 2024 comes out next year, your plane will not work with 2024 unless you buy it again.
Yes that's true, although it sounds like 2024 might be slightly different. I'd expect the existing version to work, but any fixes & improvements would only be in a paid upgrade. It's too early to tell though, and could indeed only be paid-upgrade-only.
@@FlightSimSchool Thanks for the reply. Knowing PMDG, they will probably do what you said and simply stop updating it but we can probably also assume that they will do what they can to get more money to make it work "properly" in MSFS 2024. Don't get me wrong, their planes are excellent and I've been using them for a long time - I just don't like their policies. You would think that a $75 plane would at least have an EFB.
I firsth bought the 600 for short rwy and then 800 because of its several models. I'll wait for the 777 instead of 900.
I agree, at this point it's best to wait for the 777 if you want a true long hauler rather than getting the 900
Love the PMDG products, i bought the 737-800 on xbox (earlier also on pc) but the liveries are not free, the product say's it will be, but thats because it's a 100% code port to xbox and the line: Free liveries is not meant for xbox users, i dont mind, i bought them all, and now waiting for the EFB, Asobo needs to change code, because PMDG won't..
Just one question. Does the 900 have AeroMexico livery? I know the 700 and 800 does.
I'm not sure if PMDG have it, but in the worst case there is a livery for it available on flightsim.to
Bought the -600 first, mainly cost. In hind sight that was a mistake. Ended up buying the -800 so I could have a freight model.
The fun thing about the -600 is that you can takeoff & land into much shorter runways though!
@@FlightSimSchool…. Now have the -900 too. I fly predominantly airliners anyway, and Delta, my livery of choice, uses the 900 a lot. Since all of my routes are “real life” from Delta. So I duplicate their routes, flight numbers etc. Just makes the sim more interesting to me. PMDG really should have some package deals though. It can get costly.
@@jay-rus4437 I agree, especially since they are so similar, but at the same time, they are really high quality, so I sort of understand.
Hey i have a important question, in my country buying the 737 in the msfs market place is like 1 dollars Thank to the inflation ( i live in Argentina) shoulders i buy it from the page or from the market place,
Good video
It’s best to buy direct if you can, but if it’s cheaper through the market place, then that’s fine too. It just means you’ll get your updates a bit slower
hello sir, i know this is quite an old video but i hope you still reply to this.. I'm right now looking for my first PDMG Boeing purchase, but you see im very limited on budget and right now i can only afford one. my question is which is the better place to buy it because currently on the marketplace it is a bit cheaper than on PMDG webstore, but i had researched that add ons from marketplace tend to be slow on updates some people also say that PMDG boeing from marketplace is buggy. i hope you can give me your advice sir, i just really want to spend my money wisely and bought the best value because it would take me another 2 month saving before i could afford another one. best regard sir
It really depends on how quickly you want updates for it. If you’re not in a rush to get updates when they release, then you can get it in the marketplace.
i bought the 700 when it was the only one available, and now I can't really justify buying the 800 even though i want it more
Totally understand
Hi Mark, I would like to purchase the 737 through PMDG based on your information. Im new to pmdg and on checkout it asked for shipping information. Could you please explain on this? Do I need to wait for the product to be shipped? I thought it would be digital. Thank you so much
It’s definitely digital, I think they just need it for billing purposes
I'm on the fence. I'm spoiled by the A2A Comanche. It's made everything else feel like toy planes for me so I'm not sure if any of the 737s is worth it. Will probably end up getting the cheapest -600 because operating from short or hot and high runways is way more fun than flying from one 10.000 foot runway to another and honestly, what difference does it make that the -600 wasn't too popular in real life ? You can still keep it real by flying for SAS, Westjet, Air China or Air Tunisia. Or just fly it as a charter airline anywhere you want.
It hand-flies the best of any airliner available for MSFS and has fantastic systems modeliing. The 600 is a great place to start if you’re not sure since it’s the cheapest available. Some people want to make their flights exactly like in real life which is why I mentioned the 600 isn’t used very much IRL
@@FlightSimSchool really ? Better than the maddog? I heard the md80 was the best flight model but I don't own any of of them so no idea.
I don’t recommended the mad dog if it’s your first airliner, it’s not called the mad dog for nothing :D I’ve never heard any real world 737 pilots have anything but praise for pmdg’s modelling
@@FlightSimSchool haha yeah, the maddog is challenging for sure but I'm up for the challenge. The problem is my wallet isn't lol. Too expensive, unless I knew for a fact it's by far the best flying airliner in msfs. Are you familiar with floghtdeck2sim? He isn't so convinced about the pmdg 737s. He's pointed out several problems with the plane like the lack of the infamous dead band on take off, at least with the larger variants. The Comanche is just so good I don't wanna fly anything that doesn't behave like the real thing. Have you flown it by any chance ?
@davidtsw Yeah I watch FD2S fairly frequently. Sure it’s not perfect, but for us “normal” people, it’s pretty darn good. Especially if you compare it to everything else available (the Fenix A320 is the only other modern airliner that I would say is on par to PMDG quality). I’ve flown the Comanche a fair bit as well, I even have a 3 part deep dive tutorial series on it on the channel!
is there a difference between buying the plane on the website or buying it in game?
Yes, you'll get updates much faster if you buy it through the website, as well as get all the liveries for free (I'm assuming you meant on PC).
I can't seem to get the elevator trim to work at all on the 600 series with Xbox-X, VelocityOne controller. I've tried remapping several times, but still no-go. Am I able to return the purchase of the Sim?
I dont have the velocity one but I suspect it’s because the trim wheel is an axis and the PMDG looks for elevator up/down being pressed. you could just map it to two different buttons as a workaround.
Thanks for the advice@@FlightSimSchool . I wanted to purchase the 800 series as well, but not sure if I will get the experience I was looking for with the VelocityOne.

Maybe the option with the digital trim wheel shown in the video above could help? The solution with the digital trim wheel starts around minute 6:30 in the video.
What discount do you get if you buy more than one variant?
None unfortunately
Only thing about MSFS I hate is the throttles won't stay IDLE they always spoll up can't get this big to stop
It sound like you might have a double binding issue with your controls. I'd suggest checking what controls your throttles are bound to, and make sure there aren't two inputs both bound to them
I'm getting all 4 when they're released on XBOX
It will cost about the same as an XBOX and the MSFS simulator itself. LOL, don't need to do that. Without reliable ATC like Vatsim or IVAO whats the point? Get the 800 and be done with it.
@@fsx-legend4602 I bought the 800 2 days ago on series x! Best $75 I’ve ever spent! Now I just have to work on programming a flight and can’t wait for the liveries! Absolutely mind blowing it finally came to Xbox!
If i buy it on PC, do i have to buybit again for Xbox?
If you buy it through the marketplace, yes, then it should transfer over, but I don’t think it’ll do the same if you buy directly from pmdg.
Also the 600 doesn't have winglets as the real plane never had them.
i woul be happy to have the 900 better then the 800, but im not sure which is better in realism
Im very unsure which one to get though
They’re all equivalent in terms of realism
Should I buy it from Msfs store?
If you're on PC, I'd buy it directly.
Before I spent an extra 40 bucks just for long haul flights, I'd rather click the unlimited fuel button 😂
Which airport is in the intro?
That’s Wellington, Nz
@@FlightSimSchool thank you!
Nice Talestrike😂
hahaha, I checked the replay on it a few times and I think it just narrowly missed tailstriking :D
hi you can share this air craft free
Maybe you should look at the FBW A320 if you want a free product.
This Aircraft is more expensive than the Game 😵💫
True, but it’s much higher quality than any other plane available in the base version.
@@FlightSimSchoolI want to buy the 737 but I really don’t feel like paying 80 dollars for a plane.
@@ChescatProductionsGet the 600, it’s the cheapest and it’s as fully functional as all the others
@@FlightSimSchool ok
Nick eh 30
You're the second person to mention that recently; we must be long lost brothers 😁
LOL!!! Does it really matter?
Does what really matter?
Nobody wants that pmdg trash. Captain Sim is the industry leader...😂 /sarcasm
I own the 600 and 700, they ooze quality.
Hehe, you did make me realize though that I should have said you can’t go wrong with any of them because they are all high quality
@@pR1mal. did you get any discount for owning more than one variant? If I understood correctly, in the video he mentioned a discount for buying a second variant.
@ammarbader3068 not that I'm aware of. Maybe, but I don't think so.
@@ammarbader3068 No, I actually said the opposite.
