I guess u wouldnt mind paying it if it was a full package!
But just a model- thats bad!

I guess they are trying to making up the money they have lost on piracy

I use a cheap alternative for FS9:

Download the posky version
http://www.projectopensky.com/index.php ... owfile=396
Copy the panel, sound.pw, aircraft config file and air file from the pmdg -400 folder to the posky folder
Replace the parts from below merge file into the aircraft.cfg file and fly this boeing beluga if you want to be found in such a ugly beast...

Now all we need is to start flying them here

From the boys at PMDG:

Considering that's what the real aircraft actually is, I don't know what you're expecting. It's the same cockpit and the same performance as a loaded 400, that comes straight from Boeing.

There is more to this product than just a visual model, you'll find out more in due time.

More here.

Still, fifty thousand dollars for add-on!!!!
