2024 Black Friday Sales?

Hi - I see some products I'd like to buy (mainly IFE Tornado, IFE F-35, and DC Typhoon) on sale in the in-sim Marketplace on a bit of a sale, but I'm loathe to buy there due to what I understand is weapons not showing up on models purchased there. Instead, I'd prefer to buy as I've always done - from the vendors (eg: ORBX for IFE, etc.) - but I see none have sales advertized.

Anyone know if either IFE or DC is having any Black Friday sales?

thanks,

dl
 
I just looked at Sim Market, but no sale on Dino's F-35 (Fat Amy) or M-346 which, by the way, are two of my favorites in MSFS2020. Dino is really good at keeping his aircraft updated, so I have no problem paying his asking price. Good aircraft...don't miss out.

P.S. Just in case Dino sees this unsolicited plug...please do a payware S-3A or S-3B.
 
I was looking for a sale on the Pimax Crystal Light, but there doesn't seem to be one. Their site promotes "$599!" But that appears to be only the down payment, followed by 2 yrs at $12/month for a total of $886. If you want to pay it all at once, it is still $858. This is for the version with the local dimming and the controllers. I would prefer the stripped-down version with no local dimming and no controllers, but that doesn't seem to be offered at all currently. I would really like to have this unit, but this deceptive marketing of a fake $599 price, added to recent reports of QC issues, poor customer support, the botched launch of FS2024 which takes the urgency out of upgrading, and the fact that my Reverb G2 is still humming along nicely, have moved the PCL from something I thought I'd buy this month into the "maybe next year unless something better comes along" category. Too bad, Pimax, you blew it for me.

The CJ Simulations Eurofighter Typhoon is on sale for about 30% off at both Just Flight and Simmarket (search at either place using the name "Typhoon").
 
Note that MS has announced they're lifting the weapons ban for Marketplace. So future updates can have non-firing weapons stores.

Tempted by the Flysimware Learjet for $23.99, but I think I'll wait to see if he does a native FS2024 update.

Parallel 42 has 42% off everything. Gonna grab Widow's Peak to go with my Circle B Ranch, and I keep getting tempted by the Juice Goose, but not sure how much I'd use it.

The Cockspur executive jets and microlights are ridiculously cheap on the MP, but I'd never fly them.
Flight Replicas Seafire and Carriers bundle is cheaper than the seafire alone...but I've 3 spitfires already and the carriers don't move.
Struggling to find anything anywhere to buy, with MSFS 2024 upgrades looming...
 
Final Black Friday sale damage:

Black Box BN2T Turbo Islander (I had all the other BBS planes, I'm a completionist!)
FlySimWare Learjet 35A
Cockspur C162 Skycatcher (mediocre ratings, but it was really cheap)
 
I just stopped by at FlyingIron Simulations and there appears to be a sale there. Based on John T's recent comments about the P-38 in MSFS2024, I purchased the P-38. I also thought...what the Hell...get the Hell Cat, so I did!

P.S. Hurry, ends 12/4/2024.
 
I forgot to grab Widow's Peak from //42 before the sale ended (it was over when I checked at 11:30 pm last night). Then I remembered they're on Contrail, and I was able to grab that and the Juice Goose at the discounted prices this afternoon!
