Yes, the price for the XPlane version stands at $69.99 atm. But givin the fact that the XPlane version is much more tailored to system programming compared to the FSX/P3D version ( as stated by PMDG and the specific reason why it was initially released for XPlane ) one could expect a lower price for the FSX/P3D version. ( just guessing.. )
PMDG products are quite expensive but Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Rolls Royce are expensive too and if PMDG would make real cars instead of virtual aeroplanes they'd fit in perfectly. And what's more, who could've ever imagined PMDG, creator of contemporary airliners only, would take a shot at a vintage propliner ?...
We, propliner aficionados, can call ourselves extremely lucky. One could easily call the JF DC-6 one of their best propliner models if not THE best, i have enjoyed flying it for quite some time, but with a DC-6 model done by PMDG we have unmistakably won the lottery.
Let's hope we can finally cash in this week...
cheers,
