pmdg 737-600/700

I am a new member here.I have alot of airplane time but I am not
terribly sharp when it comes to my PC. I am using the 737-400 in my
Microsoft Flight 2002 sim.I would like to get the 737 600/700 from
PMDG but I am not getting a straight answer from them as to whether
this is compatable with MS 2002.When I go to try to buy it it says
that this product is only compatable with Flight 9.1.I have never
heard of 9.1 and I am not sure what it is.I thought I was purchasing
an ad on for MS 2002.Is there something else I have to buy? I have
tried emailing PMDG about this and they responded a few days later but
they didnt answer my question.
I am wondering if any of you on this list have tried any PMDG products
as ad ons to the MS 2002 and how do they work (Are they realistic or
arcade like)? Is their customer service always this bad?Are there
other companies that have a 737NG sim product.Any help would be
appreciated

It isn't.

Flight Simulator 9.1 is just another name for Flight Simulator 2004 with the
update patch (FS 2004 without the patch is referred to sometimes as FS 9 or
FS9).

Not on FS 2002, but I use their PMDG 737-800 and 747-400 on FS 2004 and they
are fabulous add-ons, among the best around. If you want large Boeing
airliners with uncompromising realism, PMDG is the first place to look for
them.

The closest competitor is Level-D, but the two companies generally publish
different add-ons for different Boeing aircraft, so there is only a slight
overlap.

It's very small and has a reputation for not being too cooperative, especially
if you have anything negative to say about the product.
