Pure boredom, pure typical GJ release... of course, the MD-90 is welcome, at least

Very boring, I honestly don’t understand some of the hype around Gemini on other platforms…
The A220 is the only buy for me, which will make it just the 2nd new release I’ve ordered from GJ this year. That’s a pretty pathetic amount

May get the Edelweiss flaps version, JC will be releasing the same config in 200 as well

They are giving us an American Md-90 when they could have done another Reno Air Orange County Flyer. Heck why not a fantasy model like Alaska MD-90. The type was ordered by Alaska but then cancelled in favor of the 737-400 increased cargo capabilities

Only interested in the QantasLink "Broccoli Dreaming" A220.

Me too - this one needs to come home. I didn't get the earlier regular scheme one.
Been avoiding GJs A220s - nlg is too tall, besides the cockpit template issue

I've been reluctant to pull the trigger on their A220 as well. That nlg is not only too tall, the tyres are the same size as the mains. And although the subject is awesome, will continue to to hold off until these issues are addressed.

Right! That too. I don't get why GJ change things for the worse. Their previous version had shorter nlg making the nose tip down weirdly, though the tyre size was ok-ok.

There's nothing here I have to have.
The MD-90 is nice, but I'll take my chances waiting for NG to remember they have castings for MD-80/90's. Again, the only A220 casting belongs to GJ/JC, but I personally detest the gear fixtures, and while this is an interesting livery, I have no interest in taking a $50 bath for what will be a 50/50 disappointment. I have NG's Hawaiian A330 which is far better than this one will be, and NG also just released the 747-8 standard, and I don't typically go for the interactive models.
The Swiss A350 is the only thing that raises my eyebrows, and that's only because I've missed out on other Edelweiss A350's. Another month waiting to GJ to matter...

Totally concur
I'm waiting for NG to release that Edelweiss.

The JC/GJ MD-90 is better than their MD-80, so the odds are a little more favorable, at least in my experience.

Just before I take a short Christmas break there is time to look at this month's Geminis, of which there are less than usual, although the subject matter remains basically the same. They kind of sum up GJ's year - largely uninspiring, but with nice MDs and regionals.

NG don't have an MD-90 so it'd be worth getting this one as you're not going to see one from NG in the next year at least - probably more. As Skippy says there isn't a lot wrong with the Gemini 90. Agree on all your other points though. The cockpit print is the worst bit of the A220 for me

10/4 on the MD-90. In the past NG has shown it has the ability, in a short amount of time, to stretch its castings. I'll use the 757-200 stretched to a 757-300 as an example. Obviously the MD-90 has bigger engines too, but it seems that if they wanted to produce an MD-90, it wouldn't take them long.
But as you've pointed out all year it seems, who knows what NG really want to do, or, what they can actually do at this point, since it seems they are a long way off from the NG we used to know.
The Gemini MD-90 this month is certainly ok, but as it is quite niche with the Reno Air white base coat, it's not anything I need. Even if it was, I'd personally be willing to wait for NG to get it's act together, years if necessary.
