Captains!

If you will please pardon me for sounding a bit snarky: All of us on the development team have been thoroughly entertained reading the various threads that popped up based on my interview with the French language website: Avionic Online. (www.avionic-online.com)

The shear enthusiasm with which you have debated the various merits of different product ideas has been flattering to us all, more than anything else- so on behalf of the entire team: Thank You!

Now- i thought I would bring you a bit of news and updates to give you something to look forward to over the coming weeks!

First: We have an update coming for the MD-11. This update will affect both platforms, and fixes a couple dozen issues that have been nagging at us since the last update cycle. The update is currently in validation testing, and we presume that we'll release it to you during the course of the coming week. I will post a complete update list in a few days- but we have been primarily focused on usability problems such as the broken domelight in FSX, and the fact that the FMS would fail to read airport/approach data when more than 159 SDI/STARS existed to the airport. (I think that is the number that was the problem- but i may be wrong...)

There are a number of other fixes that will be detailed here shortly. (Please do not fill this thread asking about X or Y...I'll post the list soon enough!)

Second: The NG2.0 is progressing NICELY. This airplane is fantastically detailed when compared to her 1.0 predecessor, and we are making good and steady progress. Obviously, no release date information as is our custom, but each day brings us closer! ;-)

Third: The "Secret Airplane" came as a surprise to many of you- but had indeed been mentioned here in an earlier updates post. This project is a highly detailed simulation, and I think you will be amazed when you see what we have accomplished with this airplane. This project will be unveiled in/around mid-march, i suspect, based upon current work-progress. Beyond this, I will not tell you what it is- other than to say it is not an A320, and McPhat is not involved...

Okay- I think that covers news items for tonight...

Thank you again for your enthusiasm for our products!

You have two weeks to guess what PMDG is preparing. My guess is a small regional jet. Embraer E145?!

[Cortez]

CRJ!!!!!

Oh man, good update. Good to hear about the NG2.0 as well!

Will this plane be compatible with FS9 at release date?

[Independence76]

I'd like to see PMDG do an Airbus in general.

Well, we'll see.

[Yeah]

Is a 777 completely out of the question for the "secret plane"?

[andrew_c]

It will probably be another pmdg express option.  Maybe a dash 8 or something along those lines?  I highly doubt its a full sized airliner.

hopefully not  

as long as its a Boeing (or maybe a airbus) I'm holding my breath

[spitfir3]

Hope it's a Dash 8

[Toyuko]

Come on CRJ

They're doing that for ~2012

[SetClimbThrust]

Does any body know for a FACT that the 737NG2.0 is coming out for fs9?

hmmmm..... It's probably ganna get released on 12/21/2012.......... That might explain why the mayan calendar ends on that date.....  

CRJ would be PWN though.  

[Flightsimulatorpilot]

It would be cool if it was an A330 or A340.

I thought we cleared this up. YES, they are doing it for FS9, however the FSX version will be available first. The FS9 version will be later.

[Prancer]

C'mon! C-17 Globemaster III!

[Ben_1995]

A Nice Embraer would be good

[Alaska_MD-83]

Bae-146 all the way!

(Though I think AFG is making one at the moment, and HJG has one with a good panel)




Excellent about the NG2.0 I was about to buy there NG. I think I will wait abit now.

[RossBurke]

Keep it Boeing...


I reckon anyway!

[SetClimbThrust]

I agree with burke, if it aint boeing it aint coming

[Brandon-M]

^^.......

Anyway..

I reckon a quality E-175 or E-190 would be fantastic

[Chief NWA]

Here are my hopes.
1 - DC9
2 - Saab 340/2000
3 - CRJ
4 - RJ85/Bae 146
5 - A319

They said it wasnt an A320. I am still keeping my hopes up for a 318/319/321.
