Good Evening!During the past few months, PMDG has expanded ranks to include three new team members! While most of you have probably noticed the subtle growth of PMDG during the past few months- but all the same, it is important that they be recognized directly, so.......Paul Gollnick has become a familiar name to nearly everyone at PMDG during the past 18 months, and many of you may recognize him from within this forum. Paul consulted with those of us developing the PMDG FLY! series 757 released in early 2002, and has continued that consultancy role during the development of the 737NG. As we have gotten to know Paul, it became apparent that he is always a valuable asset around PMDG (where you MUST have a sense of humor to survive!) and around the forum (where you MUST have a sense of humor to survive!)As such, we asked Paul to join PMDG in January of this year, and he has assumed the role of Technical Services. Paul will direct our efforts to ensure that PMDG customers receive a good product, good customer support and good technical support for those who need it!Bob Jones joined the team last month as Master Artist and has been responsible for developing the texture masters that are used to produce the liveries that are being applied to the 600/700/800/900 and BBJ variants of our new airplane. Bob has proven to be instrumental in assisting the entire PMDG team in refining the artwork for the cockpit, refining some fine details on the airplane visual model and enhancing the overall depth and feel of the visual model on the airplane!Bob has helped produce the new PMDG House LIvery that you see displayed elsewhere in the foum. In additiona to other liveries, Bob has produced the texture masters that are necessary to place truly extraordinary liveries on the airplane!Pete Sterling is familiar to anyone who has spent time around the PMDG forum! Pete joined the team as a Texture Artist after painting many of PMDG's previous products in various liveries as a hobby. Pete has worked closely in trusted positions with PMDG in the past, and has helped quickly hit the ground running as a member of the PMDG livery development team. A few of Pete's liveries are on display in an earlier message in this forum, and I'm sure you will agree he makes a great addition!I hope you will all join me in welcoming Paul, Bob and Pete to the PMDG team! The quality of the 737NG has gone up measurably as a result of their participation!

Hi,I am a regular reader of this forum and so far have not posted here, but I noticed that this post has slipped down the forum without a reply, and nobody welcoming these guys to the group.So I just wanted to say my welcome to the new guys, they are all doing a fantastic job :DWell done to the whole team, this project is looking outstanding :-eek I am sure it will be a huge success :DBest RegardsJulie

Thanks, Julie. :-wave

I would also like to give a warm welcome to all of the new members to the PMDG team too. :-waveFrom the screen shots I've seen so far of the 737NG, you guys are doing one heck of an excellent job. You are a very talented group of people. I am really looking forward to seeing what other projects you guys will be working on for MSFS in the future. I hope PMDG will continue developing products for MSFS for a long time to come. Even though I have never purchased any PMDG products in the past since I have never owned any of the Fly! series sims, I definately plan on becoming a future PMDG customer and would like to support such a greatly talented group of friendly people who will be greatly enhancing my flight simming experience with their products.Rob Kinsman
