June 13, 200322 yr Author Thanks Bob!This is sure going to be a great start for PMDG's first MSFS add-on aircraft.Jerome Zimmermann
June 14, 200322 yr Commercial Member Clayton-Time to start reading the forum. ;-)I posted some information on the beta process- and what our testers are allowed/not allowed to show you right now...You can find it right here in the forum! I won't retype it because it is already written! Robert S. Randazzo PLEASE NOTE THAT PMDG HAS DEPARTED AVSIM You can find us at: http://forum.pmdg.com
June 14, 200322 yr This plane is looking better everyday. Cant wait!Great screenshots!Robert...in regards to your post. You said that the restricions placed in the beta testers is on the forum (correct me if I am wrong). That got me curious but I was unable to find them. No biggy. Just interested in what BETA testers could/couldnt do.Cheers,Ryan
June 14, 200322 yr Hi folks The pictures are amazing.I am very sure the 737NG will set new standards for flight sim.PMDG is a leader in making airplanes that are very close to the real thing.I am planning to buy a ch yoke to fly this beauty.I don't think it is fair to fly this with my joystick.
June 14, 200322 yr Commercial Member We have been conducting a survey on the control hardware issue. I would recommend a yoke in any case but the model is optimised to work using a large collection of control types. It even works with the keyboard (I have to do something to cure boredom while on never-ending business trips, correct ?)Regards,Vangelis======================================= E. M.

June 14, 200322 yr Thank you Vangelis for your kind advice.I am definitely going to buy a yoke.A real 737NG has a yoke.A yoke is little pricy compared to a Joystick how ever the feel is better .I have a good friend who is an Airbus A340 Commander for an Asian airline.Previously he flew the L1011 Tristar.I asked him if he prefers the sidestick controller or the control coloumn.He said to me that he prefers the yoke as it is steadier and it gives tactile feedback on what the aircraft is doing at any time.From that day onwards i had a liking for yoke.Only now I have made a firm decision to buy it.It is a good investment and should last for a long time if used carefully. I have heard a lot about your flight dynamics for the fly 777.I am sure that this 737 is going to give pmdg team a great fame among msfs fans . Regards Shan
June 14, 200322 yr Commercial Member Hi Shan... try Ebay. I got mine there for about 40% below retail :)VinPMDGwww.precisionmanuals.comhttp://www.vinscimone.com/dancnkid.gif Vin Scimone Precision Manuals Development Group www.precisionmanuals.com

June 14, 200322 yr Author Thanks Jay, I'll post some more when I get a chance to put some new ones together.;-)Jerome Zimmermann
June 14, 200322 yr I got the PFC Jetliner Yoke with the rudder pedals (costs about 695+ dollars US) and can't wait to use it with this plane. Eric
