March 11, 200422 yr Hi guys,I know your schedule looks pretty full with the B737NG followed by the 747-400, but if I may sugguest an idea for your next project. The A340-500 and -600. These are highly technically complex aircraft but I know from what I have alreay experienced with your 737-600/700 that if anyone is up to the job - its PMDG!I'm not rushing you on this guys, I can't even begin to imagine how much work you chap's must do to get the fantastic results you do with your aircraft, but I hope it's an idea you will consider for the near future.Anyway keep em comin PMDG, and please don't be too long with the 744, I can't wait!All the best,Steve.
March 12, 200422 yr I recall a previous post asking about doing an Airbus, PMDG stated that they looked into it in the past, and Airbus Corp. themselves wouldn't supply the needed Data to create the aircraft.
March 12, 200422 yr Hi Steve, honestly I would'nt want another airbus but instead a beatifull boeing 777 or an MD-11.David David
March 12, 200422 yr agree with you..... enough airbus... FS9 has 3 airbuses add ons already..... we need some more boeings.... :)Dany Setyadihttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/supporter.jpg
March 12, 200422 yr Not only Boeings...The following aircraft are generally ignored by the developers.And I mean complete a/c with proper systems and hopefully with hardware support :-)(Listed in order of personal preference)B757-200/300B717MD80/83/87/90A300-600, A310-300B737-200B777MD11L1011 (I know, old but still very interesting a/c!)And we definitely need a PROPER B737-400 !!!George DorkofikisAthens, Greece
March 12, 200422 yr well we've got alot of airbusses for FS now but they're just not of the quality i need...cheers
March 12, 200422 yr Hiya,I agree with you on that, although the PSS airbus payware packages are of excellent quality. To address some of the comments on the lack of Boeing aircraft, I have to disagree with thoughs who say there are not enough. I admit that at the minute FS2004 is lacking Boeings, but they are being developed.B727 : Already released.B737-400 : Dreamfleet (updating previous B737-400 package)B737-600/700/800/900 : PMDGB747-400 : PSS & PMDGB767 : Wilco PublishingsB777 : PSS Don't get me wrong, it would be great if PMDG could do all of the above, but I think we have to realistic in the fact that with the time and effort PMDG put into each project, all of the above is not a realistic amount of work for PMDG to undertake.So I guess its really only the 717 and the 757 that is not being developed. Mind you the MD-11 or a 747 Classic would be nice.I as I said in my first post, I'm not rushing on this, get the Boeings done first. I wan't them as much as the next guy, but when all the Boeings are done and available, then perhaps a new Airbus could be made possible. I was dissapointed to read that Airbus have been un-helpful in not providing the info required by PMDG to make an accurate model. Anyway, thanks for your comments.All the Best,Ste.
March 12, 200422 yr Ste, to remind you, 777 and 747 from PSS are hardly actual any more, those are aircraft for the FS2000 and they are NOT working in the FS9. So we are basically without these babies. At least noone announcing 777, except PSS, who said that they are going to do concorde next, and after that 747&777 for FS9. When is that going to be, God only knows.I also think that some other aircraft, like 757 or MD-11 would be a nice addition, though being without decent 747 and 777 is a shame :)And 767 would also be a nice thing to have, and Wilco's 767 is also I think only for FS2000/2002.
March 12, 200422 yr Ste,Just to update:>B727 : Already released. Dreamfleet/F1 are going to be releasing a 727 package aswell, looks mighty fine! It'll included several versions and panels. >B737-400 : Dreamfleet (updating previous B737-400 package)Actually a completly new product from the ground up. They are also making a 737-200 (classic) along with it. Again several versions and panels.Just FYI :)I think PMDG should do the baby airbuses. I agree with the member above (sorry forgot name) that although there are several airbuses around, few of them are the kind of complexity that most of the users who have the PMDG 737's require. PIC A320, fair enough it's complex, the thing that puts me off is the lack of 2D panels. I still like to sit in the VC during the cruise, but whenever I need to do something with the aircraft I always go back to the 2D.PSS A32X, I flew them for a long time but, to put it bluntly, they shot themselves in the foot big time since FS9 came out. AFAIK (I don't frequent the PSS forum much anymore) the buses still don't perform correctly.The other buses that are out there are just good looking models from what I gather i.e. no systems modelled and in most cases no panel. Those shouldn't be put in the same 'folder' as the ones above simply due to there lack of sytems. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to take anything away from these guys as there work is very good, they just shouldn't be classed in the same way as a highly complex addon is.While on the subject of PSS, someone above said that the PSS747 doesn't work in FS9. Infact it does work if your willing to edit parts of it. The only thing I found wrong with it is that VNAV is very erratic, everthing else seems to work as advertised. Not ideal but it'll do until something better comes along. CheersDavid
March 12, 200422 yr I'm getting tired of all the Boeings and Airbusses being developed for FS. Come on guys there is more besides those two. I think a MD80/90 package would be very interesting but a MD11 would be the best of all. ;-)http://www.flightfactory-simulations.com/h...B_testpilot.jpg[a href=http://www.ifdg.net]--iFDG website!--[/a]
March 12, 200422 yr Hi guys, a lot of boeings have been released but only a few (meaning two in that list worth the bucks.1) The pmdg of course for it's high attention to devoloping realistic systems and flight behaviour, don't wanna seem retoric but they just deserve the credit for the profesional approach they always had since the NG release.2) Don't own but heard a lot of good words about Wilco's 767, so they got a new costumer for their next release.3) Dreamfleet 737 was ok a couple of years ago, I never liked it's flight dynamics but loved it's 2d panel bitmaps and views ( still hard to macth even today).4) I started flight simming with Pss's 747-400 and I really enjoyed it for a long time after, it was a major breaktrough back then; their triple 7 didn't even come close to the 747's quality so that's why, in my opinion, a 777 is highly desirable.All of the above reflects my own personal opinion based on the experience I had flying these aircraft. So if you wanna list all boeing aircraft fine, but if you want to list the good stuff then their are some considerations to be made.P.S. By the way I forgot to mention the 747-200 "ready for pushback" that, always in my opinion, had and sure will have carisma to sell when released! If you want complexcity then there nothing that compares!Take care,David http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/66849.jpg David
