Who will release first?PMDG 747-400OrActive Sky ASVI am reading both forums with anticipation.

Hi ! all i know is that iam going to buy both ! :D do you understand what a combo that is???!! AMAZING FS will never be the same :D.Best regards:Alexander

Actually I am wondering who will release first..PMDG with their 744 or PSS with their 777. PSS is saying early summer and that starts in 11 days. I suspect the 777 will be out in July.

>I suspect the 777 will be out in>July.People complain that PMDG is so slow in sharing info on their 747. I went to the PSS' website and there is practically nothing about their 777. The product will be released in a few months and the only thing they have is one half-picture and maybe 10 sentences.

I say 24 September 2005 release date ;-)

I was just checking out activesky website and I'm impressed. The screenshots make it seem that simming with this new program will be prettier than the real thing. I just wish that my PC could take on such a challenge. BTW what do you guys think: I own a pentium 4 1.80 GH, 512 MB ram with a 64 mb Gforce videocard (a lousy setup, I know). I was thinking of getting a 128 mb cideocard and doubling my ram memory. Do you guys think it's better to just upgrade the processor and forget video card and ram? I can't do everything at once unfortunately. I don;t know much about computers, as a matter of fact the only thing I know is that the bigger and faster the better for flight simming!Regards,Victor http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

Victor,Remember that ASV will offer you clouds in 3 different resolutions. 512x512 will probably be too much for your computer but 256x256 looks almost equally good but represents 1/4 of the load. I know what I am talking about since I am a betatester of the ASV 5 (practically ready for the release).Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg

If they came out on the same day, I'd swear I was living in heaven!

Victorits all about CPU CPU CPU.

Now that's an easy one to answerASVWhile we have just read the End of alpha notice for the 747, we are in the very final phases of the ASV shortly. You see a releas announcement in AS forum very soon, after Damian and the team do some final posloshing and wrapping the product for public release.Prepare to be very amazed, ASV is a whole different world compared to previous AS versions! (no, I don't get paid for the shameless plug).I have been doing much of my ASV testing with the PMDG 737s and I am looking forward to using ASV with the 747 and MD-11 when they're ready!Best RegardsMax (Bern, LSZB)http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_beta_member.jpghttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

And the winner is Active Sky V. Out now.Now I can't wait for the 747 to punch holes in the beautiful clouds.Take all the time you need. I know you will do it right.

Let us just hope that PMDG will not also choose PayPal!In that case, many countries will not be able to purchase.RakhamToshiba Satellite P4 3.4 Ghz1536 DDR RAM nVidia GeForce FXWinXP ProYoke & Pedals CH Products
