June 20, 200520 yr Great job PMDG! How is the MD-11 going? Have you guys started it now that the 744 is in beta, or are you waiting until the 744 is released?Thanks,Matt

June 20, 200520 yr What a classic approach. Put out a product ready to run and with virtually no issues and keep the customer appraised of the progress of his/her next purchase. It sure is refreshing. Thank you for putting us in the equation.
June 21, 200520 yr "40,000 hours of 747-400 experience" in your team -wow! That is really impressive - and we all get the benefit. All the best for the rest of beta - Take you time.-Timh

This team is one of the best if not the best a developer could hope for on such an important project as the 747-400. We are going for the rainbow pot of gold here, we want what you want, that is to have the Queen of the skys both in simulating reality and taking desktop siming to an all new level. There is work yet to be done and I see things right on tract and of us have given up wives, children, sleep etc to provide the FS comumunity with the finest simulator ever created for Flight Simulator. This is my long held dream, a dream being mended together in this "cycle"......Stay tuned..[h4]Randy J. Smith[/h4] Randy J Smith
June 21, 200520 yr Thank you for the update. I've been waiting for this bird for a long time, at the same time, I also want a product that will bring pleasure and no headaches (in the software aspect), so do please take your time. -J- Jay Marin
June 21, 200520 yr When the beta testers like Randy are done, then the BETTER testers like us take over!:)best
