November 11, 200520 yr Commercial Member Gents-FWIW: We have decided what comes next.FWIW2: We can't tell you about it yet....Oh how I love to tease. :-) Robert S. Randazzo PLEASE NOTE THAT PMDG HAS DEPARTED AVSIM You can find us at: http://forum.pmdg.com
November 11, 200520 yr Hi,Gulfstream/General Dynamics promised to sue anyone who copied their designs, even for FS, so no Gulfstreams.I'd like to see the 744 fixed first - everyone says "PMDG standards" - with what I've seen so far I'm not impressed. Sure - they go for detail, but it would be nice if the detail worked as it should, and not requiring a patch to fix some fundamental problems. ;) Also it is lacking the same detail in certain areas. IRS is a very good example. It doesn't fail, even with failures enabled, and they said it can't fail, too. CIVA INS still rocks!I've flown hundereds of hours in the 744 and overall haven't had too many issues with it, but those items that are issues, are pretty darn annoying and seriously ruin the experience. :(After that, I'd like to see a Fokker 100 - no one has attempted this yet, and is more advanced than any other commercial aircraft (just minus the FBW).I just hope they figure out how to add WX Radar to the ND first. ;)Best regards,Robin.
November 11, 200520 yr I thought doing a quick scroll down said they have already decided. I hope it's a Airbus A-300. Or MD-80.
November 12, 200520 yr Looooong way ahead, but B787 would be nice, once real thing are out flying :9 Bill Reynolds[/img]http://online.vatsimindicators.net/810046/2540.png[/img]
November 12, 200520 yr I really hope you do anyone fo the A320 or the 777As some body said the A320's are totally outdated and require a serious revamp with a new programming technology. In the case of the jsut released 777 nothing to do with your queen. I think really they missed the product launching with a very much dissapointing product.I will certainly refrain from buying any other of their products. Hope youreally do that....Pete
November 12, 200520 yr Even if there are two B777 in the circuit right now (PSS, and soon FEELTHERE) I still hope PMDG will do one aswell.
November 12, 200520 yr Hi everybody,Definitely AIRBUS begining with the series A318/319/320/321 and then all versions of the A330, A340, A350 and finally the A380. There's plenty of material out there that together will guide and help developing simulating the digital fly by wire model of AIRBUSES.Look for it here on the net!!... Seek and you'll findI belive that if not from AIRBUS it self, there are pilots flying those A/C's and with access to PHB's QRH's FOM's and all pertinent manuals etc.. will give a helping hand in development and testing, after all.I'm a hopefull beliver....ALG Antonio Lapa Gomes LPPT - LIS / PORTUGAL http://www.airsimmer.com/pic/et_1.png
November 12, 200520 yr I think its high time PMDG tackle a piper cub...More seriously,Since RSR has indicated a decision has been made, this whole conversation is a moot point, however I will make a humble educated guess. PMDG has come from a strong Boeing line and is moving onto the MD-11. Having personally recently become acquainted with the cockpit of the MD-11 (not as a pilot) I have come to the conclusion that the whole avionics set-up (ie Auotflight systems, FMS and even the Nav display and systems synoptics) is halfway between Boeing style and Airbus style, in fact edging more closely to the Airbus side of things with the level of integration of the FMS and autopilot modes and the presentation of the systems synoptics. If PMDG can simulate the MD-11 accurately, then I at think that it is at least a step towards Airbus-levels of integration, and I know what people have said about Airbus being protective over releasing aircraft information. For the record, I am hoping for an Airbus, but I wonder if anyone familiar with the MD-11 can confirm or deny my musings?Tony
November 12, 200520 yr Although I know it would never happen, I'd like to see PMDG do an F14 Tomcat.Bob Quick Regards,Bob Quick
November 12, 200520 yr There are so many choices today in airline A/C, I would like to see either a well done Beechcraft C-90 as a personal A/C or some Gulfstream variety. Richard Spencer Churchill PVT SEL GYSGT USMC (ret)
November 12, 200520 yr >FWIW: We have decided what comes next.>>>FWIW2: We can't tell you about it yet....LOL, based on that hint Robert i'll take a shot in the dark and presume its an American built plane, dont want to say any names though.I'll put 10 Bucks on it, not Pounds or Euros.... :-lol Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com Armen L CholakianPMDG Sound Engineer
November 12, 200520 yr My vote goes for an Airbus A319/320/321. We have already an abundant selection of vintage aircraft and Boeings. A MD80 from Flight1 is in the works and most of the short haul commerical jets (CRJ, ERJ) and turboprops (ATR, Dash) are also covered, yet we have to see a detailed Airbus.For me an A319/320/321 would fill the gap for short/medium haul airliners, because all of my flights are about 1-3 hours at best. The Airbus would fit right in, because it is *the* most popular airliner, next to the Boieng 73x.
November 13, 200520 yr Just my 0,02.Airbus 320 family: ABSOLUTLYB777: AbsolutlyBAE/Avro: AbsolutlyFokker 70/100: AbsolutlyMD80: well I like Maddog, but it seems I'm almost the only one!!!!And just a new idea:Embraer 170/175/190/195 - Absolutly a beautifull aircraft!!! And flying already!!CheersMiguel
