747x

[Guest dkluempers]

I definitely understand. This topic has been addressed and PMDG has kept us in the loop with updates regarding this. Personally, the only problem I have is that you have not let me pre-order everything; well maybe that is a good thing since owe enough money as it is on my credit card. :)David Kluempers

What sense does pre-ordering a download product that won't be in limited supply like a physical item make? :)

>What sense does pre-ordering a download product that won't be>in limited supply like a physical item make? :)Well, considering what happened with the release of the 744 for FS9, I suppose those who preordered could be allowed to download the plane a few days early, before the servers get overloaded.Nevertheless, in the long run I think allowing preorders would just be asking for trouble. Knowing some of the folks in here, if there was a last minute delay of some kind, the flamefest on this forum would be insane.Andrew

Well i would kill to use the old 747 model and panel in FSX, so i think it would be humble if they made just a patch for FSX, instead of a new model and other so called new stuff. I bought a new FSX so called re-modelled cessna citation for FSX, and when i used it in FSX, it turned out to be the old model with no new features at all and when i contacted that company they offered me to give my money back and said nothing about my complaints. I have to agree that a big part of the delay of the PMDG 747 FSX lies by microsoft for holding back the SDK for developers and the patch. Another problem is that there are some individuals who try to undermine FSX and keep sending hate reports against FSX and so companies are not willing to upgrade there products for FSX, because they think that the support for FSX is too low.

Martijn..Considering the relevant delays and major issues associated with the release of FSX, its obvious simply "patching" a version for the new simulator is not possible, as they have stated already. I do agree with you on the accusation of MS holding back. Im sure the guys want nothing more than to give us our 747X and continue with the MD-11... i've said enough.

Well, that's not really the same thing is it? We are specifically being told that there will be new features and a brand new model. We have already been shown some of the new features in fact. We know it isn't the same FS9 model in an FSX package.>I have to agree that a big part of the>delay of the PMDG 747 FSX lies by microsoft for holding back>the SDK for developers and the patch.

(eg. FS time, AS6, RCv4, FSBuild, etc.) Some companies are deciding to release their products under both FS9 and FSX for the time being in anticipation of the inevitable upgrade to FSX. PMDG, however, already has and FS9 B744 and is getting the 747X ready for release.Ryan GamurotLucky to live Hawai'ihttp://www.virtualpilots.org/signatures/vpa296.png
