I know you are just kidding but keep in mind too I am sure Singapore put down millions for a deposit too!

I know this is a stupid question, so please do not get mad at me. Will the 747-400X be Vista compatible?

> I know this is a stupid question, so please do not get mad>at me. Will the 747-400X be Vista compatible?Actually not stupid at all... (sign your name to your posts though please) We'll be posting more information addressing XP vs. Vista and a couple of other issues shortly.

If not please consider>this in the development of your 737NG.Usually if a hardware company will send Lefteris a unit for testing, he'll make the plane work with it. Companies who have actually done that for us are few and far between however.

Hello, Wonderful that the Queen is nearing release. I have been following the development and posts around this forum for a long time. I must give cred to the PMDG team for sticking with their policies. I work in a large automotive company, and I can tell you, we never give any hints to anybody regarding things that can have a negative business impact. I have two question though, many folks around here are system and process oriented. But you eat with both eye and mouth. Have you concider any new effects? like realistic spray from engines when wet runway, heat effect, vapor on wings upon take off ect. Second, one of the things with flight sim that I find most urealisic is the apperance of the aircraft regarding to weight, the default 737 looks like it weighs as much like a paper plane. In real life the shock absorbers sway more than one time upon landing. I miss the feel of the plane shaking and cracking during taxi. The feel that the 747-400 for example really weighs 400 tonnes. Is this due to limitations in FSX/FS9 or is it just hard to develop?Thanks for super products!Best regardsJohan

Hello PMDG teamOnly a short question:Do you'll publish a test with a single core processor (P4, 3.2 GHz), with 2 GB RAM, too?Thanks a lot!Best regardsMarcel

uhm, am just wondering, how is the wing flex ?is it like the defualt 747 ( which is wonderful ) ?Ali

>call from crew scheduling sometime after next weekend. ;-)>>crew scheduling calling is not fun at all

>uhm, am just wondering, how is the wing flex ?>is it like the defualt 747 ( which is wonderful ) ?The wingflex is completely smooth now and basically looks like the real thing - the FS9's had to be segmented into 3 parts due to the way the animation system worked. The flex looks really good in FSX.

AEROSOFT allready advertise the CD cost at Euro 59.99 and a possible release date around Xmas.

>so when the sun reflects the wings, the 3 segmeted parts won't>appear ?Correct, the wings now use a "bone" system that flexes realistically as a whole.

Michael-Aerosoft has been estimating a release for the CD version for nearly a year now... We have not discussed pricing OR release ETA information with them in great details- so any pricing or date information is purely speculative and should not be given much credit for accuracy.
