13OCT08 PMDG MD-11 Release Planning Update

[rsrandazzo 6,353]

Captains-Just thought I'd give you a quick update to say that we are still targeting Monday as our preferred release date for the PMDG MD-11.To help you with the speculation, I am in the PDT time slice- so we're talking about late in the day for all of you in Europe, early afternoon for those on the US East Coast.Now- just because I like to keep my options open, there is a CHANCE that this release might push into Tuesday- I'll a bit more in about 8-10hrs.FWIW: The airplane is done. We are sorting out a few last minute details with the technical sides of a release like this - and we have only a few minor tasks left to complete.If all goes well- you'll be completely ignoring the forum, skipping sleep and taking your meals on the MD-11 flight deck by this time tomorrow. :-)For those of you staying in the Marriott hotel across the road from KLGB while waiting to pick up your new airplane, I hope the front desk woke you up from your required crew rest to let you know the above information. After all, if you REALLY want the true-to-life airline pilot experience- you must be sleep deprived at least 80% of the time.I'll be in touch in a few hours!

Sir Robert, Thank you for the update you guys are certainl;y going beyond the call for customer service. I shall keep my self ready and watching for the release no matter what day it is done. Good Luck to you guys and good luck to the servers as well. Regardless of where I am at with th emanuals I am gonna restart over once the plane is installed like most will I'm sure. I am on the cruise section of the FMS manual right now, read the intro and the APU section of the SYS manuls just for fun. I intend to keep reading threw the day and check for the release in between , so good luck:)Thank YouCapt.

>All very exciting, and I fear I'm still going to sit here for>the rest of the day pressing F5! :-jumpy I think it's safe to say you can probably hold off on the F5ing until around 12:00 noon PDT. :D It's pretty unlikely the release will happen before then, but any time after that is probably fair game!

and I feel a terrible terrible case of fever/flu/bad stomach/heavy vomiting/dizziness/delirium/bad odors is just about to hit me later this day. If you say to your co-workers that you suddenly have a very bad stomach, they usually take 10 steps back and kindly ask you to leave the office immediately...
