13OCT08 PMDG MD-11 Release Planning Update

[N8015X 0]

Well it's already past 2:00 pm EST and nothing new. I'm sure they are working, but again, my bet is a release for tomorrow. It was said that it "might" be released early afternoon EST time, and that's where we are now. I had a hunch that it would be tomorrow because that's the lastest they said it would be released and they probably wanted to give themselves time. I think they will hold up to tomorrows release, but I wouldn't hold your breath for today. Just my opinion though.Chad

Hi, It would not matter to much considering it is not yet 12 PM PDT their time, I am not worried they will get it out when it is meant to be. I do half way agree with you though.Thank YouCapt. Eric Wade Joneswww.usairwaysva.orghttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/pmdg_trijet.jpg

PDT is 7 hours behind UTC currently, 8 hours behind me (I'm +1 hours UTC due to DST).That means at 2000 hrs local, it is just 1200 PDT. I'm 27 minutes from that time here, so I hope they hurry up!! :D :DI can wait until 1600 PDT! :DBest regards,Robin.

I live in the UK in the BST time zone, so by the time the MD-11 comes out, it'll probably be past my bedtime. I look forward to the addon tomorrow.Good luck with tying up the last details before release!!!

I've no idea what PDT time is, but what time would it be in Australia at the time you tentatively hope to be able to release the MD-11?

Actuallydude, I used th Zulu clock from the Avsim File library and remove one hour from the ZUlu time since the clock aligns every time zone acording to the local tim eon my PC. This clock is some what out dated but very usefull if you can remember it doesnot count for daylight savings time.I did also use this as well: http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Pacific/d/-8/javaThank YouCapt.

Pacific Time Zone is the timezone in which the west coast of North America, especially California, USA and Vancouver is situated in.I think you should have a spare F5 key handy! :)

The only problem at PMDG they do a great job but so expensive . Say if the 747 is 59.99 Euro then the MD-11 is around 70 Euro which is around 120 dollars, its like you are buying 3 Flight simulaotr.
