Hello:Very nice work on the MD-11. Perhaps the next project you should consider is the 717 as it and the MD-11 use a common avionics system, also, while we're on the subject of Tri-Jets, I believe an L-1011 Tristar would be a very welcome addition to the community. Hope I've peaked your interest.

I'd very much agree with the idea of a 717 sim at some point. I'd like to see a PMDG DC-9 too for comparison!The L-1011 is a technically very interesting airliner too. Very advanced for its day with an early FMS, direct lift control, etc.It will be a long while before any such project could see the light of day with the products already announced to be developed and released first.Kevin

L-1011 = Licensening issues with Lockheed.

So you've guys already thought about it. Hmm. What other little tricks to you all have up your sleeve.

>to the community. Hope I've peaked your interest..............................^^^^^^PIQUED your interest. :DThe 717 is a neat aircraft, I think.RhettFS box: E8500 (@ 3.80 ghz), AC Freezer 7 Pro, ASUS P5E3 Premium, BFG 8800GTX 756 (nVidia 169 WHQL), 4gb DDR3 1600 Patriot Cas7 7-7-7-20 (2T), PC Power 750, WD 150gb 10000rpm Raptor, Seagate 500gb, Silverstone TJ09 case, Vista Ultimate 64ASX Client: AMD 3700+ (@ 2.6 ghz), 7800GT

If I could talk to someone at Lockheed for you would you consider it?

I would think the 717/MD-90 would be the next logical choice being no one has done a good one and that too would be ideal for short hops in VATSIM.Michael P.

How about a Boeing 777-200/300

>How about a Boeing 777-200/300I second that. Thats what I have been dreaming about. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE pmdg.

A T7 would be great along with a 717. Both are Boeing so the chance of seeing them are pretty good. IMO I don't think we will see the A320 that PMDG said they were going to make only because of licensing issue. Clearly PMDG has a deal with Boeing to get information about their airplanes. I would personally rather see a 717 first since I think it could be "easier" than a T7 since they just did the MD-11 which has a very similar cockpit to a 717. Well I guess time will only tell what they do next after the 737X. I have plenty of time to wait since I am an armchair pilot and always will be.Jared

>If I could talk to someone at Lockheed for you would you>consider it?It's all about connections...:-) KFreire.

I bet it will be like 8 years before the t7 is released, if they ever announce it. Don't worry pmdg your addons are great and I would buy any that you put out.

Forget it. The 737NX is next on the list.John Veldthuishttp://www.virtualpilots.org/signatures/vpa475.png

Sorry guys, but minor aircraft like 717 are probably not on the head of the list for someone like pmdg who puts the effort in to make a truly superb aircraft esp in the FMC area. Probably better for the freeware market, or a small commercial producer making something that "hasn't really been done yet". The 737-ng, 777, airbusses, and 787 make the most sense for pmdg right now.

I personally hope that they do something retro at some stage in the distant future. I have to say that I feel it when I go to spot aircraft nowadays and all you see are quiet effecient airbuses, boeings!! We can't forget superb aircraft like the 722 and the MD80 etc. But I fear that relatively soon the only place we'll get to enjoy these birds is in the sim. I think that any aircraft no matter what it is, whether its a favorite of yours or not, that is completed to the exacting standards of PMDG will be a joy.George
