777 Series all the way! Fs needs a PMDG quality 777.Tino,

I wish we could see a PMDG 777, but sadly PMDG seem content not to act on the wishes of the majority of their customers.

Too bad, :(Tino.

Aren't we lucky! No way would the MD-11 have been developed in a 'democracy', and as for 'design by committee', need I say more?

Are you kidding me? From past observations, PMDG products spend MULTIPLE years in development, so I would say that their plate is somewhat full at this time to commit to producing a 777.Let's see here, they have provided me with a 73NG V1, 744, MD-11, and have in the pipeline a mystery A/C, a 73NG V2 and an A320.Not acting on the wishes of the customers, eh? Good one.

I am glad they don't listen to the "majority" of simmers out there. I have seen the sales statistics of an online retailer last year and the crappiest products out there actually sell the best (Airbus all-in-one packs and that sort, no need to name names.) We would never have had a MD-11 otherwise. It turned out to be the best simulation ever, ideal for short and long haul. I regularly use its freighter models for 1000 nm hops, and sometimes 4000 nm on the weekend. An ideal compromise and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I think once the 737NG is out in 2 years (fingers crossed), It'll be time to move on to the 787!

My point was that prior to commencing development of the abovementioned aircraft, it was made very clear that the vast majority of consumers wanted a PMDG 777 above all else. Yes, they now have a full plate. Yes, we also wanted those other aircraft but I imagine that most would have happily waited if the 777 was being developed first. The 777 is obviously the favourite above the others in development.

Yes the forum poll may indicate a preference for a 777 but that isn't a representative sample of the whole customer base. Its easy to look at these things in hindsight and say 'we would have happily waited for the 777 at the expense of another addon' i.e. 747-400. I think that developing another boeing long haul aircraft simply isn't viable, I'm sure it would be a great product, but as I believe one of the PMDG staff stated earlier in this thread, the 777 systems are similar to that other boeing long haul aircraft (I haven't looked at the 777 specifications in detail).This is why I'm a big supporter of the MD-11, it was a unique and highly enriching addon for the community and its important to give the customer base choice over a wide range if aircraft with fundamentally different systems, and I think when this mystery aircraft is revealed it will reflect that.

Apart frm the A320 all i see is long range aircraft again!! Myself aswell as other people have bussy lifestyle with work and kids to be doing long haul flights, so when we do manage to grab an hour or 2 we tend to fly short hops, now i know some of you may just say why not take the 747 or even A330, and thats your up to you what choice of aircraft you take. But dont you think there is enough long haul aircraft and a shortage of short haul aircraft for fsx?? Im not having a moan and im happy with what long haul aircraft have been made i just would like to see a few more short hual aircraft for the people who fly the short hops. Thanks Danny.n

I agree with Danny. We need a medium/short haul aircraft like the A320. Actually, the Airbus series is very weakly represented in Flight simulator and everyone is aware of this shortage. There does not seem to be any quality Airbuses ... yet. When Airsimmer finally releases their A320 series which will include the A318/A319 and A321, this will be nice to see. So PMDG should really try to have a high-quality Airbus out there. Other than the A320 series, I would vote for the A340-500 or A340-600 ultra long haul four-engine Airbuses AND if it is not asking for much, also for the remaining A340's, namely the A342 and A343, to have a complete A340 series. So I am almost evenly split between the A320 and the A340 series.John

Well youre in luck, becasue PMDG announced some time ago that they are doing an Airbus family, starting with the A320. I havent read anywhere that has changed.Peter Osborn

Judging from the quality of Airsimmers upcomming Airbus series, it would be pointless of PMDG to create the same line of aircrafts.And they have their hands full at this moment, J41, NGX, Dash8.

And exactly how are you judging the "quality" of an unreleased aircraft? You can make anything look good in screenshots and controlled-environment video presentations. There's a whole industry of addon makers that do nothing but this. I very much want Airsimmer's A320 to be good (because I want one to fly around myself!) but to "judge" it based on what amounts to marketing hype at this point is just silly. This is this company's first product, they have no professional reputation yet to back up a statement like that the way that companies like us or Level D do. Again, I very much do hope that we can welcome them into that exclusive club when they do release, but until then any statements about their aircraft being great are pure conjecture and we're not about to change our plans because of such talk.And again to everyone, we know you want a 777, just please relax! :(

Relax because we keep bugging you about it, or relax because we CAN relax because there's plans for one?? :(

:( I think that PMDG should create the aircraft that would seem to them to sell sell most.That way we can all enjoy their excellence for years to come.Even if they came up with a hot air ballon it would no doubt be the best on the market,there is no lack of hot air around to enable it to fly. I would like a red and white striped one. Thanks PMDG for your products so far good luck in the future. Avroanson

Personally I'd love to seem them build a Learjet 45. The sim world has only ever known the default model, which I have tweaked quite a bit for my full size LJ45 project.

hello everyone, all this talk about future interests is all well and good, but the bottom line is that the current developments are taking an age to come through, with Ryan at the weekend stating that the 737ng2 would still be in development for another six months at least and with the jetstream and dash ongoing, would anyone like to predict when the new aircraft everyone wants would become available, i shudder to think. the current developments should take the utmost priority over anything else. richard welsh.
