June 1, 200917 yr Commercial Member I am STOKED about a J41 from PMDG! You guys are the shizz when it comes to high-end airliner sims... applying that skill to a smaller commuter sounds like an excellent combo to me. Put me down for one of those whenever it rolls out of the hangar.

June 2, 200917 yr The J41 is the technology testbed for the NG2.0, so you can imagine how incredible the NG2.0 is going to look- as well as the products that follow the NG2I don't hate that J41 again. :(
June 2, 200917 yr I'm going on vacation on the 1st of July for 6 days. It would be incredible if we got to play with the J-41 before July.JB <----------- Crosses his fingers

I was playing with the E170/190 last night and it just feels too easy. Plus the docs are woefully inadequate- on the lines of the WW2 POH from a fighter! If you've ever seen one, it's a pamphlet vs a manual, and almost a comic book at that.I'm really looking forward the 737NNG2.0 (new Next generation? and a mouthful) I'll be on one in November returning from OrlandoI can guess the following- no 2d panels. Which means no issues with wide vs std aspect displays, and probably the ability to boost performance a bit too, though I love the MD11 2d panels. It seems that I can never get the VC views quite right- between zoom and head position, I feel out of sorts. on a 25" monitor no less.I'd really like to see the Erj/E1709/E190 done the PMDG way along with a 777 or even a 787 now. The Dreamliner is getting awfully close to reality. I'm on E145's next week (UAL Express PVD-CHS and return- don't tell Rob!)
June 4, 200917 yr Well I started using the VC's lately because to be ready for the J41 - I must say, that a Zoom Setting of 0.5 seems perfect for me on a 22" Widescreen Monitor @ 1680x1050When you keep the spacebar pressed you cann move your mouse and go to all viewspots you want. It is not too bad - I kind of like it :() best regards, Alexander Barger

June 4, 200917 yr Looks really beautifull, I'm not use to fly IFR using the VC, but for this one, for sure I'll give a try!I dont know if you are open for suggestions, as you are almost finishing the product, but will be really great to see a external fuel/route plan, something like the maddog2008 one. I found that really usefull.ThanksMatheus Barbosa
June 5, 200917 yr IFR in a VC of the quality of the recent PMDG releases is a doddle! All the hours I have in the MD-11 are in the VC, in fact the 2D panel only ever appears when scrolling to the VC in FS9... I never use the 2D in FSX...WRT FSX... now I have actually got it installed and running, roll on the J41. Mouthwatering cockpit views... I don't care if hardly anyone flies the plane scheduled in real life these days... Time for a Jeremy Clarkson chorus of "SWEEEEET"Andrew Andrew Entwistle
June 6, 200917 yr Looks nice. Dash 8? Which Variants? Majestic already has a great Dash 8 Q300. A PMDG A330/340 would be great though :)Anthony
June 6, 200917 yr I have the Majestic Dash 8 q300 and lets just say it isn't even installed on my machine right now. I think PMDG would provide a great q300. I also know many would like to see the q400, but I am hoping they go with both the 300 and 400 because the 300 is widely used as well as the 400 and I think if PMDG made both, they would be the best out on the market. Personally I would rather the 300 but I think there are many others that would rather the 400.

The DC-9-10 and -30 look much nicer than the -50 and -80. The 767-300 and -400 look really ungainly when compared to the 767-200. And the same goes for the 757-300.The only stetch that doesn't look out of place is the DC-8. I think the -60 and -70 series look fantastic.Nick

I'm crossing every finger and toe in hopes that they are doing the Q400 and not the early models!
