Manuals tomorrow, to be followed by the release a few hours later.......... :(

Only if life was that good...........Even if it was to be released tomorrow though, I am sure not as many would buy it because we are busy learning how to prevent the engines from melting down on the J41 ;)

Haven't really paid attention to the J41 stuff, but why are the engines burning up? Are people introducing fuel too early in the start sequence?Paul

I guess people didn't realize they actually have to work to get this plane going. :(

Paul,The startup sequence in the JS41 is automated, but there are several things that a pilot can do to burn up the engines:He can pull them too deep into reverse while the condition levers are in taxi. B) He can exceed the EGT for more than a few seconds. :( He can try to set takeoff power while the props are still on the start latches. :( He can fail to read the manual. :(

Not that I would ever do those things. :(

Paul, I suggest you grab a copy of the J41 and see for yourself why the engines are burning up ;)....Seriously though, you are missing out!I have to confess, I have melted a couple (hundred? No, too early!) engines myself. But that's part of the learning process

Thanks, but I'll politely decline for 3 reasons:I'm not big on little planes (no offense to Jetstream pilots, as it's bigger than anything I've ever flown)As impressive as this VC seems, I'm still not crazy on the VCI'm still running FS9. But I'll almost certainly be running FSX by the time the A320 is released.Paul

No problemo!We all have our preferences :( Regards,

HAHA i have done everything in this post! :) But honestly, why should there be an A320?? i can't find anything in your linked post about it? All the best from Austria, Alexander Roithmair

A few months back, PMDG announced that there would be an A320 after the 737. No further details have been released though.Paul

yeah but this was release of the JS41, followed by a DASH-8. Another DEV Group working currently on the 737NGX - what comes after? We don't know.
