PMDG 737 NGX: The View Forward

Featured Replies

When are we going to see a screen-shot from FSX? I'm curious about it. Not about modelling. Because we can not be able to see that much quality on this work - everything is limited @Flight Simulation as you guys have already known.. And as far as I remember, the releasing date was Mid-2010, is it? Sorry if I misremembered.Thank you.

Once you accidentally pushed the wrong button it would get out of sync and require reloading the flight
That's exactly the kind of things you won't see happening with the SDK. It also allows to read data from the aircraft so perfect sync all the time :(

I think you misremembered, the info on their site says "Right now, (as of 20FEB10) we can only say that the PMDG 737NGX will release during 2010."That would be before 1/1/2011

No, it did say mid2010 for a while. I believe that it was altered after the release of the 747-i, when their website was restyled.

Hi,I also have question regarding the upcoming new 737.Will the NGX also offer support for the hardware made by CPFlight (MCP/EFIS/COMM/NAV/ADF/XPNDR) and FlyEngravity (CDU)? In other words, does the airplane offer native support for this hardware, or do we still need drivers made by another company?Jon

If it will have SDK, which they say it will, then you will still need the interface between PMDG and the hardware, just that it will be very simple to build. You could even build that yourself. As opposed to before when the drivers needed to be created by someone with extreme inside knowledge of the PMDG software (an ex-developer).

Yeah the idea here is that the hardware interface companies themselves will be able to make the driver because they'll have all the info they need. The "ex developer" in question certainly will not be creating any interface drivers for this product as it contains absolutely none of his code.

Hi, Correct me if i'm wrong, English is not my native language ... does it mean that CPFlight hardware won't have any drivers available ? -- a virtual 737 pilote under some stress at the moment -- ;) Louis

Clearly it's because we've cancelled the NGX and decided to give into the demand and make a Woodpigeon instead.

I've been wanting to say something along these lines in other post relating to the Woody wood pecker plane. "Who really gives a damn, why should PMDG waste resources on such a piece???" But i've been nice until now, thought it was better suited here. Thanks Ryan for giving me a opprotunity to say such with out insulting anyone personally.

You lost me there.Why wouldn't he be able to make interface drivers for the new 737? As from what I know, he usually receives a unit from CPFlight, and then makes the driver. If a hardware developer can make drivers, why wouldn't anybody else be able to do that, as long as they have the needed hardware?Or are you referring to the fact that the current drivers that are available will not work with the new 737? In that case it makes sense that the "old code" will not work with the new plane.Jon

Yeah, more the 2nd thing Jon. I suppose you're right that anyone can use the SDK to make a driver. I don't see that happening here though...
