I think PMDG should just do every single modern Boeing and Airbus airliner.Imagine the sheer profits, you'd put every single aircraft developer that concentrates on either Boeing or Airbus out of business.Overland PMDG, Fly into the sky! World Airlines!:D

Well, that is a given.At the end of the day, PMDG being a business will make the decision based upon which future product will give the greatest return. So far they have produced the B737 and B747 which must be the most desirable aircraft for FS, and the B777 was the next logical choice. Popular aircraft, greatest return. The MD-11 had already been started by Bill before he - and his team - joined PMDG. The point I am making is that, the aircraft PMDG have choosen is going to make the most profit, and I fully expect the A320 - or an A330, or both - to happen after the B777 because of this.

[2]Sadly another vapourware.To much promises, to much talk and nothing...We've paid for a buggy "project".

Air Simmer reminds me too much of SimSoftWorkshop and their A-310 which, although complete as a simulation of systems, FMC, etc., failed to produce an aircraft that could automate. The endless bugs and lack of attention to detail left them high and dry eventually shutting down their website. Their product was ridiculed but they produced a technically accurate rendition of the A-310.

any ideas if airsimmer will complete the advanced ths year?

I would like PMDG to make A330 rather than A320 !

It would really be amazing to finally have a PMDG Quality A330... As I already said, I am a Boein fan but the A330 is so incredibly beautiful, for me the most elegant Airbus a/c, also widely used, and is suitable for any medium to medium long hauls. Also has all the exciting systems so we could fully enjoy a modern and complex airliner, and I am pretty sure that PMDG would be able to create a superhigh quality A330. I wish they'd take it into consideration. According to this topic, quite a lot of us would be happy the A330. Blasphemy:-)

yeah i agree.also the A330 will be in production for a while to come. i think it could pass the 1000 mark in the next 8 years

Well... i love the A330, but the A346 is by far the most elegant A/C that Airbus produces. So long and with a very nice detail that makes this plane a little diferent to fly. Inertials, the aircraft has the same FBW logic and the same autothrust as the rest of the Airbus family but because of it

over 8,000 views and 90 replies, the majority favouring a A330, and a few saying A340-600 (me included aswell!!!). hopefully pmdg takes this into account for there next project after the T7. But at the min i really wanna know what variants will be included in the T7:All (200/200ER/200LR/200LRF/300/300ERThe longer range (200ER/200LR/200LRF/300ERThe standard (200/300)Personally i would love to see all of them but that may be alot to ask for!! anyways back to the A330. i really hope we will see this after the T7. it would be nice to have the competitor as well as the Boeing!!! there will be an advanced Airsimmer for fsx (probably in 10000000 years like when the Boeing 877-900SLR is out!!) and with the Aerosoft advanced coming in the summer maybe a A320 is not what PMDG customers need.

I "gave equal opportunities" to all the developers in the beginning but after trying and buying many and also reading reviews of many, I slowly found myself being very selective, comparing everything to PMDG, as an "industry" standard. I only have their 737 NG so far but reading reviews can almost be as useful as testing for myself, and now that I am going to purchase my new PC soon and my first new addon will definitely be the MD-11, I am SURE that I will be absolutely satisfied. I know. And there's just a very few (flight sim add-on aircraft related, of course) company that I can buy from, feeling the same, knowing that I'm buying something perfect. And this is what I call quality, when you can buy something without the fear of disappointment. As for me, only a very few developers exist, and only their products are an option. Whatever PMDG releases DOES exist for Flight Simulator (as for me), and a few other developers, and the rest I am not really paying attention to, until they prove they are worth paying attention to. And this is why I'd be very happy if PMDG would consider an A330, because despite several attempts, I don't think there is a perfect one out there. I love a few things about the exisiting ones but for some reason I don't feel that they are perfect. This is my opinion, other's opinion of course might be different. Also, for the same reasons, I don't mind if the NGX will be releases in June, September, or later - if this is the way to keep up the PERFECTION, the quality, that I was talking about, the fact that when I'm buying a PMDG product, I know that I am buying something that WILL work and IS perfect - I don't mind how long it will take. Maybe it's not even the knowledge only, but it's also the professional manner, the attitude, the aim for perfection. So no rush guys, quality over quantity! PMDG rules:-)

I'd also go along with the A32X family (not just the A320). Those aircraft are everywhere. The variation in livery really is endless. They can fly short and far. Couldn't much of the programming done for those aircraft be readily adapted if the widebodies were to follow?In regards to some people's distaste of the Airbus in general:I remember there being a bit of confusion when PMDG announced the MD-11. People asked why this aircraft and not another Boeing, it's pretty much going out of service, only 200 built, etc. But PMDG finished it and released it, and even the most jaded detractors of the MD-11 have discovered its distinctive character and grown to love it.I see the same thing happening if PMDG were to build an Airbus. To build every variation might be going a bit overboard though. The MD-11 for example has over a dozen variations between fuel capacity, MTOW, flap vane structure, long-spike and short-spike GE engines, cargo, combi etc. But these are things most simmers don't notice or care about. Not to mention the poor modeler having to compile a model over a dozen times each time he changes something.

I am just wondering what's the story with the Aerosoft Airbus...

due for release in the coming weeks

aerosoft airbus is for new pilots only

aerosoft airbus is for new pilots only

Not strictly true. It is focused on the pilot experiance so dont expect the co-pilots alternate air vent re-director to work as per manufacturer specifications, and it wont have a complete and accurate FMC systems simulation, and nor will you be able to control the temperature of the rear cargo hold, but I think it will still prove a challange for both novice and experianced simmers alike.

I would like to see the A380 after the Boeing 777. Yes, another long hauler, but that plane is magnificent.
