Dear PMDG team,I am just wondering (sorry if this question already was a topic), as you are the best software engineers for boeing aircraft are you planing to make the 787 Dreamliner? If yes, do you have any release date?Thank you and keep it up with a good work!

PMDG probably will make it, but since the 787 isn't very common right now, they will most likely wait a year or two to decide this. The will want to get as much info from Boeing as they can, and I doubt Boeing would release all that information. PMDG will also have to make everything like it is in the Real World like Flight Dynamics, the Flight Deck, and all of the systems on the 787, so they would, but they can't anytime soon. Sorry if I confused you, because I sometimes confuse myself. :( Also, be sure to ALWAYS put your name on your post. If you don't want to everytime, than put it in your signature. Just an FYI, cause the staff here will basically jump on ya for not doing that, since it is in the forum rules.http://forum.avsim.net/topic/245586-you-must-sign-your-full-real-name-to-posts-to-use-this-forum-posts-without-names-will-be-deleted/Andhttp://forum.avsim.net/topic/240151-pmdg-forum-rules-read-before-posting/

I am just postulating here, and thus inserting my own desires into that,but once PMDG releases the 737 NGX and the 777, which seems to be the two aircraft most people have asked them to make, the 787 will then become the obvious choice to make, as that will be the aircraft people will really want to see done in the PMDG standard. I hope the 787 will be their next project once this current "phase" of development comes to an end. I just hope and pray they dont waste any time developing an Airbus.

Pmdg have a good relationship with Boeing so I expect so . Probably start developing late next year if they do

The question is, how many aircraft will PMDG produce for FSX. If they start working on a 787, it could be for MS Flight already.

Very good point. But I think the transition from FSX to MSFlight will be a long and painful process, more so even than FS9 to FSZX. Plus we dont know anything on the possibility of cross platform compatability. I read somewhere that MSFlight is not going to be a fresh product, but built on FSX, so that is something to keep in mind. If I get confirmation that addons that worked in FSX will work in MSFlight, I will be a very happy pilot.

I truely hope MS Flight will not be based on FSX code.. That would be a disaster. Agreed it would be cool to copy paste our PMDG products from FSX to MS Flight, but FSX is poorly written to say the least. Its time to start from scratch.+1 on the 787, would love to see that from PMDG too!

So would I be If Microsoft can pull that off, without sacrificing new features, I am all for it. But alas it's the same again and again. We invest a fortune to make our FS worthwhile and then a new version comes out. The past offerings of MSFS offered only incrimental improvements over their predecessors. I am still hoping that MS Flight will be an epic reboot for FS with vast improvements. Maybe they will offer something like "FSX compatibility mode" as a DLC.We'll see.

Sure it is. It "is" completely unflyable. It "didn't" sell over 1 million copies. <end|irony>

How do you not understand that popular doesn't = flawless? There are 'popular' politicians - need I say more.Well, I guess I probably do, so where to start.... well, FSX runs as well as a one legged dog and is about as stable as an Irishman on St Patrics day.Oh, and the fact it's not really got much in the way of competition helps also.

I really like to see that happen. Since ever the NGX AND the 777 has been in the pipeline, It would be a great deal to everyone if PMDG takes on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Just being able to vision the project to come to light would make everyones day. I have Abacus Fly the 787 Dreamliner and is decent in standards but have to remember their was some lack of information. :(

I cant remember where I read it but I was sure that MSFlight is built on FSX with improvements to make it utilize DX11, the modern Windows environment, and other things. MS Flight is not going to be a brand new relaunch. Microsoft didn't like where Aces was taking development of FSv11, so they booted them out, hired people who would do what they were told, and took over, and Microsoft had gone and tried to rebrand it so it will appeal to those who want a game, instead of a very steep learning curve sim, as I think many saw in FS9 and Fsx, knowing full well that those who are already very serious simmers will know that MS Flight will not remove but only improve on the ability to make the sim as real as it gets.

Would I be right in thinking that you have a preference for FS9? It is just that I seem to have heard most of those arguments before. In fact I heard them first when I still used FS9, so that makes them pretty old and very tired.

FSX runs perfectly fine out of the box. It is when us hard core simmers then start adding mesh, next textures, UTX to up the urban autogen by 5000% to make it look like we are flying into a real city, add 500% more AI traffic using addons, 10 times the cloud coverage than the default, and add on aircraft that are probably close to 1000 times as complex as the default (thinking PMDG style here), we start to run into problems, like memory errors, black screens, audio problems, and slow frame rates.But on modern machines, with the tweaks added to the cfg (like Aces knew where PCs were going to be in years time and set it up in a way that FSX could be changed to take advantage), FSX runs as stable as any other computer game I run on my PC.

I agree, my last install I did pretty lazily and after patching it didn't even add my full list of addons for about a month. It ran soooo great haha. I then added just REX2 and a few days later my PMDG hangar.Question for you or anyone, why do some people refuse to install SP2 for FSX? I have seen a few posts here from time to time people not wanting SP2 installed. The fps increase I get with SP2 is too good not to install and just don't understand or know what I'm missing.
