FlightBeam just released KSFO! It looks absolutely fantastic. You can download the free trial just like and FSDreamTeam product. I highly recommend taking a look. It's a top dog scenery add-on. Very nice!

Folks,I'll chime in about the jobs comments. I do not work for PMDG full-time (Although I do put in more than a full-time's work into PMDG) but I have a job outside of PMDG in the construction industry. Let me mention this, the construction industry is unpredictable, there are often scheduled dates of completion but RARELY do any of the projects complete on time. This is as a result of several factors that would be out of contractors control, examples are building code challenges, Architect changing plans, complicated than expected jobs and too often, there are major additions that were not factored into the deadlines. A job I'm working at, its a restaurant at the new Vancouver Trade Convention Centre, they were supposed to be open Summer of 2010, that got delayed due to numerous design changes and challenges with the building. A new deadline of October 2010 was set, nope not done yet. 6 weeks ago a new deadline was established as an absolute deadline, March 1st 2011, well its today and guess what? NOT DONE. Now the developer has decided they are not going to set up a new deadline and instead the restaurant will open when it is ready and passed for occupation by the City of Vancouver. Sounds similar? You see, every project we do in construction or within PMDG has its challenges, it may go smoothly, it may not, you never know. Every project is different but let me tell you this. We at PMDG are looking forward to releasing the 737 NGX to all of you! No doubt about it, we are excited and each day brings the NGX closer to release. You won't hear it from me but Robert... All we ask for is patience, it will land at the nearest airports around the world soon, it would be nice to release it today but would you want to fly such a beautiful aircraft and then suddenly find bugs that affect your enjoyability? I think not...The team has sacrificed a lot of their time, especially with families, friends, their spouses - I have sacrificed a lot of my time for many months working on the external model, adding more and more detail to increase the wow factor at the expense of near exhaustion. Vin has worked his tail off on the VC and other tasks, RSR, Dr. EV everybody on the NGX project all have worked extremely hard and continue to do so today.We hope that all of you understand how much time and effort we are putting into the NGX, it is a 110% grounds up new build of the code logic, the modelling techniques and many more. It isn't fair that there are those who criticize us for not releasing when we said we would, it is NOT fun for us to come home from a long day's work outside of PMDG and see all the negative banter. Folks, yes we know how excited you are! Patience is all we ask for, we are working our tails off, its a big push to the finish line right now, it will be worth the wait! you shall see...Until then,
So with all the work that has been done to the plane, and all the work to be done on the plane, do you have some sort of estimated timeframe until completion? How long does pmdg take to text the plane for bugs etc? I suppose this is similar to asking how long a piece of string is. I would have thought hough tthat if bugs are found while testing, fixes would be quickly implemented in the design/code so other aspects of the plane can be tested/rectified.

Ha yes well I thought that might happen. Sorry about that. Im not a developer so I cant really relate to the time things take. But surely, when PMDG looks at what needs to be done they must have SOME sort of time frame???

Thank you so much for this news!!! Since upgrading to FSX, i've missed flying into FlyTampa's AES capable airport. It was my second most frequently visited airport behind Honolulu (my real life home field). SFO, I'm coming back!!! Just as soon as Oliver finishes updating AES...

They did make a time frame over and over; like "it will be released in 2010" and "We'll post some night shots this weekend". Look what happened. As Jason said, they could look at what has to be done from this second on, have an idea of a time frame, and it will probably be wrong because something will pop up. That is the exact reason they don't want to give a time line. They're working as hard and as fast as they can.

There will be less bugs when its released than the your spelling mistakes!!!

Wow I must admit, after looking at the post again, there are a few errors. My apologies....

Hey forum I have a problem and hopefully one of you guys can help me figure it out, I use Windows 7 Ultimate with FSX along with FSInn and FSCopilot on my computer and every time I close FSX a couple seconds later I get a messgae saying the Flight Simulator stopped working. I know it's from the FSInn program because eas soon as I install it this error message appears. Now it doesn't really affect anything but it just gets plain annoying and fills up my error report summary in Windows. I also know it has nothing to do with Windows 7 because the same thing happend to me with Windows Vista before I upgraded. Any suggestions please? Greg Selenski
I know this doesn't help, but I had/have that same problem. Using Vista 32.
