Better than a head made of bone

From a post by RSR just this morning...

The PMDG NGX is, hands-down the most complex system simulation of any airliner yet produced for FSX- whether you look at the detail of the airplane model, the cockpit, the behaviors of the FMS, or the way the aircraft systems are tied together into a living, breathing airplane- this simulation is unlike anything you have ever experienced in FSX.

Similarly to the JS4100 there is no way for backwards compatibility to FS9, the development methods in use are just not supported in FS9. You can believe what you want based on outdated information or you can listen to what we are all telling you which is the same thing PMDG has been saying to all of us for 18 months. The JS, 747-8, NGX and 777 are all FSX birds... believe it, argue it, I could really care less.While I am an avid FS9 guy I have an I7 2600K in my cart at NewEgg right now... The writing is on the wall, if you want "certain" releases you better become intimately familiar with FSX... Or be happy with what you have today and don't worry about the latest and greatest. Point it is a choice, you can't have your cake and eat it too just because you want it...Fact of life, just like I bought a 3D television with active glasses 3 months before the passive glasses versions were released. Oh well, I love what I have and life will go on all around me...

iFly has it's big SP2 and Features pack for its 737.

Speaking of the iFly, FS2Crew also has versions for the FS9 iFly 737.Button Control currently and in the very near future - Voice.In case any of you are wondering how FS9 add-ons do commercially, I can only speak for FS2Crew, but I was very surprised that the FS9 iFly version of FS2Crew sold as many copies as it did.Point is, there's still a good size market for FS9, which amazes me in many respects. It caught me by surprise.Cheers,

I can't believe there's still people joining this, arguing about something completely different than the original subject/disagreement. Incredible.

Yes in my case is known as the 'Skull'. What's yours?

Why doesn't someone just lock this thread.It's gone totally off-topic and degenerated into pettiness.Totally unnecessary.Martin

It happened to be new information from just this morning. Considering 90% of the posts in this thread have been you arguing with everyone else why are you surprised when someone posts new information to counter your position? It would be easier to change this thread to "Clum knows better than everyone so no one challenge him or you are thickheaded"Take a deep breath, this is after all FS we are talking about LMAO. You debate it like we are talking about going to war...

Yep apologies to the OP for this thread getting ruined. I shouldn't have kept responding to all the nonsense, but just can't believe the amount of people who are coming after me, first for making one completely accurate statement, then secondly for something else entirely.G7USL, regarding the original argument, if you ever do find those 'official announcements' that I need to catch up on stating there is definitively no fs9 NGX being made, then please do pm me a link and I will whole heartedly apologise to the entire forum. Everyone else, have fun arguing with yourselves about why there isn't going to be one.....that's got nothing to do with me.Psolk, the problem is, all I've ever done is to quote PMDG. Apparently it is everyone else who knows better than them. I suggest trying to calm your mob mentality and actually going back through the thread and reading properly. I've got no interest in discussing what you are talking about. I merely quoted an official, and still valid PMDG announcement, and have been torn to shreds for doing so.Cheers

Seems the rest of us are on the same page and have nothing to debate/argue about with each other. There is one lone abstaining juror preventing us all from going home!!! :Big Grin:All in good fun Clum, this is after all FS like I said. I learned a long time ago to laugh off 99% of the debates and arguments, not worth it.Have a GREAT day! And Yes Clum I can see your halo from here :( BTW, anyone else tried Shift2 yet? Maybe an FS9 race team? ;)

Fair play mate, I've definitely gotten too worked up over this. And SHIFT2....will be giving it a miss. No NFS since underground2 has been any good!

I am a sucker for any racer with a 1st person view, guess it is like my VC LOL.. My decision is still out on it but it feels very arcadey if that is a word...Just thought I would take this even further off thread for fun :)

Bryan, that is an interesting comment, and when you think about it and listen on the Ifly forums, the same thing echoes from there too.I am also one of your customers who bought the Ifly version, and will continue to buy for FS9 as long as the products interest me. This one also gets lost sometimes when companies develop addons without first doing a little research with the vey people who are actually going to purchase it.Depending on where you read there is not a market for FS9 anymore but I am happy that another major developer has stated that FS9 sales are holding up.Anyway I guess we will have the same debate when Flight comes out. :rolleyes:My FS9 has never looked better

Hi :( The Azores packages will be released for both FS9 & FSX, as we usually do.My best regards,Carlos Pereira.www.tropicalsim.com

Hi!Thanks for the VERY good news! :smile:Nice shots Stephen! :(

My FS9 has never looked better

Outstanding shots Steven! :(

There's something very sexy about the 757 in a drizzly UK!
