Big Respect for PMDG!

[Andrea1 6]

Hi to all,As the most of you me too was awaiting forward for the new 737NGX to be released and I've seen that someone is beginning to lost his patience because the release date hasn't been announced yet but I'd like to do a my personal consideration: I'm an "old" dog with more than 20 years in flightsim but also nowadays with very poerful computers vs. the 20 years ago ones etc. etc. there are very few good simulator add.ons (I means as real as I get in the real plane )on considering only jetliners I could count them almost by using my fingers (i.e.all the PMDG products, Leveld 767, Leonardo Maddog and few others) all the others being "toys" also if always declared by the producers "tested by real pilots etc"So it's not a question on "when it'll be released" but how good it'll be after being released.You should say daily Thanks God to have given to us a so seriuos software house like PMDG.Just an example consider the "old" B737 I tested it by regarding the real Continental B737 performance tables and I've that always matching the real values! This is the real "added value" of PMDG company!Best RegardsAndrea Buono - I

Agreed. They don't get enough credit when they're working at their hardest, which is run-up to release.

Too true, they really are one of a kind...

Amen to that friends, without PMDG we would still be flying 737's looking like this: Patience is a virtue, and there is so much to enjoy within the FS world while waiting for the NGX tot come out (..just bought REX 2 and boy...the sim looks al new again)Regards,Arjen Nederstigt

As my signature states, I too have been around FS for far to long, and still pinch myself when I think about how far the quality of what I use to simulate flight now days. I owe alot of my enjoyment to compaies such as PMDG.Cheers guys

Great statement! One thing 737NG for fs2004 doesn't do well are derated take offs. It seems like it has a little bit less power than expected. The rest of the plane es wonderful, and moreover, remember this plane was made for fs2002 and nowadays it continues giving some of us a lot of fun.

HAHAHA... and I thought Chuck Yeager's jet simulation on the Apple II was something. :(

I loved that Chuck Yeager sim. "It's a great day for flyin' !"

Just curious where you are getting your data from?JackColwill

I have fond memories of the Yeager sim when I was a child, playing it on a Apple II (I think that computer was like $8000, a sign of the times back then!) Remember that SR-71? I would fly due east from the airport, and return to the the airport at an insane speed a few minutes later, now that is what I call a flat world.I spent alot of time on the Yeager game, as well as Oregon Trail and Test Drive. Ahh memories!It is amazing how far flight simming has come.

PMDG is a commercial company (producing excellent add-ons by the way even though it seems to currently has issues handling its customers expectations on time ...). What God has something to do with that ??

[Andrea1 6]

I thanks God to have given to us a so seriuos commercial company, you know there are a lot of business companies selling FS addons but the most part of them are "rubbish-softwares" or in the better of the cases, "toys" having few addherence to the real thing.BTW I'd tell you that episode: On last days I've been posting on another forum regarding another fs9 product simultating the B737 ans making observations that, about me, according with Continental B737 fligth crew operating manual performance tables and Ryanair B737 QRH performance tables the fuel consumption of their product in a low striaght flight (5000 ft no flpas and slats V=Vref40+70=minimum drag) was wrong the real being at that consitions (ISA 135000 pounds 214 kias) about 1125 kg/h eng (2480lbs) the simulator being 1800 and more (4080 lbs) . Never had I made them! I was charged of "flawness judgement" not being a real pilot....What could I have expect by a 60$ program? I've to consider FS "limits" (I've made notice that other simulators, without never call them with its name (PMDG 737))matches perfectly all the performances tables (so maybe there were "mental limits" my post being changed the title in "Andrea's fuel problem" I had to look at "big picture" not going to see the small things etc. etc. now I've always been kind and polite and I've been writing in aviation and software forums from 20 years and my criticism have always been accepted in the sense of improving their product but that time I'd never thought to see so verbal violence against me...now it's the last time I've wrote in that forum but also by looking at this I understand the big value of a software house like PMDG (and the big work made at that time when PMDG B737 was released problably it was "at the edge of the technology": I decided to use only thet, of course until NGX, to study and practice the B737 for my next fixed base simulator session)CiaoAndrea Buono

It is a screenshot of my very first 737 experience, back in the days of the MSX computer. The program was called SIM737 (only 6 characters were allowed..) and had to be loaded from tape. Man, we've come a long way since then..Arjen Nederstigt
