PMDG is still alive!!! We have a future.

Now that the NGX has gone Beta, Hows the 777 and Dash-8........JK! Well done guys, Looking forward to it!

Dear Robert,If I tell your wife the NGX was worth the time that her husband invested in this project, will you tell my wife why it is that I will spend the next few months sitting behind my computer?Thanx for all!

The NGX has actually been in Beta for months.

Yes, That is indeed probable. I was just trying to be funny with the T7/Dash-8 reference. :(

Awesome news.. I ordered some new hardware to get ready for her last night, can't wait! ---Werner Rafteseth

Yeah time passes a lot quicker when waiting for something if you keep busy with school, work, or other hobbies than continually checking this forum for updates.Sean Campbell

Hmmn,I wonder if I can convince my wife to let me buy it in time for my birthday on the 18th? Surely I'd be let off the hook for an ear-bashing then? Well done guys... great effort to get this far. Whatever you do, don't let M$ try and sign you up to develop the aircraft to include in the upcoming MS Flight!Cheers,David

I have been absent from the flightsimming world since 2006. I always thought that this would be the product to bring me back, and it's great to hear that the release is getting near.As a software developer myself, I would love to hear more about the development process if you don't mind sharing with us. I find that side of the story quite interesting. Perhaps in a seperate topic of its own?I'm very excited about this product. I wish you guys the best.

:( :(

LOL :(

You need to see a doctor.

That is THE big news of the week end LoL

Captains-This is going to be a short note tonight, as we are all a bit busy at the moment...I thought you all would be interested to know that the PMDG 737NGX has entered the final phase of pre-release testing.Last night we began the process of distributing build 82.2732 (yes: 82 major builds and 2732 updates...) to both the Tech Team and the Wide Beta Team. This will be the first of a few updates that we give them, with the intent that we should have the last of the kinks ironed out in very short order, allowing us to move into the release phase- which is what we know you are all waiting for!Over the next couple of days, we are going to take some of the restrictions off of those who are involved in this phase of testing so that they can give you their first impressions of the NGX in their own words.This has been a very long development cycle for everyone involved, but we feel with this build we have a "nearly release ready" airplane that is not going to require a significant amount of tuning to reach release. In order to quell some of the (truly uninformed and at times outright ridiculous) conjecture, I am comfortable telling you that we will be setting a date on the calendar for release within the next couple of days.The purpose of this phase of testing is to accomplish the following:1) Serve as backup to the development and tech team testing to be certain we haven't missed any obvious problems.2) To put as much flight time on the airplane as possible to help verify that all is well.3) To give us a wider experience with a broader base of install machines to allow us to verify performance and verify that we do not have any installation or run-time issues.To put in succinctly: We are in the home stretch!Now: A couple of ground-rules just so that nobody gets their feelings hurt:1) We are extremely busy on our end as there are literally thousands of tasks that must be accomplished in preparation for a successful product launch.2) With that in mind, we may/may not have time to give you updates on how things are going. There have been a few folks creating high drama over the schedule of updates. As always- we update you when we have something worth sharing. Lack of updates simply means we are too busy, or we don't have anything new to add. (Besides, if any one of us can find :30 free, we are spending that time with our wives/children... The workload is that high in final testing.)3) You are going to start seeing some changes on the website and here in the website as we prep for release. 4) Don't worry- the release won't happen in the middle of the night without some warning, so don't stay up all night hitting CTRL+R on the website hoping you will be the first to know. :biggrin:5) At some point in the near future we will update you on the anticipated sale process, pricing, etc...Okay- I think that is all for now- I'll be back with you along the way- but most definitely when we set the release day. (This will likely be set over the next few days- i'll let you know!)
