July 25, 201114 yr Great news, Robert. I've been waiting for this day to come for a loong time. Can't believe it's really going to happen. Eagerly looking forward to Tuesday's announcement and the next week of course I forget if I posted it or not somewhere earlier, but anyone want to play guess the ICAO city pair on the first tutorial? A hint would be nice. Is it somewhere where tutorials usually happens, I mean, US or Europe, maybe Australia, or somewhere else? Matheus Mafra
July 25, 201114 yr Damn! 2 days after I've left for a 10-day vacation in France B) If I could, I would cancel my vacation :( but I fear my wife and kids will not understand B) So... Regretfully I will not be able to buy it the second the NGX is released... But I will definitely the second I get back home :( ... Unpacking will have to wait then :( Thank you for this update Robert! Looking forward VERY VERY much to fly her. Regards, Frank van der Werff
July 25, 201114 yr thanks pmdg to make this happen, my dream always to fly a real aircraft, like the 737ng, now it comes true with that ngx! so excited, thanks guys, for all what you have created with that thing...no words! thanks! If you can´t read it, you can´t fly it. Real world B777F pilot
July 25, 201114 yr Fiddlesticks. I was hoping the release would be delayed until Boeing confirms the 737 re-engining specifications. :( Regards,Bob Quick
July 25, 201114 yr Captains-It is late.We are all tired.The working days around PMDG have been 18-20hrs...The beta testers are starting to get twitchy, because their reports are no longer answered cheerfully.Some of us (not me!) haven't showered or shaved in days...But...We have reached the point where we feel comfortable letting you know that we have placed a marker on the calendar.From where we stand tonight- we anticipate that the PMDG 737NGX will be in your hands sometime in the next 7-10 days.I want to be very specific in making the following clear: Our beta team is working EXTREMELY hard to find problems in the software- and if they find anything that gives us concern, the dates might shift slightly....But if all goes well over the next few days- we anticipate releasing the PMDG 737NGX on or before 04AUG11. (My birthday- if anyone cares! :( )This has been a LONG and very detail oriented development process. We feel that the PMDG 737NGX is the most detailed airliner simulation ever developed for use by individuals- and we are very confident in the quality, completeness and accuracy of the simulation.In short: We cannot wait to see what you think of the simulation once you have it installed on your machine!That being said- we are committed to ensuring that the product quality is of the highest possible standard on release day. This is a ground-up development exercise where NOTHING was brought in from previous simulations. This being the case- there are some things that we have seen during testing that require more attention- even though the simulation itself is working perfectly 99.9% of the time. There are a few items left in the "bug" category that concern us- and we are working on them. If we feel that a few more days might be valuable, we will take them. (I'm certain that will upset a few people- but we really do want this to be a trouble-free release!)So in conclusion: From all of us on the PMDG development team: THANK YOU.This has been a very long development cycle- FAR longer than any of us had imagined when we started. We are confident however, that in the end, the PMDG 737NGX will exceed your expectations in every way.We look forward to hearing your feedback once you have flown her!(PS: For those interested in pricing, etc: Tuesday. :( )Okay- back to work... there are still a few more items to be resolved!Can I be allowed to say........About time? rafman925 :(
July 25, 201114 yr It is a happy event. Thanks so much for all that work you have accomplished. Is that of happiness.Thank you to all the team PMDG.:( :( :( B)
July 25, 201114 yr I bet you guys are looking forward to a shower and some sleep, you've all done a fantastic job and I know I will have an aircraft that will be faultless and leave me speechless on the day. Well done guys! Cheers, Alistair Hibbert.
July 25, 201114 yr Daaaaaaaarling ? the airline just called. Our holidays are cancelled ! :( too much, too soon....
July 25, 201114 yr From where we stand tonight- we anticipate that the PMDG 737NGX will be in your hands sometime in the next 7-10 days.Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. So excited! And congrats PMDG for this monumental achievement! Alex Maxwell Gunther
July 25, 201114 yr Yes. Works for me. Give me 5 days to use it till school starts. Happy birthday to.
July 25, 201114 yr First tutorial flight i think will be between KPHX - KNRO. am i close?Wow, that woulda been my first, uneducated, boring guess, and yet it seems I was wrong. Good I came only now back to this thread to find that out immediately, without even waiting. Then I don't know. :(
July 25, 201114 yr But for cereal...Isn't there an Academy Awards for software developers? If there is, PMDG is the Meryl Streep. Alex Maxwell Gunther
July 25, 201114 yr Hide yo kids, hide yo wife cause they NGXing everyone out there! Dam! I can't escape that! Even on a flight sim forum!!!!It's OK, the NGX will get that outta my head... "I am the Master of the Fist!" -Akuma
