Says PMDG's R.S. Randazzo (Today, source):

I saw a few folks inquiring about the ER packages: I would anticipate these to arrive around the US Thanksgiving holiday. (Subject to change!) We might close the gap here a bit, but we will also be moving certain members of the team to the 777 in order to get that project moving at full speed, so we'll just plan for a few months between each of the NGX expansion packages. (Whoa... Did he just mention the 777? Yes, yes he did.)

Cheers, - jahman.

Kinda 3 years too late

so we'll just plan for a few months between each of the NGX expansion packages.

Wasn't that a 4 to 6 weeks before? However, with the current hotfix strategy and the 'success' on generating more problems with each new one, I doubt that it's a good idea to start moving resources. Planning is a nice thing to do, but reality tends to spoil the process from time to time, as seen.If SP1 rules out all stability problems and also the system detail bugs, I stand corrected though, with pleasure. Other plans. Final SP for the MD-11, SP2 for the J41 maybe? The waiting time there already is measured in years, just sayin'.The T7 is a good choice, but didn't they already announce it to be in the pipeline with the Dash 8? Again, good choices.

They hinted about the t7 and the dash 8 a long time ago yeah. Not exactly an unofficial announcement at this time.

What makes that unofficial, it comes right fro the man on top. I think that's as Official as it gets!!

He also said no 2D panels, they won't be getting my money.

Kinda 3 years too late

Not really if it means they do a VC and system depth like they did with the 737-NGX.

What makes that unofficial, it comes right fro the man on top. I think that's as Official as it gets!!

Technically "Official" would be via a specific Press Release. Side mention in a forum thread ranks with "overheard at a bar" Cheers, - jahman.
