The Reduction Gearbox: Result of Early Rotation I hope this will spark a flare of motivation from PMDG on their Dash-8, I can only hope for the best! Thanks guys.

That's pretty far into the future. They still have the 777 to build first.

Not true. As fas as we know, the Dash-8 is coming first. "PMDG DHC-8: [...] This product is expected to fit into the release schedule someplace between the 737NGX and the 777." http://support.preci...t-schedule.aspx

I coulda sworn 777 was next. RSR mentioned moving people over to that project recently.

I hope the Dash 8 is first they just made a transport catagory aircraft we need a commuter now.

I just posted the pics because I thought that the talk of the Dash-8 went silent, just re-lighting the spark is all.

I believe the people who were in on the J41 will be one the Dash8, it may be other people on the 777. Who knows..... Steve

I want see Dash-8 VC preview screen..At last see picture during wait NGX SP1 and J41 sp2.

777 first I hope ;). And there is no certainty if they are even doing a Q400.. I certainly won't purchase the Dash if it's not the 400

As of now its the 200/300 series, majestic is doing the q400 so there really isn't any point for them to do the q400. I definitely will buy the 777 when its comes out but seriously they just did the 737 we need something different. Who knows maybe they will do both at the same time, they haven't confirmed anything as of now :-)

Looks like the J41 team is working on the Dash-8 and the NGX team should have started to do some work on the 777 already. Randazzo mentioned a few days (maybe weeks) before the NGX release that part of the NGX team had moved on to the next project.

hehe we'll have to see if PMDG will correctly model the "You're Fired" annunciator which Jamaljé's pictures elegantly described.

Striking the tail of an aircraft does not result in termination of one's job. Usually the first thing to be done after the report is made and the damage is inspected is to pull the FDR. Worst case scenario is that the CA and or FO will be drug tested followed by an incident report. It would not be unlikely if the crew gets a free trip to HQ to have a fireside chat with the Chief Pilot.

Hehe dont worry crosswind was just kidding. It's what we call that particular annunciator in my parts as a strange form of motivation.

I do also hope and keep fingers crossed for the dash8 Q400..
