I recently have been involved in testing and implementing a series of new data management programs at work and have started to see just how much work goes into building programs and menus. I have spent a few hours code gazing with the IT guys and girls (Oh yes we have them!!) and am continuously amazed at the logic code and adaptive restrictions for certain menu items. I can only imagine what that looks like when tied into a 3D model.

 

So once again, Thanks PMDG for building such awesome aircraft!!

You'd probably faint if you saw the FMC code - it's nuts.

You guys should do it in assembler you know... Just for fun :P

Yeah I messed around with programming a bit a few years ago and that was nothing near the level required to get an airliner simulation to operate properly, and of course, as Ryan said, the amount of time and code spent and written for one item (like the FMC) must be pretty insane!

 

Now take that across to making the systems behaving correctly, draining the right amount of current etc, just unbelievable! I agree with the OP, thanks Ryan and the PMDG team for your incredible efforts!

 

Kind regards
