Boeing 787 in PMDGs Future?

[compilot16 13]

It would be great having some high fidelity airliners that are relativity new in the rw market but

 

give it ~10 years.

 

The above is very true

The big issue is just waiting for enough of them to get into service that we can assemble a test and tech team to help with the process. We're not going to do it unless we can do it right, which means up to the same standards as the NGX and soon the 777 and 744v2. That's probably still a few years off.

That's good. I would rather have a complete, high-quality aircraft over a shakily based rendition of an aircraft.

Very noble Ryan, but I'm just about living on borrowed time now. B) Isn't 40 enough http://nyc787.blogspot.com/ ?

 

Just make sure you fix that generator issue, and we can be flyin' in NO time!

I agree and understand your position but can I say something. IMO 787 will be a holy grail in terms of design challenge. I was looking at how the cockpit works, and just the panel itself consists of many innovation which would be a challenge for PMDG developers. Their ND has built in GPS map tracking running in background. It would be quite interesting to see if you guys can take on the challenge (*cough* I am hoping this might incite them to take the dare lolzz)

That makes sense, Ryan. I think I will be enjoyin the 737, 777, and 747 for a few years to come, so I can wait for a 787 that meets your standards. Boeing is my sentimental favorite, but I'm sure you get a lot of Airbus fans asking you to reproduce their favorite type. I personally would love to see your team do a popular regional jet like the CRJ-700/900 or Embraer E-Jets.

 

Best of luck with the remaining work on the 777 and Happy New Year!
