OOOO, my god!!!! I can't believe that some people are complaining about smoothness of the flaps!!!!! REALLY!!!!!

Guys the wings are there for lifting the plane in the air not for passengers to sit on it and watch every f****ing movement of the flaps and ailerons!!! You should get inside in your cockpit, that's why it's there! I can't believe that is actually some people that can complain about PMDG products, I like to see their work and compare it to PMDG!

Some enjoy creating wing view videos or just watching wing view replays.

 

In my opinion, this "complaining" is valid constructive criticism. Regardless of how superior a developer is, it should not become immune to criticism. Especially considering PMDG's philosophy—ultra-high immersion and realism—criticisms of small realism detractors such as the un-smoothness of control surfaces should at least be read and considered.

 

I fully appreciate PMDG quality, but shielding PMDG from criticisms and suggestions is only detrimental to its growth.

Can't wait for further developments as it progresses through its testing fazes. In the mean time, I will be spending countless hours with the newly released with Bioshock infinite.  :lol:

The original BioShock was a big disappointment after the intro and first level had been completed. It could have been an amazingly atmospheric gaming experience, but ended up being a glorified arcade shooter.

I think the smoothness of the primary and secondary control surfaces is a big deal, since we as passengers are used to watching them work when we have a window seat near the wings, I always find the smoothness of the motion of the real deal interesting, because I'm used to the "laggy" movement we have in the FS Engine. It's like those old racing simulators where you used your keyboard to control the wheel, and there was no dampening of the inputs, so the front wheels went from full left to full right immediately after pressing the keys. Definitely killed the immersion factor for me when I was watching the racing replay.

Will the PMDG 777 have a 2D cockpit?

 

*sigh* No, it will not.

Why the 777-200LR was chosen in the base Pack and not the ER which is far more common and in use?

the 200LR as of today is hardly in use.

The 200ER is far more common...

only 58 total orders/use are for the LR as apposed to 422 for the ER

I am happy with the models to come, but which liveries are in the base pack for the 777-200LR and 777F? 

I hope for AirCanada and Emirates (-200LR) and AeroLogic, AirFrance, and LAN Cargo (F). 

 

Any hints from Captain Randazzo?

Kinda agree with Akila. Over 400 -200ER and only 50 -200LR. Though any of the T7's is good for me.

Probably the same with the NGX release, just have the PMDG colors installed and have the other liveries on their website  and seeing there is only 10 -200LR operators I'd say most of them will be ready upon release.

You shouldn't see any laggy movement in FSX as long as you set control sensitivity to maximum and control deadbands to the minimum your hardware will allow.  Using a sensitivity less than maximum introduces a lag between your control input and the response of the corresponding control surface in FSX.

I may be wrong Kevin, but I don't think putting the sensitivity up fixes a lot of issues, and I run my calibration through FSUIPC

It will reduce lag in the flight controls.  Any other lags in FSX are due to the design of the addon concerned. If you calibrate in FSUIPC I don't know if this bypasses FSX sensitivity settings. If it doesn't I strongly recommend you have it set to maximum.

 

You can see the effect of FSX control sensitivity in external view on the ground.  If set to max the control surfaces respond immediately to control inputs, just like the real aircraft.  Reducing sensitivity adds lag to the response.
