That's some good news there! I hope that after the announcement that there won't be another round of updates, but a final release this time.

Andre-

 

Well, since you presume that in 15+ years at PMDG we have only done things that were previously possible, and since you seem to come at me with the presumption that I'm largely just a bleeding idiot who is not up to the challenge, I keep my answer simple and to the point so as not to accidentally damage your presumption that you and everybody else that has ever wandered into this forum knows more than me and the other members of this obviously untalented team...

 

Again- completely ignore the 15+ years of innovation- and pay attention to only the following:

 

I have not said that it cannot be done. What I have said (in many and various ways..) is that it cannot be done realistically, without creating a method to put precipitation and thermal activity into known places within the simulator that also mesh with the simulator's weather engine seamlessly and then working that information backward onto the cockpit display.

 

So yes- it CAN be done....

 

But it cannot be done as an effective use of PMDG's development talent in such a way that it makes it economically viable or worthwhile to do so...

 

I've spent a career using weather radar, and the garbage foisted off on this community as "weather radar" really isn't anywhere close to being useful or accurate.

 

Now please excuse me, I'm going to go back to my Flying for Dummies book and see if I can't figure out how to determine if the 777 has two, three or four engines....

 

 

AJ-

 

It is kind of odd, isn't it? I ran for office and didn't have my words so closely parsed as happens here... Then again- I lost. Maybe nobody noticed I was talking. :lol:

 

I've promised over and over that we WILL tell you the release date the moment it is set and final... You guys won't wake up one morning and find it released unless you miss the forum for a few days and I happen to tell you during that period...

Lol still keeping it quirky! :-)

Lets try this again,

 

Captain Randazzo is around the forums a lot more often, this is a good thing for those who like to fly wide-bodies.

Attention, attention ! Rob just made post no 380. That clearly indicates PMDG's next project. (sorry, just had to take this opportunity)

[captain420 3,099]

After the 747 v2 I really hope PMDG does a proper 787!

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... That was supposed to be a secret.

PM to two developers in the VATSIM-Germany-Forum is sent. Let's see...

[anthony99 7]

Looks good! Can't wait for the release! 

[captainsazzman 83]

 

*calendar checking for the next months*...*checking how much time my other projects will need*...I will ask some developers of other weather-tools if they would like to help me. If I get the help that I need to save some time (I do not want to spend much time with writing functions that already exist in other weather-tools for downloading metars from the VATSIM-server etc.), then I will start this project, although it might last many month or even several years.

 

Let us know on the forum when u start

[SST 2]

I cannot wait for this airplane to come out!  Great job guys!!!

[A320FAN 370]

Me too ! The 777 is my life...

This might be awfully specific, but will the ACARS Accept/Reject/Cancel buttons on the glareshield work? I suspect that you can push them without any functions, since there's really no ACARS in the FS world.

 

In a dream world the plane could have inconsequential messages randomly pop up, like a gate change message or a crew message. Or you could use the ATC request page to send a request that doesn't have to send the message anywhere particularly. Or the sim can just randomly approve or reject the requests
