02AUG13 - This should confirm the conspiracy theories...

At long last. I'll drink to that!

Ah, ATP — yes indeed, loved that sim. In fact I still have the manuals on my shelf (the brown one and the  blue one) since they're so much a part of my simming history....

 

But back to the present, and the 777: those manuals are going to need half a shelf, I reckon — I'll order a giant economy pack of printer ink today......    ^_^

 

Cheers,

 

Brian

We'll it's around the anniversary of the NGX isn't it?

 

Remember it well, I was watching District 9 on DVD when it was released.

Capt. May you include the famous "coffee cake" recipe in the EFB....? I would love to enjoy some while I am globe trotting in this wonderful bird. I would even sign an NDA if need be.... August is shaping up to be a really good month....

Thanks for the update.

 

I'd say don't bother releasing until mid-Sept when I get back from my hols. I'm sure the other people here won't mind waiting for me ;-)

Shame I'll loose that as I diverted to the older BKK! (-;

RSR, how about the 747v2? Already some news or first preview pictures availble? Thanks in advantage for your reply.

[WotanUK 289]

It's going to be September isn't it, you're doing it deliberately just to spite me, i'll be on holiday and thinking about the release!  :(

The JS41 made FSX crash on exciting the sim, when released, needed SP1

 

The NGX made FSX crash on exciting the sim, when released, needed SP1

 

3rd time lucky? I hope so.

Ted-

 

We have a long standing tradition of not selling products until-and-unless they are finished.

 

The whole pre-sale thing doesn't sit well with me from a developer-customer relationship standpoint.  When a developer starts taking money for a product that isn't finished, it puts an excessive amount of pressure to push a product out the door to satisfy the demands of those who have "invested money."

 

While we love you all dearly- you guys are NOT the ones who should determine when a product is finished... 

 

We should be the ones making that decision- without any outside influences.

 

Frankly- a product is either complete or it isn't.  Anyone who wants to sell you a v0.5 In-Development product is just trying to take your money while hoping you won't notice the garbage you are getting in return.  If you look at the history of our tiny little marketplace- you will notice a disturbing trend wherepre-development products going up for sale somehow never seem to fully live up to the hype or the promises.

 

Heck- this stuff is tiring...  If we already have your money- going through the final push that we are in right now gets significantly less important, don't you think?  It is just human nature to ignore the ultimate goal if the reward has already been received.

 

At PMDG we would rather conduct our affairs the old fashioned way...

 

Thanks for the explanation, Robert... 

 

Sound like all have been working quite hard with this project for a foreseeable time... 

 

Just out of curiosity, what is the development cost of this T7? 

Or is that a 'factory secret'?

That happened to me a year ago, luckily with the 737NGX that I know inside out. I was established on final with low visibility.. but couldnt make out the runway till 500ft, just to realize that FSX was released years before VTBS was officiall open. I had to divert and flew manually all the way to the old airport. Was fun! Thank God I didn't have to land in a rice farm

 

So... please tell us about your experience with the 777!

I really hope it will be release sometimes during the 1st or 2nd week of August.

 

That would be great, but today is the last day of lthe first week of August.  So I am hoping that it will be the second week.  :Praying: , :Whistle:  :Party:

Nooo! not the second week, end of the third week like Friday 16th. I'm off to Copenhagen on Tuesday and my whole holiday will be me just wanting to get home to fly the T7. AKA: Ruined  :lol:

Any day is fine. Curious what the final download size will be?
