October 3, 201312 yr PMDG today announced the soon to commence BETA testing of their eagerly anticipated B777 and surprised everyone by announcing that the next version of their venerable B747, Version 2.0, will follow shortly thereafter. Both will be released within a month or two of each other. any news about it ... ? B)
October 3, 201312 yr No official word from the over-lords at PMDG. We'll have to wait and watch. I hope once T7 polishing is done we will hear something about the 747v2 and the NGX additions/service packs.. Until then just enjoy the NGX and T7. As PMDG would say, it will be done when its done. -Raven HarrisIntel i7 980X @ 4.43GHz | ASUS Rampage III | Corsair 6GB DDR3 2000MHz | 3 EVGA GTX280 | Corsair 1200 Watt | Intel 510 SSD (RAID 0)PMDG - 747-400/8iF | MD11/F | BAe J41 | 737NG 6/7/8/9 Hope ER/BBJ|777LR/FFlight1- Cessna Mustang
October 3, 201312 yr There was no official timeline for 747v2, definitely not month or two after 777. --Peter Fabian
October 3, 201312 yr I believe the Aerowinx PSX will be the reference, when released....

October 3, 201312 yr J.C. I believe that the PMDG 744 V2 will be nothing at all like the PSX. To start with, PSX is not based on FSX at all. It is entirely written in Java, takes object oriented programming to such an extreme with TCP/IP interfaces that any part of it can be run on any computer anywhere. It also includes a tutor station from which virtually any scenario can be created, including two remote pilots in a cockpit. It relies on an interface program to drive FSX scenery. I cannot understand why anyone would want a follow-on product from PMDG until the PMDG 777 is completely mastered. In my case, that will be many months of utter enjoyment. The PMDG work on the B777 is nowhere near completion, from my understanding, what with the addition of the -300 models, additional engine types, CPDLC, electronic flight bag and weather radar. And who knows what other surprises are still to be delivered?

There, I feel a lot better for having that off my chest.

October 3, 201312 yr I think the 747v2 will be a bit further off, probably to next year. This is based on Ryan's earlier comments in the Ops Center thread. I'm guessing the -300ER will be available at around the holiday/new year period, the 747v2 sometime next year, and then the -200ER. (I'm hoping we'll see the 777-200A but that's a bit of wishful thinking) I hope they'll include the taxi cameras for the -300ER as the 777 is lacking a real "killer app" compared to the NGX's HUGS and Terrain mode. As for the DC-6 I have no idea what's going to happen to that project.

And here we go again. Based on an earlier quotation, an innocent party politely asks a question and gets a rude response. If you don't like the question then simply ignore it. JON GREEN
October 3, 201312 yr To start with, PSX is not based on FSX I know - I'm a PS1 user :-), since it's release, long ago :-) and looking fwd for PSX... In the meanwhile, really enjoying this PMDG 777, of course ;-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
October 3, 201312 yr Apologies for not recognising you, JC. Likewise I was a PS1 flyer for many years. I was converted to the PMDG 747-400 when it was new, and I had not to worry about DOS complications any longer. Now I have converted to the B777, so probably won't be returning to the B744 any time, although I do miss The Queen.

October 3, 201312 yr Apologies for not recognising you, JC. No problem :-) I easily recognized you from the PS1 forums :-) I used to use the PS1 with FS9 and then FSX for the visuals, thx to those mighty apps by Jeoren, Ivan et al... Good old times ... Ten I also bought the PMDG 744, great model of course!

October 3, 201312 yr Yes I would. I'm sticking with the T7, come what may. Cheers, Richard Intel Core i7-7700K @ 4.2 GHz, 16 GB memory, 1 TB SSD, GTX 1080 Ti, 28" 4K display Win10-64, P3Dv5, PMDG 748 & 777, Milviz KA350i, ASP3D, vPilot, Navigraph, PFPX, ChasePlane, Orbx
