Anyone know what the next PMDG aircraft will be since the 777 maxed out the heavy jumbo jets?......it would be nice if they could put out a real quality prop or even turbo prop,  I have the JS-4100 and it is a fantastic dream of an aircraft,  it would be nice if they could put out a high quality but much larger prop aircraft,   is there another aircraft in the works or has PMDG stopped putting out aircraft after the 777?

Hi

 

Do a forum search. There's two new aircraft in the works. They still have the T7 service packs and the NGX service packs as well. Then they are doing a new 744 and 748 an a DC-6

 

Regards

Thats great news!!!....2 props I could just love and another aircraft type I had been waiting for to come out instead of the 777,....the 744,    I did not buy the 777,  I actually am extremly happy with the 737ngx,  but I will buy all three of those aircraft given they put them out with photo realistic cockpits and accurate flight modeling,  I will grab those up real quick,  I hope you are correct with your information that those are really next in line for PMDG....much appreciated!

I think you misunderstood. They are doing the 747-400 and 747-8i or whatever Boeing calls it now.

 

And a DC-6

 

They are not doing a Hawker 748 which I think you thought is what I meant.

Next up should be the 777 service packs, there are a couple of bug fixes to patch there.

 

737NGX is also getting a service pack which I believe will add some new features as well as patch a few minor things.

 

The current Boeing 747-400 is really really old. It's getting an "update" in the same way the 737NG for FS2002/2004 got an "Update" to 737NGX, as in it's a completley new product.

 

777-300ER is going to be an expansion pack like the 737-600/-700 were an expansion of the 737NGX -800/900. Most of us hope it comes with GMCS (Taxi cameras) and so on.

 

Alot of the work above requires lots of flight data/avionics modelling and not too much Virtual Cockpit/fuselage visual modelling. The DC6 project was made to keep the Visual modelling/texture guys busy while the avionics guys have their work cut out on the 777 and 747. The DC6 doesn't have FMC/GMCS/MCP/complex autopilots etc, so while the guys that do that kind of work finish the 777/747, the visual model experts get to make a DC6.

 I just can't wait for the -200ER & -300ER. I'd also like to see a 737BBJ sometime soon.

 

I think the 747 V2 is at least a year and a half away, of course it's a guess, I hope I'm very wrong and we get that sooner.

What type of things will the 737 ngx service pack add?

I want the Wright Flyer. But I'm afraid its systems are far too complex for today's coding technology

I think that's why the woodpidgeon is first, easier to code for them to learn for the Wright Flyer.

Its been a day. Can I start another " What's next thread"? I dont want to search.
