I'm interested to know what they do next. 737? Got it. 747? Have that too. 757? They've already said that they won't develop one out of respect for LDS. 767? Same story. 777? Perfection... 

 

I know that they're working on the 744v2, but I'd be interested to know what comes next in the Boeing line-up. 

 

But yes, I'd be all over a BBJ. There was a BBJ package for the original 737 when it was released for FS9. It was here in the library somewhere. I spent many many hours flying as N315TS. 

Would be nice to have an answer from someone at PMDG on this question...

**Bump**

What about the 900ER?

The last few updates have had zero said about the NGX SP/900ER, I too am waiting for the -900ER. It's understandable that the teams resources would be focused on the 777 and 747 however, these are new products that will generate more revenue. And I certainly don't think the planned update has been cancelled. Say what you will, but PMDG has never been shy about telling their customers the truth, even if the news was not what some of them wanted to hear (see the NGX for FS9 decision back in the day). If it had been shelved permanently, they would've said so. I'm passing on the 777/747 because I'm not a fan of longhaul flying. But I do understand the excitement both among the customer base and within PMDG for these two products. By all accounts they have upped the bar once again in FS. In the meantime, I can only assume that no mention of the NGX in the last few updates means the forthcoming SP is still in the pipeline. Where it fits on the to-do list? Only they know that, unfortunately.

Bumpity-bumpity!

Is it really asking THAT MUCH for an answer or at least some info on this???

I guess it really is asking too much... :sad:

BBJ and the ER models please! I would also buy the military models, both the ER's and BBJ's are very high on my want list.

Kristoffer, it seems that just getting an answer on this subject is going to be like getting blood from a stone, so I don't like our chances or else something would surely have been said by now.

Would also like these. Think that the biggest issue is coding engine performance and the aerodynamics of these aircraft - PMDG mentioned in the past that these parts are time consuming (see discussion about why the 200LR came first - it was because it had only one engine type to model).

 

I suspect we might see some incrimental updates for the 737 as they introduce new technology to the other parts of the fleet....and I'm sure there is a plan to return to these models...I think the development model will change to be a model of an evolving product line rather than development of one product and then another, never returning to cover old ground.

 

I can wait....I'm not going anywhere

Everyone keeps stating the 200LR only has one engine type..

But on the Boeing specification site it states that the 200LR Worldliner can be delivered with 2 engine type's

 

GE90-110B1
110,100 lb (489 kN)
GE90-115BL

Hoping for a 737-BBJC which is a BBJ combined with the C-40/700C's combi features.  Talk about the ultimate BBJ, thats like having a 737 sized PC-12.

Technically they are actually identical engines except the 115 version has different rating plugs so it puts out slightly more power. This is easy enough to code as all they do is increase the rotational speed to the new thrust rating.

 

Now the difference between the 110-115 and say the RR and PW engines is a much greater difference.
