April 1, 201412 yr It'd be the real deal........only PMDG. Ryzen 9 9950X3D @ 5.6Ghz + Corsair Nautilus Water Cooler - 64Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000Mhz - ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16Gb - Samsung G9 Odyssey 49 inch 5120x1440 Monitor - ASUS Crosshair X870E - Win 11 Pro - MSFS 2020 - 3 x NVMe M.2 1Tb - Fractal North XL Case "Tertia Optio, Latebra Factum" Steve Summers
April 1, 201412 yr I'm still cautious, it's April 1st, but the fact that ASN offers a legitimate weather radar, based on real clouds, leads some credence to this possibility. PMDG's stance all this time was that they could not see the point in modeling WX radars because the radar would be depicting fake clouds/precipitation based on some random occurrence in the simulator. Since ASN offers it's own radar that reads real precipitation/cloud data, it makes sense that they may license the technology to be integrated in the 777. But for this to be true, wouldn't the user be required to own ASN to use this realistic radar? I'm a bit puzzled, but in the back of my mind I have always thought it would be great to merge the ASN wx radar into the PMDG 777. I agree, if for no other reason than to have a way to avoid those disturbingly LOUD (wake up the neighbours at 3am loud) encounters with hail at FL340 when you fly through towering CB, like I did one night while live-streaming a flight from Stockholm to Dubai. That hail noise was a good 3 times louder than anything else I had heard that whole flight! And yes, I was at FL350 odd when I encountered it!

April 1, 201412 yr Cruel joke! Still, I'm waiting in line for the SP1 and 300ER. As a common meme would say... Shut up and take my money!
April 1, 201412 yr As much i would love this to be true....looking at the date...hmmmmm Clinton Royston Fernandes. Vabb-Mumbai India.
April 1, 201412 yr Worst joke ever... I'm sad... David Zambrano, CFII, CPL, IGI I know there's a lot of money in aviation because I put it there.
April 1, 201412 yr Wow if this is a joke then I am really sad. Can anyone confirm that a weather radar isn't an April Fool's Joke? Ivo Dimitrov
April 1, 201412 yr He said he rounded the corner into a new month. That makes me think he wanted us to know it was April 1 at his current location. Could be a joke. On the other hand, Active Sky Next has changed the game and maybe we will get WX Radar. Time will tell.
April 1, 201412 yr Naaaaw it's legit. They just posted it on April fools to tease us a little. Isn't that right? :Praying:
April 1, 201412 yr Oh the cruelty. The first words out of my mouth when I saw that screen was B... S..t. Definitely an April fools joke that won't be beat. Maybe Robert will make it up to us by giving us a real update tomorrow. Mike Keigley
April 1, 201412 yr Haha that alternate and remaining fuel number. Creative I must say! Best regards, Stefan van Hierden
April 1, 201412 yr Haha that alternate and remaining fuel number. Creative I must say! I just caught that too. Mike Keigley
April 1, 201412 yr :LMAO: :LMAO: :LMAO: Usually some other poster will make a joke like this, but coming from PMDG, that's classic LOL. Kind regards Werner Gillespie CYB2400Proud member of Cyber Air Virtual AirlinesAVSIM Staff Member
