First, your signature is hilarious.  And 45 minutes?  That's on a good day...

(I used to live in Centreville, so I know some of that pain - Reston now)

 

Second, being in Manassas, you're a lot closer to PMDG than you'd think (have a look at HEF one day  :wink: ).

 

Third, yes!

I'd love to see a PMDG 757/767 in the future.

 

Well, I can cross over 95 on the Franconia Pkwy in about 45 minutes if I go I66 DCT Fairfax Cty Pkwy DCT Franconia Pkwy.  The George Mason monument isn't that much farther and Google Earth tells me PMDG is practically in the shadow of the monument. Maybe an hour unless it's morning rush hour?

 

Which side of HEF? The Dulles Aviation side (where I earned my PPL), or the "Terminal to Nowhere" side? :He He: I eat at the McDonalds on 28 there every other workday (I work at the elementary school just the other side of the Prince William Bypass from the airport), so I might have to take a bit of a detour after lunch tomorrow. :Thinking:

Please tell me that you have a healthy salad when you eat there every once in a while LOL.

I end up at this exact establishment once in a while and the salad is the only way to go.

 

Cheers,

What is this thread about PMDG location? You're not planning a sit in in front of their house until the 767 is released are you?

AN225?

old, yet leaving service planes wont happend. (its been said somewhere on forums) so after 777 and 747 will be finished, maybe 787 will come, if not boeing then maybe embraer or bombardier C-series.. why not? (altrough embraer with 1000 units build seems like a wise choice) or.. maybe... deep inside.. some bizjet?

Yet another Boeing? Boring... :Yawn:

 

Remember how much fun the MD11 was? 

 

... still IS  :lol:

 

I Reckon the 787 would have more chance of being made than the 767 or 757, although the 76-75 would have such similar systems who knows.....

Usually a grilled chix club with no mayo, 10 nuggests, regular fry, and a diet coke.

Nah.  Too many other things to do than camp-out on their doorstep. - ESPECIALLY as there's no indication it will ever get considered.

And yet... they ARE working on a DC-6.  I'd say that counts as an "old, yet leaving service" airframe.  So they don't reject projects based on whether the airframe is still in widespread use or not. We don't know WHAT they'll choose down the road, but at least I've voiced my preference.

Gotcha.  You had me confused there for a moment because the George Mason monument, to me, is the little thing next to the Jefferson and 14th St bridge.  The thing you're referring to is actually the Masonic Temple (George Washington Masonic Temple, oddly enough).  My brother lives over there, too.

You know, I don't actually know, which is kinda sad.  I should...

 

I took my first flight in a small plane there.  My old neighbor (who I reference all the time in posts, because he used to dump all of his aviation stuff on me when I was a kid) took me up in a 172, rented from Dulles Aviation back in 2000.

 

...and be nice to the Terminal to Nowhere.  It might bring people somewhere in the future.  It just might!

Though the flightdecks of the 767 and 757 are similar to enable a common type rating, the systems behind the panels are very different. For PMDG, who deal in great detail, this would be an almost totally different simulation.

The 787 is much more similar in terms of the systems to what we've done (777, NGX) than the 75/76 are...

Hint-Hint

I don't know whether that was a hint or not, but I would buy a PMDG 787 without a moment's hesitation, as I am sure would many others. But then I was determined not to get the 737 NGX, to hold out for the 777 instead. Now the NGX is basically my favourite plane to fly, so I won't rule out getting a 767 from PMDG were they ever to decide to make one.

 

There are quite a few airport developers who have made a sale out of me purely because of my love of flying the PMDG 737. I've learnt my lesson about making up my mind

I liked the idea of the PMDG 767 (mainly because the LevelD 767 feels outdated). I also wanted PMDG to do the 757 (the best I know currently is QualityWings 757 even though they ended support with SP3 but it also works in P3D V2 despite support not being official). Somebody should make a poll about whether PMDG should make the 767 or not develop one (757 can be added to the poll).
