July 12, 201510 yr I just edited the original post to state it's from the JULY-AUGUST 2015 issue of PC Pilot. Interestingly enough he also has this to say in the same answer... RSR: [...] We will be hard at work wrapping up our first major airliner for X-Plane. emphasis on 'major'. is the DC-6 a 'major' airliner?...hmmmm! :ph34r: I think that was alluded to somewhere else as well. That the DC-6 was more a 'getting to know X-Plane', type experiment Chris Smith
July 12, 201510 yr Would be really happy with it being a 787, 767 or 757 don't mind which. Steve Whiterod
July 12, 201510 yr Just build a 767 and be done with it CASE: Fractal Terra Silver CPU: AMD R5 7800X3D 5.0Ghz RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 GPU: nVidia RTX 4070 Ti SUPER · SSDs: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB M.2 PCIe · PNY XLR8 CS3040 2TB M.2 PCIe · VIDEO: LG-32GK650F QHD 32" 144Hz FREE/G-SYNC · MISC: Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Joystick + Throttle Quadrant · MSFS2024 · Windows 11
July 12, 201510 yr I recall one of the PMDG guys saying that the 757/767 most likely won't happen since those airplanes are slowly "dying out" - which I'd have to disagree with but oh well... With kind regards, Bogdan Misko.
July 12, 201510 yr Author I don't know about you, but I could quite happily look at this for hours on end! HUD - check. Massive MFD's - check. Imagine if they included fully working EFB's? :wub: Neil Andrews. Fight or Flight - YouTube | Twitter
July 12, 201510 yr ha, fair point there Ebs...I read somewhere that lots of moving switches put a strain on FPS. I think I remember hearing there was a limit where performance rapidly deteriorated. I wonder how much of a killer 7 screens, plus everything else would be. Mind you, it's only the same as the A350 and A380. I wonder if PMDG would model the fact they seam to catch on fire every other flight Chris Smith
July 12, 201510 yr Commercial Member Hey wait, what about the Woodpidgen? I'm silently still waiting myself. But I know better than to ask for updates or a release date. Kyle Weber (Private Pilot, ASEL; Flight Test Engineer)Check out my repaints and downloads, all right here on AVSIM
July 12, 201510 yr I still stand by my point - given the tight relationship between Boeing and PMDG, and the fact that they are aiming to be a major airline training partner, I'm convinced the 787 is the logical following aircraft. A 767 remains possible, but I'd bet on the 787. Also, whatever it turns out to be, first day buy.
July 12, 201510 yr I was looking at that picture and thinking also about a efb but that and circuit breaks would probably break fsx but how about a 787 for xplane they are already doing the DC6 with circuit breaks in x plane so why not do a 787 and quality wings wont do anything for xplane they are probably going to stick with fsx and p3d and max is right they do have a tight relationship with boeing so i agree a boeing 787.

July 12, 201510 yr well i didnt see one number the 4 .... what about a 747 classic ???? They said they won't do any old stuff...and we're already getting the -400 and -8. Those two should be a nice contrast to each other. With kind regards, Bogdan Misko.
July 12, 201510 yr We need a quality, in depth 757 already. The 757 is still in service with lots of airlines and a very common aircraft to see in the skies. The only two produced for FSX right now is the Quality Wings which is good but it is a little dated and is only 'lite' when it comes to systems and the Captain Sim version is, well, Captain Sim (need I say more?).
