Trying to look for that emoticon that shakes head in disbelief. lol

 

The topic title is "is there any change of having the engines back". The answer was clearly stated numerous times no for the reasons its not real life so why would it be in the sim.

Maybe  the  topic  should  have  been "why  did  pmdg  remove  the engines".  Until  a  Rw 737  pilot  can confirm  or  pmdg can state  why they removed the engine  whether  its for what everyone  is  saying or   for  some other  reasons

To find out if you should be able to see the engines seems trivial to me: create a faithfully accurate 3D model of the aircraft (which PMDG has done), then place the camera in the flightdeck looking back, and see what it looks like.

​

​Anyone can try this out. You can even get a finished model to play around with: http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-model/737-600/

Dave, et al,

 

Yesterday afternoon, the modeling team went looking at this and found that we did indeed remove the engines from the 600 VC accidentally.

 

You can BARELY see them...  and only by really pressing your head against the window of the airplane- but they were there in the initial release and subsequently disappeared.  Best we can figure it happened about 18-24 months ago in our internal tracking and it happened because of a scripting problem during the model builds.  Since the 600 is the only airplane with the engines, it was accidentally left out of the process that we use to construct all of the model pairings at build time.

 

We will add them back in to a future update... but I can't really say what/when that will be.  (Don't confuse installer updates with product updates either- just to be clear.  We are continually updating our installation logic of late- but the core product isn't changing...)

 

I'll see what we can throw together- but i can't promise you when as we are swamped in 4 engine airplanes at the moment.

 

In the mean time- I think a few of you should take a look through this thread and ask yourselves why you were so hard on the poor fellow who asked the question in the first place?  Did the issue really require such emotional position taking?

 

Probably not.  Something to think about.  He had a question and it was a valid one.

 

Be nice to one another.

Exactly what the Boss said.

 

Thank you kind sir for clarifying this.  Arrogant presumption doesn't always win out.

Hi

 

Just wondering have you "wideview" enabled in the cfg file ?

LOL!!! Why on earth should someone pay 200$ on a 3Dmax model when with 80$ i buy the PMDG add-on?!?

Hmm... because PMDG doesn't have any engines? ​  ​  :Applause: ​
