To the PMDG crew: what are the chances of an update for Split Scimitars and the LED landing/taxi lights? The Split Scimitars have become so common that NOT having them is unrealistic. Even if they're purely visual, I believe that the majority of NGX customers would rather have split scimitars without adding the performance updates than not have split scimitars. Maybe add the contact points for the tips (those crosswind limits, tho).

 

Also, so many of the NG aircraft (LN #5555 and up) are equipped with the redesigned LTRTL (LED Landing, Taxi and Runway Turnoff Lights) that I believe many users would appreciate this update as well. I know that TDS has updated their external model with these, so it's doable. I do understand that it would also require a VC update (two vs four landing light switches, as the retractable landing lights have been removed. The nose taxi light has also been removed, replaced by the wing landing lights at 50% power).

 

An airliners.net topic with some technical details, photos, and a few NG pilots is located at: http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/tech_ops/read.main/364609/

 

GolfCharlie232 (Live From The Flight Deck) also has a picture of the Landing light switches in the cockpit on his Facebook page as well as his Flickr.

 

Thank you! I look forward to the chance to fly with some knife-like winglets.

+ 1 for me

 

I would love to see the Split Scimitars on my NGX (even without the updated performance). They look awesome

+2 - I'd love to see Scimitars for the NGX , even if it is a paid, solely visual upgrade.

a paid, solely visual upgrade.

STOP! Don't give them ideas!!

I would like to say please on this one. especially the Scimitars!

I'm sure we're pleading to deaf ears, but I'd also pay for a visual upgrade of the winglets.

Unfortunately I think you're right.
