My bad because I did not see any product image  like the 767 below that, in this link:

That makes more sense than the previous link.

Only PMDG product that I ever owned. B767 for Fly! Long time ago.

I had their products for Fly! They were way ahead of their time. Customer service was great even back then. I've purchased pretty much all if not every one of their products since day one and been happy with them all.

I still have a copy of PMDG's very first product - the operating manual for the Aerowinx PS-1!

Hang on. I'm getting a tad confused here. The OP's question was of the First PMDG product. and most answers here have alluded to the T7. So if you have a manual for the Aerowinx PS-1, which you state is the 'very first product', is that the same as the T7 or is it a different aircraft?

Aerowinx is a 747 simulator, their first "product" was a manual for that. Not an aircraft

Which is where they got their name from

Interesting. I always thought the 1900D was the first. At least it was the first product that I ever purchased from them. Parts of me wish they would release it for P3D. The 1900D was the first "complex" commercial aircraft I cut my teeth on in FS9. My first flight was from Denver to North Platte, NE. Good times.

I used the B1900C for "pure IFR" practice. It was really exhausting to do a 2 hour flight tuning VOR's and flying radials like old school pilots used to do. Pretty fun as well though, and you got a feeling of satisfaction after you landed.

Hello Guys, Many thanks for all your answers. So it does seem that there is some confusion on what what the first product ever made from PMDG for flight simulation. It would be very nice if PMDG could actually step in and give an answer

So to sum up from reading this thread:

 

Their first "product" was a Manual for Aerowinx's PS1

Their first "simulation" overall, was the 767 for Fly!

Their first "simulation" for MFS was the 737-600/700

 

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

EDIT: It was apparently the 757 for Fly! their first simulation.

Jayme, I purchased their 757 for Fly! in January 2000 and their 767 in August of the same year.

PMDG began by creating aircraft manuals before they made their first add-on. The Aerowinx Precision Simulator version 1 which was the ancestor of today's PSX, was an amazing product. (It was designed to run under MS-DOS!) It came with an excellent user manual, but the manual was not really intended to be a standard FCOM that we are all used to.

 

PMDG put together a full operating manual, with takeoff and landing performance tables for different temperatures and flap settings, normal and emergency checklists etc. I purchased my copy in 1999.

 

It was only later (around 2001) that PMDG made their first add-on, and that was for the FLY simulator.
