Time to outsource to India

[Guest TBM930]

Thank you Robert and everyone for taking the time to answer. Getting back into the flight simming world is sort of confusing and bitter/sweet. Last time I flew I had FSX and X-Plane 9! I love X-Plane 11 but miss FSX's ATC and having at least generic airports everywhere but I cannot go back to FSX/P3D environment, it just seems too outdated even with a 64 bit engine and it no longer even has a real weather engine (without buying one of course). I will just have to be patient and see if one day, you and your company decide to move forward with XP 11 😂 Until then PMDG's study sims will be missed.

I mean, compared to what's available on XPL, it's actually better.

Oh. A potential partnership between IXEG and PMDG would be very cool! :)

I just bought the IXEG 737 classic + manual. I was hungry for a study sim😄 MD-11 (actually DC-10) was the first plane I flew on as a kid. The 737 classic was the second with Piedmont airlines and Eastern. Here is a pic I took of the Piedmont crew.

Very cool. I also have a fall for the 300! It was also one of the first planes that I flew on! The IXEG is amazing and I still think it has the best "immersion feeling" in all of flight-simulation (esp. when you fly it in VR).

Oh ...I have not done that yet! Step 1 buy a better monitor. I still use a 10 year old 22" BenQ!

One thing I love about the ixeg 737, is the flickering instruments you get when switching power source. Especially the crt’s Is one thing I remember very well from working on the Fokker 70&100. Adds so much immersion Imho.

Yes as a real pilot I usually fly with ATC. With Sim Brief you can export the entire IFR route and ATC will know where you are going. I know there is always vatsim but I do not always feel like longing on.

Yes that works quite well if you treat it that way, but I absolutely don‘t like getting vectored through mountains approaching on IFR flights  but if the weather provides IMC conditions and I cancel IFR to fly a proper approach I get the answer „airport is currently IFR, request denied“

I just got the latest update to Drzewiecki Design's NYC and NYC Airports for XP11.  The only thing missing in this video I made, is a PMDG 737.  I look forward to a future update on XP plans.  I would personally love to see a P3D and XP version of the future MAX/NG3 project!

Forget it. PMDG can not work in X-Plane. They do not have people and skills. Their first and last work (DC-6) are already falling into oblivion. They need people for other platforms.

Update from DD looks good.

Happy flight to everyone.

Oh boy.  To quote Star Wars fans:  The Stupid Runs Strong in This One.

Who needs skills as long as Jumbos grow on trees?

You will just have to laugh that one off with this film clip (a modern classic) :
