Could you please refrain from stating your opinion as fact?

With the release of the QualityWings 787, I'm kinda hoping for a 737 MAX. Since they're slowly beginning to be delivered to airlines (Norwegian has received 6 of them (has ordered 100 airframes)) it would be a nice addition.

I'd love a Saab 340/2000.

He's actually quite right. Can't really remember anything more boring than a 787 right now. A 767, now THAT would be massive.

Says the guy who waited until just the other day to buy the NGX

Meh...NGX aint all that automated, that's why I bought it, brother.

 

The MD11 is highly automated, yes, but a different animal and thus challenging.

Yeah, which is why I said what I did. You were saying you didn't want much automation, but if that was the case why have you waited until now to buy the NGX?

 

Don't worry mate, just a little joke that fell on its a*se and didn't work lol.

 

As for me, I'd like to see a PMDG level DC-10. I've toyed with the idea of getting the JustFlight version, but it looks to be very basic.

 

EDIT: the word a*se is considered a swear word???

I think it would be some time before the MAX gets to the point where the performance data can be used. 

Frankly, I am seeing a lot of minor tweaks to the 777 & possibly even the 747 that should be incorporated into the 737.  I like the step increase the 777 has, and the wind aloft connection.

Let's analyse that....  

One of PMDG's inner circle has spoken.  Oh the possibilities.

[xTiMm_ 50]

I really want to have some news of the -8 and its features :D 

There are so many cool things implemented that would make me happy for the next 2 years until another good plane comes out!
Moving map, CPDLC/ATC communication, EFB... :D

[Nighthwk 566]

You know one of us hit the money when Kyle responds like that. It's the AN-225, isn't it 

[Boomer 1,619]

Moving map?  Will PMDG implement it though?

[downscc 1,327]

Nobody has mention this so I will:  ARINC navigation data!  Please.  This requires a big change to the FMS and I don't expect it to happen anytime soon but a brand new bird with new systems as in the B748 would be a candidate.  Once that new FMS enters service then it is logical to add it to future products such as the MAX.  I've got no inside information on this (beta testers are like mushrooms) but we've got to get rid of that old FS9 era navigation data.
