Okay, this is simply awesome.

That's a lot of dreams becoming true in flight simming. Thanks, folks -- that was a pleasure to read! 

Now, really really sorry for the unrelated question, but I've been away from flight simming for a long time...

I don't know absolutely anything about the NG3. Can someone point out where can I find more information about that? 

Hi Gabriel, long time no see, hope you are well Sir. NG3 I believe, referees to the newest 737

I personally think that the "NG3" will be the 737 MAX. After all, it is a next generation 737.

Yeah, and AFAIK the airport ground map feature is not present on the 737NG. So we can expect a 737MAX, standalone or being part of a bigger 737 family add-on. Could you imagine a PMDG Originals, Classic, NG and MAX 737 (all variants) addon? That would be YUGE!

 Hi Mike, thanks! I'm fine. Hope you are well too!

Yep. I was wondering if it will be some kind of update to the NGX line (-600, -700, -800, -900), or just the new 737 MAX -- or both. 

By reading the posts in this thread, I think these things weren't detailed yet. That's ok -- very exciting news, anyway!

I remember that night. People were posting comments at such a high rate that that a post would be on page 2 right after you read it. So much anticipation for he 737. Still my most flown aircraft as well as well as my favorite. Look forward to it finally getting precipitation effects.

I remember it too. People comparing it to the release of the classic 747 for FS9, AVSIM down for some minutes...

It's scary to realize that that was almost 7 years ago.

For those observant ones who brought up my sig, the black background remains for a reason. That's all I'll say.

Yes "black background" means "outer space". PMDG Space Shuttle!

It's dark down below...PMDG subnauticals?

will work on FSX ?

If two new fridges on a 747 cost $24 million I dare not think how much for a 744-8. I'll take mine without the fridges please.

Gents,

Am I the only one beginning to think I should one day title an announcement thread:  "Thread in which to complain if PMDG doesn't do precisely what YOU think we should do even with no knowledge of the business process."

I wonder where all you experts are when we are around the table making decisions, cuz you guys sure seem to think you know what we should do. 

 

Just Lock your announcement posts and avoid this nonsense ,
