Perhaps its a specially produced 2008 vintage fine wine range (limited edition) from Chateau Randazzo.  To be served exclusively on all PMDG Boeing aircraft departing from a P3D airport.

That's just pure mean Erich,

What are us old FSX'ers meant to drink?

Yeah, but it's a 64 bit wine.  Won't be compatible with FSX pax.

I would rather think it like morse code:

"What the biiip, dont you biip know anything about biip biiiip flying. How the biiiip can you do that? You must be biip biiiip biip."

I have translated your message into the correct Morse Code for you. It's still important for us pilots to know it - in the event of Voice Comm Failure, etc.

"What the ..-. ..- -.-. -.-, don't you .. -.. .. --- - ... know about ..-. ..- -.-. -.- .. -. --. / -... .-.. --- --- -.. -.-- flying.

How the  ..-. ..- -.-. -.- can you do that? You must be ..-. ..- -.-. -.- .. -. --. / ... .... .. - - .. -. --. / - .-- .- - ... ENDS

You're welcome!

(I'm -... ..- --. --. . .-. . -.. if Jim Young knows his Morse Code!)

S*d the pax Erich - we want it in the cockpit if it's the good stuff.

(Disclaimer; not in RW situations...obviously...!)

Fun fact that you might appreciate: the last time I took the ATSAT was 4 years ago, today. Drove 6 hours overnight to NYC, took the test, and then got right back in my car and drove 6 hours back home.

Just the one at the bottom of my post. The info under the black background in the image below was never shown publicly because it gave too much away.

bahahahaha

...but seriously, though, RTFM...

This is already announced. We have a full 748 sim being built up for when the 748 releases:

There's a great image from a while back. It's a banner that a zoo somewhere put up and it's a lion roaring with "learn" written off to the side:

That's me, in this case...

Thank you Kyle. By understanding the irony in my post, I bet you are one of few that understands what a great heart Gordon Ramsey really got.

 

Maybe they're going to announce a joint venture with LvlD and finally deliver the 757; ala what Aerosoft did with CRJ...

This could make a little more sense given the 10-year timescale, but I'm still going to hold out hope for a 787 announcement. Everyone is reading the "big" in the marketing too much - it's exactly that: marketing. It's a new product line, so I don't think it likely to be anything other than an aircraft. There's a few bits of speculation in this thread that it's been 10 years in the making because of waiting for sim advancements and breakthroughs to get to a point where the 787 would be possible. Look at the new stuff in the 747-8 expansion, all of that has paved the way (IMO) to the 787 (and of course the MAX, using those big wide screens).

I'm not sure how developers communicate with each other about projects (if at all), but if PMDG announced a 787, it would damage Quality Wings significantly (if they don't get their version to market before the announcement)

Aside from not publicly slagging another developer, I honestly don't see how it's PMDG's concern if QW are also doing a 787. Why can't two go after the same product? Is it unfair on PMDG that iFly also do a 737 and 747 product? How about Captain Sim doing a 777 too? What about Aerosoft, Labs, and Blackbox all doing the A320? Aerosoft and BBS both doing the A330?

Yea, he actually said "YUGE" which could point towards Trump, and therefore his 757, adding more credence to PMDG maybe having picked up the LDS 757 development.

My comment was observational, not a criticism.  It's not like we haven't seen 3 versions of the same airport before.

I think that QW would still sell their 787 even if PMDG made one. Just like FSL and Aerosoft don't fight for each others customers. Just look at the Aerosoft Forums - their A320 "professional" is highly anticipated, even though the more accurate simulation of the airplane is already available.

BUT I don't think they will announce another airplane, given that they worked on it for the last 10 years behind closed doors. I think what ever they made won't exclusively benefit their products.

I'm it's hoping its something more 'outside the box'.

A deal with Dovetail to bring the add-ons to Flight Sim World given it's now in "Phase 2" of development?

Or going completely left field, Boeing Defense...

That would please very few people here, I assure you.  I'd prefer the wine
