PMDG NG3 might be closer than we think?

Oh wow, those screenshots! This is the future 🙂

We'll see. What we have seen are really impressive pictures regarding scenery and environment.

Afaik what nobody demonstrated or proved yet is whether MSFS in fact is a simulation of flight, not just sitting in an aircraft and looking around. That means we don't know whether MSFS makes as much realism possible like P3D5 or XP11 do. If that's not the case we must not expect realistic models as we are used to (no matter who makes these). Hope I'm not right....

Yeah, but for how much. PMDG products have currently been running for about 3x the low end cost of the sim. 🤑

I'm starting to feel poor.

Will there be a Beta? Can I be first?

When you say realism, what do you mean? I'm sure pmdg is not going to give us a watered down plane. 

I don't know why everyone is still so concerned about realism. It's all in how you approach the game. The same crazy unrealistic things you can do in fs2020, you can do the same in XP or p3d

I thought PMDG was going to do the MAX for MFS?

I’m guessing that if they are working on a MAX (which I hope they are) their partner Boeing would probably prefer they not talk about it or release it until the real world MAX issues are dealt with an it’s back in service.

I think that the PMDG "partnership" with Boeing ended some time ago, notice how their products are now titled PMDG 747-8, PMDG 777-200 etc.

But Microsoft has partnered with Boeing, which maybe could help 3rd parties.

Also I think when he said “their”, he’s talking about MS, not PMDG.
