No, it’s not against forum rules but seeing two next to each other that imparted no useful info I decided they weren’t worth seeing. We mods use our own judgement. Ray (Cheshire, England).

February 19, 20215 yr I'm not one to complain about release dates because I'm always of the belief that if a product isn't released it's because it's not ready. However I am a little bit concerned as to why we're not seeing images and videos posted. RR said himself a few weeks ago "we'll lift the NDA probably this week" and we haven't seen anything yet. So That's a letdown. Back with the original 777 release and the 747 i remember Froogle and a bunch of other simmers showing off the beta. Would be nice if we had something similar before release.

I have full trust in PMDG! They released very good and decent software products, each single one of them. And if they won´t release anymore....than they would probably have a very good reason for it.....But for now....I think I will be very pleased to see what they have done when it is out! Pleasing everybody with the right "amount" of information is hard enough. I find they do it very well. I could mention lot´s of others who have complete different strategy and I like how they "tease" us and keep us on track..... Marcus Regards, Marcus P.

They probably have everything ready and are just waiting for Boeing's okay. Next aircraft will be the 787. I would love it to be the Dreamliner but I have a hunch that the Boeing 777X will be the next development from PMDG and possibly they will add the B737 MAX expansion as well. Regards Iván Guerrero

February 22, 20215 yr The fact that quite a few "study level" sim pilots will not even consider anything other than real world routes with the correct plane types, I would suggest that the 777X is currently a non starter. The 787 seems to be the obvious candidate for virtual pilots with limited imaginations, but I would love PMDG to prove me wrong by pulling a 757/767 out of the bag.

I mean I get wanting to fly a realistic route as possible. But sometimes it's also more interesting to me to come up with a route that tests the performance capabilities of an airplanes that I have to research prior to the flight. An example was flying the 777-200LR from Wellington to SFO.

Having said that, its PMDG business choice as to what's likely to be successful in the market. I am sure they have a better market understanding than I do! I understand what you're saying about the Dreamliner, but since PMDG will be moving to the MSFS2020 simulator (which already includes the B787 and B747-8), so I feel like they will go for the B777X, given that it's the successor to their current newly updated product (B777), so which will leave the B747 QOTSII, B737NGUx and B777 as is for Prepar3D v5 which ends its life cycle with LM (probably I think so). So for next year (2022) they will start their new product cycles on the new simulator (I want to believe), because they are committed to developing with the B737 and probably the B777X as well.

They've annouced that they are developing for that platform in addition to P3D, not leaving one platform to move to another.

February 23, 20215 yr New screenshots just posted all over the PMDG forum. Looks like the NDA has been lifted. She is a beautiful bird. I can't wait to see what she looks like in the UA battleship gray livery.
