Visuals are overrated. A black box in blue sky over brown ground is good enough if all systems are properly simulated.

That's exactly what I was thinking when someone responded to the fact that I'd dared to desecrate the Church of PMDG by making a joke I made about that Triple Seven release glitch.

I didn't think it was possible to have a sense of humour bypass and an irony bypass at the same time. 🤣

And an update from PMDG: https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/119515-20mar21-a-glimpse-of-the-road-ahead

 

To quote RSR:

For a while now I have been giving guidance on the release of PMDG 737NG3 as "very late 2021" and even hinted that it might drag into 1Q22. This guidance is a bit softer now- as we are really starting to see our work accelerate in MSFS. I'm going to hold off offering any projection right at this moment, as there are some things that have to happen before I become comfortable saying "yeah- we have cleared all of the hurdles." We have hit our share of knee-knockers, worked through them with some help from our friends at Aerosoft and Asobo- among others- and I fully expect we will hit a few more before we are finished.

On the topic of MSFS and PMDG:

 

I have been mostly-mis-quoted ten thousand times this week as having said something along the lines of "the MSFS SDK isn't capable of supporting what we do" or "MSFS isn't capable of supporting what we do." I want to be very clear in stating that this new sim is highly dynamic and changing continually. What may have been true in June of 2020 is not necessarily true any longer. From the standpoint of development, we are not currently seeing any major limitations to prevent us from bringing our product catalog into MSFS.

 

So yeah, it seems that release of the CRJ, made RSR to $$$, I am more than sure, Aerosoft made huge load of money and that made RSR to change his tone and want to push things forward in MSFS line up.

  In fact, that sort of 'eye candy' is best left to MSFS 2020 since that is ALL any of you'se guys are interested in seeing in a "simulator". 

 

I would put good money down and say that majority of the PMDG/study level users don't run P3D as vanilla. It's a guarantee they have wen't out and bought Chaseplane, Active sky, Rex textures, ORBX textures, several airports, shaders etc and try to compare it to MSFS, so if you think those users don't care a little about visuals you are kidding yourself, X-Plane users do the same thing by dowloading terabyes if photo scenery.
