Not sure what time zone you're in, but PMDG is East Coast US. So I'm assuming it will be released sometime during business hours (or a little later) in the Washington DC/ New York City/ Miami time zone.

Almost Midday over here in Australia.  I'll keep an eye out later.

I'm getting ready to go to bed!   We really are on the other side of the pebble from each other.

I used to fly the Cal Classics DC-6's way back when.  Seems like I flew a DC-6B from Seattle to Tokyo once.  I'm wondering if that could be done in real life -- probably they had a fuel stop at Anchorage.  The fuel modelling may not have been that accurate back in 2003.

Well, I for one won't be buying it on launch day!

(Mainly because I can't run MSFS at all, ever since the most recent Windows Update borked my computer and left it with no audio, a situation Microsoft Tech Support could only, after several days of tests, respond to by saying I had no choice but to do a complete clean install of my entire system.  So no flying and a lot of disk-swapping, stress, and NSFW language will be on tap for the foreseeable future... 🤬 )

So it's 9.34 am here in Norway. At work, and eagerly checking any news about the upcoming release. 

Im puzzled that PMDG havent put the plane in the store yet, so the storefront does not have a hint that it's coming other than the new category "MSFS" (which is empty). 

The official forums do not contain further official info, just a lot people speculating at what time it is going to release 🙂 As someone over there wrote: It is going to be a day of F5.

I would not hold your breath given they normally release in the evening in the UK.

Well PMDG is located near Washington D.C. (Alexandria, VA)  its currently 4:30 am eastern U.S. maybe something by 8am.

Question is if they release by the start, mid or end of the work day for them 🙂

People changed their timezone on their computer to Kiribati, just to purchase and download MSFS last year, on the first day MSFS was released.  So many people couldn't wait for MSFS to be released in their proper timezone.

This is why Kiribati is a legend in MSFS, LOL.

I will be monitoring this to see when it is released.  The trouble is, I don't know where to spend my money this weekend.  Shall I get this or the CS777-300?   It's a tough choice!  😝
