November 22, 20214 yr Great new interview on Sky Blue Radio podcast with Rob Randazzo, still listening to it while I type... Key points so far: - sales figures of the DC6 exceeded expectations by a large margin, sold more in 12 hours than ever before on all platforms - pricing for the 737 is going to be a LOT lower than people expect, due to the size of the market - release of the 737 is probably not gonna happen before Christmas, they're aiming for January 2022, but if they run into any major issues, it might get postponed till February - it was the best decision to start over with a new engine in MSFS. Nothing of what we see now in terms of visuals would've been possible if Asobo had tried to maintain compatibility with FSX / P3D. Breaking changes were necessary to achieve what's possible in MSFS, and it was expected that some things take a while to iron out, and to finish the tools necessary for development. - Microsoft / Asobo are very supportive in helping them out when there are problems they can't solve on their own 55 minutes of podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKadQrREujM Not going to provide a transcript, I'll leave it up to you to add other interesting points to this thread. Just happy to share this interesting interview with everyone here!

November 22, 20214 yr Author I would've loved to see the 737 released before Christmas, but in the end it doesn't matter as long as we get the great product we expect from PMDG. Later on Rob talks DC3 and 757... DC3 isn't planned as of now, but they'd love to make one, but that depends on the future market situation and their business decisions.

November 22, 20214 yr Having only bought 1 PMDG aircraft since getting into flight simming again after decades (DC-6), i am fine with the extended date. I'd far rather them get it right, and they do appear to make sure any aircraft they release is top notch.

November 22, 20214 yr Thank you for sharing. I think what's more important than the release date of PMDG 737 is the fact that Asobo and PMDG are now officially in collaboration. That means a lot to me. I believe that anything PMDG needs from Asobo side in order to create a more detailed aircraft can now be taken more seriously now. I can wait as long as they feel ready for the release. Murat Okay Turkish Virtual Airlines Senior Captain www.turkishvirtual.com
