We are entering the most exciting period of MSFS since its release.   PMDG, Fenix and Inibuilds in short order. Cancel all your social engagements for the next few months. 😄

LoL true. I am actually more excited for iniBuilds A310 than PMDG or Fenix. I own inibuilds A300 in XP11 and I must say, it is really a very very good high fidelity airliner and I expect their A310 in MSFS to maintain the same if maybe better quality than their A310/A300 in XP11.

I wonder if we can get them to schedule another lockdown right after all of them are released?

Haha lockdown was great for me here in Australia ..gaming wise… for the first time in many many years I had time to actually sit and do a long flight. 

It's an awesome time to be a simmer and I think we are entering a new era for MSFS.

For me it's seems at least 2-3 months of waiting. 

Please see the post from RSR from 01.10.2021: https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/149672-01oct21-let-s-start-4q21-with-some-juicy-737-previews-shall-we

In this post he assumed the release date by the end of 2021, so 3 months after writing this post: "As September has progressed, we have seen an expected increase in development speed and as of this moment our schedule guidance is that the 737 will release to you in the current quarter"

But what is important he also stated that plane didn't enter the beta: " I will show you a few examples when we get around to late beta testing if they haven't been addressed already by Asobo"

 

So assuming from the latest post that they haven't entered the beta yet, we won't see the 737 until the end of 1Q for my taste (Assuming they enter beta week from now, I doubt that 1 month for beta will be sufficient, but maybe I am wrong?) 

 

Just speculating, PMDG 737 is my day one purchase.

I’m also more excited for the A310. I’m still more than content with p3d ngxu. But the a310 represents new blood to me. A new type to tackle 

Alrighty! Looks like Christmas in July!

All I want is the floats for my Kodiak.

Since Randazzo said they have a “go to” beta date that they are targeting, I'm guessing the "go to" beta date is within the next 2 months.  This puts the beta start date, in the worst case scenario, of about early April.  And then beta may take 2 months or so, plus or minus a few weeks.  So a possible release of May to June, IMO.

Of course, this is assuming PMDG doesn't run into another show stopping road block again.  Another show stopping road block can set PMDG back further.

Well, a lot of stuff would have to go wrong, including at least another show stopper,  if PMDG releases the 737 in the 4th quarter of 2022 😄

Knowing PMDG for almost20 yrs, Highly unlikely it will be May or April. Why they don't release junk.

Did PMDG provide a feature to feature compare MSFS vs P3D ... I haven't really seen anything specific in terms of a feature compare list.  I'd like to know if there is anything in the MSFS version that isn't in the P3D version that adds value?

Normally when development enters Beta features are locked so was hoping we'd see a list.

Cheers, Rob.

 

They have not.  I've been wanting to see this also.  Lots of questions.

I think there is going to be a big difference between the two versions. They probably won’t tell us what they’re either.
