hasn't it been getting closer for a year or so now?

Thats usually what happens when things are developed. They get closer to being done. Or am I wrong?

Yes, and I can confirm that everything on youtube is without question completely true; it is after all, where I learned that the Earth is flat and the Moon landings were faked (on Mars). 🤣

Not 100% true, though.  Elvis regularly posts fake stuff!

The screen shots are getting boring.  Waiting for the release news.

I think the textures in those screen shots look a little cartoonie.

I have it on good authority from lots of people on YouTube that is the single greatest piece of software ever written and it will change all our lives in ways we can only imagine. 

Maybe even world peace?

This is why we need large high res shots....    A few months back they released some cockpit shots and they looked identical to P3D - at least to me.  It did help a little when I found a higher res version on the web but still....need some great well-lit shots to really appreciate the differences...  im sure they are there i just don't see it.

And you won't have to know anything about flying an airplane, it will do it all by itself. 😁

Found a guy who's never flown a 737.  😁

Unfortunately I kind of have to agree here... The closeup that was shown didn't strike me as 'super-duper', given the graphical qualities that other developers have shown us in their projects, such as the Leonardo Maddog.

I think the Fenix textures have spoilt me a little with what can be done these days but still am positive this will be a big hit once polished up.

So... you've never flown a 737 😉.  But that's probably good enough to know that the 73 isn't exactly a "do everything for you" airplane...

Program FMC, Take off, fly to 500 feet, engage AP, AT, follow the magenta line and Autoland. Easy Peasy.... 😉

Based on this excerpt from Randazzo, it seems  like there aren’t any issues with the MSFS SDK so far in beta. This is good news because there isn’t a “show stopper” that will prevent PMDG from moving forward to complete the beta.  I guessed that the beta test would probably take around 2 to 3 months so I think a release between April to June is the most likely, if there are no “show stoppers.”

So we will have an operational weather radar then?
