In the last update Robert acknowledged they are running out of cash.

This is the last update and no where does he say that or allude to that. Knowing PMDG through the years, even if that were true, they would never make a comment about their internal business or finance. If they ever did say that, it would most likely be a tongue in cheek comment as a joke.

They have made a small fortune on the DC6 in MSFS they are in no hurry to rush a 737 title in the next few months. They know folks are chopping at the btts for a realistic 737, There is no other competitor.

I mean that's a fine conspiracy theory and I know people enjoy those, so despite the complete lack of evidence for it, knock yourself out, I guess. 

But it has nothing to do with the post of mine that you quoted, correcting the false claim that terrain display doesn't currently work in the NG3.

I distinctly remember Randazzo quoted as saying their cash reserves were depleted/running ow, or something of that nature

Apologies if this is in error, but I'm certain one of his updates included that phrase

[EGLD 448]

ok, it wasn't in one of his updates, it was here - and I can't substantiate this in fairness - but I'm just making it clear I wasn't making it up

I'll listen myself when I get time

In the recent podcast where Randazzo was interviewed he mentions:

1. The 737 has taken much longer to develop than they anticipated.

2. He mentions that they are starting to run down their cash reserves.

I expect there are those that will buy the 737 as soon as it is available regardless of what offerings from other companies are available at the time.

Me think the BAe will be first... And that will be perfectly fine to be entertained until the Maddog is arriving second. And honestly after that the third I will pass unless they are asking for a very reasonable price. But I know it will make a lot of people happy 😉 I will wait (loooong) for the Queen. 

Cheers T.

He did a twitch interview with his personal DC3 sitting behind him I would say this is far from the truth.

it seems to me that from all the major developers we have updates coming in during the weekend.  The race for first seems to be on, open up your wallets folks

In regards of the PMDG "Cash reserves" comments - It's taken from this podcast with Robert: https://pod.co/sky-blue-radio/jt-hosts-robert-randazzo-from-pmdg-4-8

At 58:20 in this podcast - There was a talk about how P3D sales have been in decline since MSFS being announced - Then Rob does mention revenue is down and they have been burning cash reserves for a while.

Personal wealth is very a different thing to the cash reserves of a company you own
