With Asobo changing the communication protocol in SU13 and with RSR saying that they will now change some things, I am thinking mid to late October at the earliest for release on the tablet.

Sounds like we wont hear or see anything from PMDG again until after official SU13 update rolls out on 21 September. I'm sure some could use the .73 update for the texture issues. Still running .65 here as the .71 & .72 updates seem to have caused problems.

I tried to ask for clarification on those statements, on whether SU13 was now a requirement for the tablet release and got told that my question made him laugh and a refusal to answer. Sooo yeah... starting to understand why so many people feel the way they do about this guy.

Guys, not joking. I overheard some whispers that these guys are organizing a scheduling meeting whereby they will be literally planning for the 737 tablet release planning meeting!

The efb is a running joke.

we still don’t have a screenshot of it.

but it’s very very very close…

looks like the efb won’t be complete on release, they talking about updates afterwards.

yes, I don’t have any more patience, come on, this is a efb, not a complete new airplane.

 

we won’t see the 777 this year, but at least we will read walls of nonsense text about it.

Wow, even more news about nothing...

I don't understand why they haven't released any screenshots of the tablet yet. Surly at this stage, there must be something to show?

Let me translate this for you into non-RSR english:

The EFB will have another significant delay because the language they specifically created for the EFB with thousands of work hours  is not necessary anymore and instead they‘ll have to rebuild the code to make use of the new stuff that comes with SU13.
This totally unnecessary and self-inflicted waste of months of man hours is then what delays the 777 (and anything else that comes afterwards) which now is impossible to be released in 2023.

Didn't take long for the thread to go down the toilet as usual.

If you all hate PMDG so much, why the continued interest in their products?

Simple answer:

I'm not really "interested" in their products. I actually OWN their product, paid for it with my OWN MONEY.

So, kindly forgive me for wanting to see promised improvements forthcoming before I shuffle of this mortal coil. 

I hope I was able to answer your question. 😀

It's unfortunate that PMDG is nearly the only outfit with a quality Boeing lineup these days. I have the patience of a monk, and even I find these "updates" a bit funny. Why say anything, when clearly, RSR has nothing to say?

Where did I say I hate them? I just point out their incompetence on the leadership level and their insubstantial communcations.

The whole EFB thing really is a bit of a joke.

Soo true. Bilious crowd. I reckon they need to disgorge their bile somewhat repeating over and over the same platitudes.  Fortunately, the Avsim community is better than these few.

I find the lighter way Randazzo communicate with the hint of a smile rather fun. The guy has style . Give me that instead of the way some others communicate as if we were 12 yo kids (we are thrilled and excited to present you this truly awesome etc.).

Yeah me too. 2024.

I bet if anyone tells ChatGPT to make a PMDG status update, nobody would notice a difference..
