I never realized that the brakes got so hot as to display visible blackbody radiation. Ouch!

I don't think this is what folks wanted after waiting 10 years for. Other aircraft in MSFS does that simulation already.

They’ve had this feature on their planes in other platforms. I thought it would look better in the MSFS engine though, although he stated they’re still working on it.

Yes but this is not the place to discuss that. We all know what "High Fidelity" simmers want from PMDG that still lacks behind other competition.

It's the same update as last week for the T7. Things are progressing well, but we don't have a release date yet. It's a lot of the same regurgitated information with a few pictures thrown in to distract people.

If there was no update, there would be complaints about being no updates.

But there really wasn’t an update, because the update was the same as the last update. So it’s fair to say at this point folks could complain either way because we had an update without really an update. 😂😂😂

I suppose calling it a "status report" would be better.

Looks like there is at least a month more of beta testing to go based on this writeup from Randazzo? I originally estimated 3 to 4 months of beta testing when Randazzo announced the PMDG 777 had entered beta testing.  The PMDG 737 took 3 months of beta testing?

One clue that the beta testing is nearing to an end is when Randazzo mentions he is working on the release videos of the 777. The fact that he hasn't started on the release videos yet says they are not that close to the end of the beta phase yet.

I just want to load the aircraft and make a test Inaugural flight the day I purchase it, and find out C*u is now more coherently reproduced ....

Ehehehehe - UNINSTALL-it....

Still nothing on which models come out first or which models are actually coming out. I just hope the ER makes it and it's in the first batch, because they will most surely be all separated packs.

I think it will likely be the -200 first, to cash-in from the army of content-creators wanting to cash-in on that sweet, sweet Omega-hype (and a few normal folk who watch saic CCs and gotta get it too, I guess) and then a couple of weeks later, the -300.

I think the popular opinion (and also based on hints from some of the screenshots) is that it will be the LR/F that is released first.
