Adding a cup in the cockpit which is mind blowing and needs full essay of how awesome this cup is

Well, you're in luck! 

Just get the 737-700, choose the BBJ and you're off on your next >6,000 mi flight! 😉

Not quite as fast, of course, but you'd have to step up to the Falcon 10 to get longer range.

Just kidding (sorta). It'd be great to have a really fast biz jet with long legs. 🙂

 

I already own the boring business jet (yes that was on purpose Lol).

Need a real sexy corporate falcon or something

Is GFO even a "thing" anymore?  It seems like it's been forever since they announced that.

Yes when they can make it compatible with all their MSFS products.

“the team visited several Starbucks in the greater metropolitan area to laser scan the cups whilst Mathijs and the lovely Dr. Randazzo waited outside in the bus with the engine running in case their management called the cops on us. Whilst I write this Leonardo and Jean-Paul in the art department are working on what I’m sure you’ll agree will be some of the finest cups ever seen in flight simulation….”

PMDG 737-300, 400 and 500 would be sweet. So would a 757/767

My guess is its CPDLC.  PMDG hinted a few times in their forums they were looking at a new solution or something.

This is from the Synaptics Discord updated FAQs from yesterday or the day before regarding the A220:

"Will there be Hoppie integration?
We are not planning to support Hoppie. One of our developers is working with the major networks and aircraft developers to create a new CPDLC standard which we will be implementing instead."

It wouldn't make any sense to announce a new aircraft given they still have light years to go on their current product line.

This appears to be a full-on separate project.. CPDLC support is just not big enough to warrant this kind of teasing and reveals/demos I think.

And they also talked about a research trip related for this, billing it as their "next new product line", and Mathijs hinted to focus on the "line" part. So it's definitely a new aircraft series or something non-aircraft altogether. And we know now it's ready to demo by June and they were actually thinking about showing it at the March FSWeekend event but decided to wait till FSExpo in June instead.

"It's not a new product but a product LINE. As Rob told us a while back, PMDG has expanded and is now able to handle multiple projects at the same time."

They certainly have multiple things on the go now, but they also have an expanded team so definitely are able to work on new things while also working on bringing the 777 (well into beta now) and 747 to MSFS.

It's A350. Kok hooked them up with the access to the equipment and data down in Europe.

Remember last time at EXPO?  We all thought it was going to be a plane and they announced GFO...ROFL.  I don't think they have that many new people to accommodate 4 airplanes at once.

Can only imagine if that happened not many people would buy due to the attitude they have along with the forum members who think they are mods.
