April 4, 20242 yr Found it interesting that Mathijs posted this recently, FWIW: https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/288084-22mar24-bits-of-this-and-that-about-big-and-little-twins/page4#post289104 There has been major progress this weekend. RSR just told me he and Alex cleared 80 issues from the bug tracker in the last two days.You have to understand that the 777 is a bit of a special release for PMDG. It is not only the first of a new aircraft platform but also one where we want to deliver a product that is 'complete' (whatever that may mean). So, it is a release without promises to add things, without a large list of things we still would like to change, etc.We are in no rush. In most companies, a release date has to be set because a sales or marketing department needs to plan for it. And everybody gets mightily upset when things change. Not so in PMDG. I am the marketing/sales department, and nobody listens to me. So, the ONLY factor determining a release date is how happy the devs and beta testers are. That second paragraph stood out.. proof as always will be in the pudding, but it's good they are striving to release as 'complete' a product as possible.. wonder if that means the RNP & RF support will be there in the first 777 release as opposed to a subsequent update.

But that the core features the aircraft is supposed to have will all be there, and that fleet wide new features like GSX integration or announcements will still come later, as they're not specific to the 777. Otherwise, I don't know why they would say these things will come later, separate from major releases, in the Q&A video.

Just to say that the above 'hack' did not work following a failure of my keyboard and joystick/rudder, during a 9.5 hour flight in the PMDG BBJ.... 😡 Had to exit the flight just 40 miles to destination, after 9 hours. Quit the sim, went to PMDG Ops Centre and there was a new update. Not going to be testing the PMDG 737 on a long-hauler any time soon though! I'm in a great, stropping big huff with PMDG at this point! 😄 Bill 😎FS2024 • Currently in 'GA mode' : A2A Comanche 2024 & Aerostar • Black Square C208, Bonanzas, Barons, TBM850, Dukes • COWS DA40 & DA42 • FSW Legacy, C24R Sierra & C414 • Echo Falco F8L • FFX HJET, Visionjet and P180 2024 • Got Friends A32 Vixxen • FSReborn Sirius TL3000, Sting S4 and Piper M500 • Flyboy Rans S6S • Skyward DA50RG • SWS Zenith CH701, RV-8, RV-10, RV-14, PC12 • Milviz C310R • Air Foil Labs Bristell B23 TrackIR • BeyondATC • PMS GTN Payware • RealTurb • Axis & Ohs • FS Realistic Pro9800X3D • RTX 3080 • 64GB DDR5-6000NPPL licence holder in the UK
