PMDG 777 and its delay

Both those who imply a conspiracy for the delay and those who would apparently give their lives for RSR.

Amen, No doubt about it!

    So we had... "you can almost smell the warm coffee and new leather, can't you" - back in December "it won't be long now" - in February "just around the corner" - in March "roaring up on the fi

  • Yea, I really don’t care about it anymore tbh. So utterly tired of the same old nonsense from RSR’s word salad diatribes and that clown Mathjis now added to the mix. I’ll keep on keeping on with Fenix

    For goodness sakes will people just leave PMDG alone and let them do what they are good at (developing simulation planes) and just focus on your life and/or other planes Jeez. Let them finish the prod

PMDG wants this to be as close to real as possible. So they're simulating Boeing's delays as well.

Now if only Boeing would care as much about what they build and put real people in as the company that builds the plane for a simulator.

No. Matthijs commented yesterday that folks who sent in the TXT have "a massive amount of DLC installed" which in my case is indeed correct.

Alright, I don't have PMDG forum account but this is the only thing I found on the SU15 bug and this goes back to February. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. How did this not get fixed yet?!?!?!?!

There are (or at least were) many threads about it, including one stuck at the top:

https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/pmdg-737-for-msfs/general-discussion-no-support/297395-post-simupdate-problems

In summary they finally managed to reproduce the issue, and are working on a fix. Did sound like they thought it was another addon clashing with theirs from what they were asking.

How can it be delayed if a release date has never been announced?

Randazzo also addressed the anticipated release date for the 777 for MSFS. During a development stream in March, he mentioned an estimate of two months, which would put the release sometime during May.

The word highlighted in bold is the important one.

This isn’t related to just PMDG, but a lot of devs don’t want to hear about, or chase issues with the SU betas because things change. 
 

My guess is they couldn’t replicate it because the staff versions don’t have the DRM check.

what makes you think I missed that word?

it's hilarious how people just mash all opposing arguments to their own views into one and argue against various strawmen

PMDG, and it's owner, thought that the aircraft would be released by now, and they made their expectations very public

by very definition, it has therefore been delayed to their own expectations

this is not a controversial opinion, nor is it hating, for the record I love PMDG, Xplane, MSFS and puppies

what he *actually* said, IIRC, was that it would be somewhere *between* two weeks and two months, so this is slightly more than a vague estimate of maybe two months

Edited by EGLD

Nobody likes delay's, and i should think that PMDG, or any dev wants to get their product to market asap. The investment and cost of bringing a new aircraft to the community means they have months to years to get a return on their product. Far better they get it right, imagine the outcry if their was a game stopping issue.

Hopefully it is not too long now.

My uneducated/reading…

Best to stop there.

Pmdg 737 is okay, however there is still a number of annoying issues which are NEVER getting addressed:

-Tiler control with joystick rotate axis is broken 

-IAN mode annunciator capture is All wrong (works flawless on Zibo)

-LNAV often has broken curves / lines

-Still no weather radar (other Devs figured it out)

-No viewable copilot (unless you install add-ons)

--Simple (one click) brake operation didn't work (last time I tried)

-Tablet is basic still and still requires FMC for settings

-Battery is hard coded to 24 volts

Is 24 volts incorrect for airliner batteries? Is it 36V? I think the Fenix battery was measured with 24V too.

And I think the delay targets to bring the 777 as one of the first Flight Simulator 2024 airliner releases this summer 😉 while all other dev teams will need a few weeks to update their existing releases for the newest FS2024. A clever maneuver!

Wasn't this (at least traditionally) 28 V?

Aircraft NiCad or Lead-Acid batteries have a static “resting” voltage of 24-25 volts. When they are being continuously top charged by the aircraft electrical system, that voltage rises to 28 volts.

If an aircraft is primarily DC-powered (typical of smaller biz jets), the engine or APU generator puts out 28 volts DC. Larger aircraft that have AC 115V electrical systems with engine or APU alternators, will have one or more TRUs (transformer/rectifier units) that convert 115 volt AC to 28 volt DC for those systems that need DC power
