From Reddit someone used ChatGPT to summarize RSR’s forum post. Then someone else used Claude AI to turn it into Randazzle speak. It’s gold because I can picture Randazzle saying this into a mirror with his long winded drivel:

Dearest valued members of our esteemed flight simulation community,

As we stand on the precipice of what can only be described as a monumental achievement in the annals of virtual aviation history, I find myself compelled to share with you, our cherished supporters and fellow enthusiasts, a status update of truly cosmic proportions regarding the impending release of our magnum opus, the PMDG 777-300ER for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Let it be known far and wide across the digital skies that, as of this very moment, our crack team of world-class engineers, visionaries, and coding virtuosos have aligned all systems in a harmonious symphony of readiness, poised to usher in a new era of simulated flight on the auspicious date of June 25, 2024. However, and I cannot stress this enough, we remain ever-vigilant, our fingers hovering mere microns above the proverbial pause button, ready to initiate a strategic hold should the fickle winds of fate reveal any hitherto unforeseen gremlins lurking in the shadows of our meticulously crafted digital aircraft.

Now, I implore you to lean in close, for I am about to divulge information of such earth-shattering importance that lesser mortals might tremble at its very utterance: The feedback from our elite cadre of beta testers and streaming luminaries has been nothing short of superlative, a cascading waterfall of praise that threatens to drown us in its overwhelming positivity. Yet, let us not be lulled into a false sense of complacency, for in the intricate dance of ones and zeros that comprise our virtual masterpiece, there may yet be microscopic imperfections that require our loving attention post-launch.

Fear not, oh faithful followers of PMDG, for we shall not rest, we shall not slumber, nay, we shall not so much as blink until every pixel, every line of code, every virtual rivet has been polished to a sheen so brilliant it would make the sun itself shield its eyes in awe. We stand ready, our collective breath bated, to unleash upon the world a product of such unparalleled quality that future generations will speak of this day in hushed, reverent tones.

And so, as we hurtle towards our destined rendezvous with simulated greatness, I beseech you to ready yourselves for an experience that will redefine the very concept of virtual flight. Prepare your cockpits, calibrate your yokes, and gird your loins for the impending arrival of the PMDG 777-300ER, a digital marvel that will undoubtedly stand as a shining beacon of excellence in the vast firmament of flight simulation for eons to come.

Yours in perpetual pursuit of perfection, Robert Randazzo

What I found interesting is that out of all the PMDG real world pilot beta testers (A330Driver, etc.) and the PMDG tech team who are presumably real 777 pilots, it was BlackBox711 that found the FBW bug where the nose drops unrealistically on final.  He said he discovered it immediately on his first approach and then subsequently replicated the issue on numerous approaches under various conditions throughout his stream.  It was quite obvious in fact.

I'm pretty sure that is what RSR was talking about with his "OMG someone saw something on a stream" comment.

That is some funny shizzle.

We're talking about PMDG. Let's not let PMDG get away with releasing a 777 on the next gen and immediately needing 3rd party sounds. It's not like one can't find a 777 anymore to record new sounds either...

it is what it is.  If a small purchase is required to increase the overall 777 purchase, then I will do it.  But I hear your point.

I'm hoping the cockpit looks better in the sim than on YouTube. From the videos, it looks like the sort of standard that was impressive with FS9 and normal with FSX but is way behind the curve for MSFS.

SpecSavers should have a representative on this forum. They could be doing some serious business.

Just a few minutes ago from Blackbox711 stream chat:

Currently watching the new Blackbox711 stream. Robert Randazzo himself dropped by and chimed in on the issue of the dropping nose issue. They found it and fixed it. Said it was easy to pin down because of the good troubleshooting Blackbox and his community had done last stream.

the most amazing thing about that exchange is Blackbox's name is Oliver

for some reason that really surprised me

Well he is German after all.

As an avid Top Gear fan, I now exclusively associate that name with a small Opel Kadett

I found it refreshing how chill everyone was and providing constructive input ending up helping them to fix the problem rather than just using this as another opportunity to have a go at PMDG.

We should, Randazzo's marketing and hype is over the top!'

No one should expect anything other than a Level D Sim equal!
