While there are handful of developers are making all kinds of Airbus planes, there is only PMDG making the Boeing series planes, although iFly makes only one model of 737Max8. Is it particular hard of getting licensed from Boeing or what. There are so many models in Boeing the developers can make and get into a huge MSFS market. Not understand why many of them choose Airbus routes, while we have bunch of paid or freeware versions of all sort of Airbus planes. Competition encourages quality and productivity, that is why we see how slow a Boeing model coming to the market while the Airbus is full of new model continuously.  

I think you should probably view this "problem" from the side of the (potential) developers; think of the thousands of hours a developer has to invest into making a "study level" airliner and then divide those hours into potential sales.

It becomes a high risk venture. (We can all speculate on the volume of aircraft FSLabs has sold in MSFS being the latecomer to the party.)

A good example is Bluebird Simulations...they have been developing their product (B757 and hopefully a subsequent B767) for literally years. It wouldn't make sense now for PMDG to try to compete with BBS for market share of that particular airframe.

I do agree that MSFS has opened a much larger market (primarily through XBox) than P3D ever saw...it is; however, still a limited market.

Bluebird Simulations is working on tne 757 and 767. IFly released the 737 Max already.

Quality Wings did have a decent 787 family in P3D (was supposedly being ported to MSFS) and a lite 757 in FSX. All evidence shows they are no more. CaptainSim did have light-medium fidelity 767 in P3D (which I liked) but their reputation went full nosedive with the loss of talent around the time MSFS was to debut. These and iFly were the only real Boeing contenders with PMDG back in the FSX/P3D era. only iFly remains out of the 3. Let's see how the newcomer BlueBird fares.

LVL-D 767 🙂  Potentially the best Boeing ever made 

There's even a default 737 MAX in FS 2024 by INIBUILDS if I'm not wrong(?)

The 737 MAX is done by Asobo. Inibuilds only did the Airbuses.

Because back in the day, the only serious add-ons were just Boeings, and only from PMDG. There were actually Level-D and CaptainSim, but basically, everyone was dreaming about an Airbus — and that time has finally come. Fortunately.
it's just a historical development of the market.

PSS made a series line of Buses. Maddog for FS9 and FSX also revolutionize the sim. Then along came the Dash 8-Q400. Every now and Then I go back and fire up the Level D 767.

How do you know that level-d was better and more accurate than PMDG 737 or 747?

Well he never used the word Certainly in which means its a given of fact. He said Potentially which means a possibility. There is a difference.

So, based on what such assumption was made ?

Read your last post, that was the assumption.

I think it's just coincidence. In the FS9 and FSX days, it was the other way round - a glut of Boeing and a dearth of Airbuses.

And as others have mentioned, there are other Boeings out there or being developed. The iFly 737 NG, the FSS 727, the Bluebird 757/767 and the CSS 737 Classic come to mind.

PMDG approached Boeing for permission to make their aircraft available for Flight simulator, the first being 747 for FS9 and produced the full manual for the aircraft. As for the others who knows if they have permission.
