While I’m not a pilot and cannot comment on the flight dynamics of specific aircrafts. 
 

I do feel PMDG need to innovate more… over the last 10+ years we’ve essentially had the same Boeing jets - 737/747/777. The way we interact with them remains the same. Things like throttle calibration with different hardware should be fairly standard on most planes, even the free FBW A380 has it. Made it really difficult to set up the 77W for MSFS24. 
 

Also in response to the recent video of ToLiss/Aerosoft A346 showing taxi-cam, I felt like there were a lot of slamming on how “unrealistic” it looks, but my point is at least these team are working the problem and trying to find a compromise to try to achieve something new. I for one will not be rebuying any more 737/747/777s, I have my favourite frame the 77W, and that’s all I need.

Well there's no point in posting to the PMDG forum because the usual suspects dogpile on anyone who has the slightest bit of feedback. Instead, reports should be submitted via ticket. 

This, especially that user named Crabby who is nothing more than a bully that they let say whatever he wants. Yet those that legitimately criticize specific issues get banned like LRBS and myself.
 

Their “beta” testers have been with them so long (Dan Downs for one) that they fail miserably at what they do. The term for this phenomenon is “beta tester fatigue” or “tester burnout”. It’s where a beta tester, after prolonged involvement with a company, becomes overly familiar with the system, leading them to overlook issues, miss bugs, or perceive the product as flawless due to desensitization or bias from long-term exposure. PMDG suffers mightily from this and their cadre of testers. As far as I’m concerned, with RSR and the team he has, they are no where near top tier anymore. Xbox sales and them not having a Fenix type dev they are competing with on Boeings is the only thing saving them.

On point, couldn't have said it better.
