When I saw the announcement yesterday, I did wonder how long it would take for someone on the PMDG forum to post if there was going to be an expansion pack to the 737NGX for it.

Did Robert not "hint" at a redo of the 747-400 previously? I can only dream about a 747-400 with the new techniques that they have developed for the 737NGX! Needless to say, whatever they decide to do will be a hit.

I don't normally reply on this forum. However, Caledonian plus a L-1011 is something to make anyone happy, what a blast from the past. The Caledonian colourscheme is also very well suited to the 757-200.

I thought the username looked familar. Though, there is nothing to say they are one and the same person, yet.

It is more telling that you have ignored, and not responded to the people that disagree with you but do reply to someone you thought was agreeing with you.I really do think you are just a troll.

I really object to this point. You, nor I have the insight into ACES Studios nor an understanding of the commercial aspects that may have forced the decisions that were made.We now have the benefit of hindsight to look back on the development of FSX...

I have to second that, I maximised it just to be sure. Good stuff.

Tom, it does seem that you have somewhat of an agenda with what your are posting. Fundamentally, you are wrong, very wrong. The B737 has a very robust structure, which makes it perfectly suited to the high-cycle operations of Southwest Airlines. There are some very clever people working for aircraft manufacturers and at the airlines themselves. None of the videos have shown what would appear to be the Aircraft Maintainence Manual definition of a hard landing, and these days with aircraft having Flight Data Monitoring equipment you get a very good indication of how hard a landing was. If there was a hard landing, there are procedures in place to ground the aircraft until inspected by a qualified engineer. Coupled with the fact that during an aircrafts life there are many structural inspections that look for cracks, popped rivets, corrosion, etc. What that means, is irregardless of how many hard landings you think an aircraft has had, the aircraft is inspected, repaired and is safe to continue flying.

Yes it is thin, but it is chemically etched from double that thickness to provide a doubler (or anti-tear strap as some might know it). Not dissimilar to milling a pocket into sheet metal, since you are a CNC man. When you walk across the crown of the fuselage you can visible see the panel flexing.

What will be interesting to find out is if this is another failure of chemically etched skin/doubler; as was the case in the previous Southwest incident. The crown panels of the B737 are surprisingly thin, seem to remember ~-.030". I believe American Airlines also had a similar incident on a B757. Will be interesting to find out the outcome.

Thanks for the update. The 737NGX is going to be the must-have Flight Simulator add-on. How far PMDG has come from the days of Fly!. Incredible. That, I have no doubts about!

Very nice, FlyTampa do do fantastic scenery!

EDIT: Already posted: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/331048-carenado-king-air-c90/ :blush:Hey,I am not sure if this has been posted. I am a huge fan of the King Air series, and as per the post title Carenado are developing the King Air C90.The first previews look fantastic: http://www.carenado.com/CarSite/Portal/index.php?accion=incomview&correl=1I imagine it will have the older style cockpit, but I do hope that they do a Pro Line 21 version later on.

Hi,Quite an interesting thread. It just goes to show that not everyone has the same opinion of what makes a good scenery.

Well Done Marc! It is a huge effort to get this far, and may you enjoy your training.Does LFT use the Cessna CJ1+ for your training?
