If memory serves me correct with X-Plane it actually builds an aerodynamic model off of the actual plane mesh. That was one of the main pro's of X-Plane, and I could never figure out why MS didn't just go that route. I would think that would be the biggest hurdle is having to build the flight dynamics from the ground up for FSX as it is completely different. Only people that know for sure though is them as I don't think anyone else is even attempting anything similar. I hope it all pans out well as I would love to add the DC-6 to my FSX hangar. I am very tempted to dig out my X-Plane 10 disc from the depths of my containers though, and give it a whirl.

Almost need an animation of a plane on final for landing so we can count down. Kind of like the ball drop on New Years Eve, lol. Can't wait to see videos of peoples flights popping up so I can see what eventually awaits for FSX.

Looks fantastic! Almost makes me wish I was an X-plane user. I will definitely get it day 1 for FSX when that transition happens though.

That is amazing you can buy a DC-6 for less than a P-51 Mustang, but yeah it is for sale on Controller for 1.2mill. I don't have the money anyway which is why I've been around in FS for so long, lol. I see everyone is over the in the 747-400 v3.0 Queen of the Skies II (as named by RSR) thread. Hopefully once the FSX/P3D versions start getting shown the thread picks up. I haven't touched X-Plane in a long time myself, but if I make any type of migration it will be to P3D.

Nice job to all involved! Looking forward to the FSX release (when it is time). I will go on ahead and fork over my $12,000,000.

Good to see you are well Robert. I know what you mean about the 1% burning you out. I mainly just come on the forums to see if you posted anything and really don't try to get in the weeds on the posts. At least another fantastic study level sim is inbound!

I personally have an Alienware M17x R4 that has served me really well while I have been on deployment, and away from my desktop... I know the stigma associated with the machines. However since they are SATA III (faster internal communication between CPU, graphics card, etc) it works almost better than my desktop with FSX. Plus it only has a 2.9ghz i7, but still feels pretty quick.... If you are looking for decent though Asus makes the G75 and that what I was cross shopping with the M17x. Just keep in mind you will need a SSD for FSX though to get the best texture loading rates. I fly NGX no problems though, and RSR says the 777 is even more frame friendly. Either way the newer generation of laptops run FSX quite nicely. The only thing I cannot run is AI traffic. Other than that all of the settings are maxed out.

We would like to make it known that we will continue supporting the Avsim Store customers in any way we can. If you need the SP1, or you just need something from us in general and have purchased any of our products from the Avsim store please email me at Roadburner440 at milviz dot com and I will get you taken care of. We thank you guys for your purchases and support, and we look forward to serving you all well in to the foreseeable future. Steve

The 737-200 will be FSX only, and it is being developed by Military Visualizations. I know it has been awhile since everyone has seen the aircraft, and I think you guys will be surprised once we start showing her off again. Aircraft is definately coming along nicely though in the backround.

Good evening all. We have hit yet another project milestone with our King Air with the initial modeling of the VC coming to completion. Just wanted to stop in and show off some progress, and we cannot wait to show what this pit looks like with some textures. Hope everyone enjoys, and as always please remember these are a work in progress.

I paid full price for the MD-11, NGX (both standard, and the expansion), bought the NGX Captain's set, and the JS4100. I think total that is somewhere in the neighborhood easy of over $500 although I can't remember. I did luck out at Best Buy and picked up the 747 on disc for $20. Flight simming is really my only hobby other than RC cars, and I don't smoke or drink so I figure the money has to go somewhere. :biggrin:

I really think they get like we do, and when you get the bird in game and start rolling through Alpha a lot of "what ifs" start rolling through your mind. Then all of the testers and us start thinking "well this would be cool, and that would be awesome!" Then you wind up down the road thinking wow this took awhile. In the end though you are right it winds up making for a far better product.. I know some of the things we debate on our team are out there. RSR talking about doing arithemetic and things though for hydraulic fluid temperatures, and tons of other stuff though takes the cake. I think it would be cool to see a behind the scenes PMDG building of an aircraft. Especially since I am involved in real life aviation and schematics and such fascinate me. I am not so sure how I feel about the 747 V2 though. I still like the legacy one, and while it is showing its age I still think she is holding her ground even in todays sim era. I think if anything I am more excited about the 747-8's that will be fully functional. As I resisted temptation to just get the exterior models. Now those will be cool.

We are also working hard at Milviz to get the F-86 and 737-200 out before years end! Looking forward to the 777 and DC-6 though myself over here, and hopefully those are out by years end as well. I will agree there are a lot of good products coming out over the next few months. Looking forward to Aerosoft's next US Cities X installment (Los Angeles), and Fly Tampa's Montreal airport. Really not to sure what else is over the horizon though.

The 737-200 while unvieled awhile ago is not talked about much simply because we are deep in development. The -200 will be a good bird for people who like the 737, but want the older J8TD engines and older cockpit layout. I personally like classic birds, so this one is right up my alley (along with the F-86!).

Good evening all. Just wanted to take this opportunity to share with you guys an update on the 737-200. Bill has finished coding the log in to the over head panel, and getting all the lights in place. So just wanted to put this shot up showing the over head in all of its glory. Each light does have its own auto-dimming feature, and is set up to Boeing specifications. They are all illuminated here using the test function for show. Hope you guys enjoy, and we look forward to showing off more of this birds features soon as this is our most exciting product yet!
