Lets not jump the gun on getting dissappointed on which varients are not getting done or are getting done! :)Lets wait for the annoucment and then debate from there, getting upset over information that doesnt exsist yet is a waste of energy! :(

Oh, my apologies.:(

I wouldn't get ahead of yourself. Remember, it's not even in beta yet.

Psst... here's some screens of our baby at Flightbeam's new KSFO scenery, which is amazing:http://www.facebook....165758250130634High res versions in the links when you click on each one.

Hello Captains,A few more shots of the PMDG 737NG exterior.

FlightBeam just released KSFO! It looks absolutely fantastic. You can download the free trial just like and FSDreamTeam product. I highly recommend taking a look. It's a top dog scenery add-on. Very nice!

I'm afraid that may be at the rate things are moving. Strictly speaking, an alpha build can turn beta/RC tomorrow. However, PMDG has perpetually promised updates "in a few days", "very soon", and even "this weekend" (referring to previously promised lighting shots in this thread). We are then left waiting typically for weeks, even verging on months before another update. Now I understand that things may take time and they have the right to work on their schedule. However, if you do choose to set a deadline (i.e. night shots "this weekend"), follow it (or at least close to it)! Anyway, venting done and likely on the soon to be modded/deleted list.Eric Szczesniak

My god Ryan, I hope you are right about that :)

Guys,This is SUCH a small matter! Do you really want to delay the release?? You'll only ever see them once or twice and its not going to affect the way the aircraft flies... So lets just leave them the size they are ;)Regards,Tristan

This is an important distinction to note - the actual "checklists" are very short, they don't tell you how to do every single step needed to operate the airplane - those are the normal procedures. There's some confusion about this in the FS world I think because some companies have huge step by step lists that they call checklists when they're really closer to full normal procedures. Real pilots basically commit the normal procedures to memory (these are the "flows" etc), they're not reading those out of a book/checklist.

It's in FCOM 1 in the Normal Procedures section. I believe there's another copy in the QRH and at least the Chief Pilots set has a separate laminated copy.

One thing to remember, and I think a lot of people are confused about this, is that the standard checklist is only 2 pages. It is very simple and brief, and for most of the time, this is sufficient and ruduces the complication. This standard checklist is the one that is laminated with the captains and chief pilots sets, and bound into in the QRH. There are however 86 pages of very detailed normal proceedures in FCOM Vol 1, Chapt. NP, Sec. 21. These proceedures are incredibly detailed, and include everything from the walkaround to testing the emergency systems to securing the aircraft. They are not the checklists, but meant to be used along with the standard checklist. For example, it might give step by step insructions for a proceedure, and then say "Do After Take Off Checklist", which you would then do using the standard checklist referred to above. Then there is a supplementary proceedures section in the FCOM Vol 1 as well. These are additional detailed proceedures for non-emergency events that don't happen on every flight. (eg. Bad weather proceedures) Emergency or abnormal proceedures are obviously found in the QRH. Here's an example between the standard checklist, and the proceedures found in the FCOM: (Sorry for the bad quality. Thank Mr. iPhone, not me!) Standard Checklist:T/O Proceedure from FCOM Vol 1 (Three Pages)Hope this helps! =)

Question about the NGX Manuals,Which set of manuals have a full checklist for the NGX? [Does the Flight Crew Operating Manual Vol. 1 & 2 have it?]Regards,

so Guys from PMDG, I think its Time......Time for Release, or ?! :(

That was just a figure of speech guys... "I'm in the middle of something" doesn't literally mean "the halfway point" of doing it. We are definitely past the halfway point lol...

All they lack is finishing it. If you'll recall they decided to add several major cutting-edge features a while back & doing so cause them to have to 'fix' other parts of the aircraft. I'm sure it's probably at the point where most major work is done & it's mainly tweaking/adjusting to make it all seamless.As far as I'm concerned, every extra day it takes makes the plane that much better. They've got the right idea not releasing until it's as close to perfect as possible.

In the middle of development? Noooooooo!

We won't lock the thread, but further antagonistic/disruptive posts will be deleted without warning.

Well we wouldn't if we had previews... -Chris

I absolutely cannot wait for the beta testers to be able to post videos and screenshots. It'll be like endless updates all the way 'till release!

I think we all got more than we asked for ... And I love that you wrote 777"s"

The beauty of this project is that we're essentially building an all new framework for future products - the 777 will be easier and faster to do because of all the ground up from scratch work we've done on the NGX. There are no plans to hold anything back with the 777 - it will be made to the same level or (likely) b

I disagree This would be overkill for those of us, who i presume are in the majority, who have caused no stress toPMDG or Avsim or anyone else to be in an info black out, due to the noise of a few.We seen this method used in real life before and it's disturbing.My opinion.

"patient" followers shouldn't have to suffer for those inpatient persons. But as I mentioned in the above reply, it gets annoying when you come on this forum and see the same question being asked a million times.Just saying
