You guys use performance manuals still? I think I used them years ago when I was flying PA31's.....no wait...we used a Whizwheel. On my entry level jets we used UltraNav; a computer based performance calculator. The last corporate jet I flew was a Lear 45, same thing; UltraNav but with the addition of APG. Interesting tool that APG.

Yup

I would use the iMac and not a MacBook Pro.I Mac Pro like I have would be the way to go but then you are going to have to buy displays. I can tell you though that 27" LED displays look F'in awesome!!

Robert,Are you still actively flying? What equipment are you on? WJA here out of YYC....I am sure you can figure that out!Blue side up always....

Robert,Can you please lock this thread now? The dibble from the malcontent is starting to upset users who do not like to sit an perseverate on things like this.

Pilots, While I do agree with some of what the poster has commented on, I do not agree with some of it. PMDG is a company. Traditionally, and correct me if I am wrong here; companies are in business for 1 thing and 1 thing only...to make money! PMDG does an over the top, out of this world, cutting edge job on their aircraft, especially this NGX. The NGX will now serve as the new benchmark in FSX aircraft. However, there is one thing that PMDG does VERY poorly and that is PR. A simple 2 line note on this forum would have sufficed. I fully understand the flexibility and fluidness of timelines as this is not my 1st trip to the rodeo but I also understand the need to communicate with my customers as that is why we, but in this case, they; are in business. Without us, there would be no people to buy their fabulous products; hence no PMDG. Lets face it, they make an incredible product; no one can fault them for that. They really need to improve on the customer communication piece though. Enjoy you weekend everyone.

If I was going to pick it, it would be the one I was operating in....as was suggested in my 1st post

Not on the West Coast its not.....well more to the point - Its not 7:37 in Reno!

PMDG is famous for this kind of stuff. Look at the Facebook page for the subtle little hints they are throwing at us. How that I think about it, 7:37pm on the East Coast would be even more interesting because then it give the people in Europe time to buy before they go to bed

Just incase other were reading there and not here....

Yes in YYC. I actually fly for SWA (call sign Chinook). You are in YYC so I am sure you can figure that out. Easyworld Airlines.....you don't nee logic in this?

14:31 Pacific Daylight Time. That puts them 7 hours back of GMT AND they are based in Reno Nevada

I wonder if this could be be missing piece of the puzzle for the release today... That would be super cool...

Would that not be interesting if they released it at 7:37pm PDT??

FRIGGIN relax!!! This program has been two years in development and will be released when it is released. RHR stated that it would be 7-10 days. If my math is correct, we are at day 7 so technically there are still 3 more days within this window that it could be released. It does NO good to post topics such as: Hey guys its not going to be todayIts today, not its not, YES it isTodays the dayIm ReadyThe World is Ready I am sure that some of the posts have been started to simply generate views on the posters topic. But really? What good does it do?We are all excited and eagerly awaiting a new plane for the barn. I get it but everyone just needs to chill. It will happen when it happens and we were all told that we would be give more that enough notice about this release. Remember the famous line in RHR's post? This won't be a surprise release. CNK235
