PMDG will be making a lot of money this week!!

Can't wait to fly Thomas Cook Airlines routes with this excellent looking aircraft

Only time will tell

Hello from Kalgoorlie, WA, Emigrated from Essex over just over 5 years ago and not looked back!!!

I just tried to have a little look at the level-d forums, but when you type the address in, the website is gone and the domain is up for sale. Anybody else noticed this?

PMDG did say a while back that the 757/767 is not on their current agenda I think. It would be nice to see a fully professional 757 but I don't think it is going to happen this way

Hi all, Interesting to see those videos again and how fast 2 years have passed, it would be nice if PMDG made a 2014 video like that. On the 2nd twin mentioned, I think he just made a little mistake on the twin quote and he meant the 747 v2 as it was in the 3rd video straight after the quote. Perhaps someone from PMDG can clarify that but I am sure that is what was meant, but no doubt after the 747 v2 another twin quite possibly be on the way, only time will tell as to what it will be.

We have all been waiting a long time for some upto date VATSIM Clients. This is great news, and I hope they both will be compatable with Prepar3d v2

I am personally looking forward to, 1. TFDi 717 2. QualityWings 737-300/400/500 3. FlyTampa Sydney YSSY 4. McPhat Fokker 50 5. Aerosoft/DA CRJ I would also like to see the Level-D 757 finally released but that is definately a pipe dream after nearly 8 years!!!! And maybe the Level-D 767 updated to a more modern looking cockpit graphics wise as well as Windows 8 compatability and the 767-200 added in (I don't request a lot do I!!!!)

Yes, Plenty of hints scattered around the forums, sounds promising after all this time. Just wish he could show/tell us more about the development of the aircraft. Although it looked 2013 would be the time, I don't think we will see it. Maybe 2014 perhaps or maybe not.

Hi all, Just a question to snowingairlines, I know about the TFi/Milviz boeing 717 being designed and it looks very promising so far. You said there is another one in development, could you divulge in telling us the company/group doing this or is this a surprise that we will find out more about in the future.

Hi everyone, I have flown on the 717 a few times from Kalgoorlie to Adelaide and it's a great plane, shame PMDG don't want to make one, but I also can see their point of view as well. I am sure you are aware anyway but TFDi Designs are developing one at the moment which is interesting to see and may pave the way for other developers to look into it too. I would love to see the 757 from level-d be finished also as someone else said in this topic.

Thanks I have been waiting a long time for this one, going to purchase soon, all I need now is the Level-D 757 to come out and it will be a great end to the year, oh well at least we have an adelaide now, hopefully they will do a Perth soon too. Cheers Peter

Hello Bill, I have been waiting with anticipation since the project was announced all those years ago, I still believe the 757 from level-d is on it's way. Has the development increased of late or is it the same pace as before. Do you see any positive news from level-d regarding the 757 during the last half of 2013? Anyway, still patiently waiting ad believing Peter

Yes its a shame about the real aircraft starting to get scrapped but I suppose all good things have certain life time too. My fsvourite airliner is the 757 definately something unique about it. I only flew on it once on a First Choice aircraft, enjoyed it. Must admit since moving to Western Australia I have flown on the Boeing 717 and also I find it a unique enjoyable airliner, anyway not trying to get off topic, it's been a long time waiting for Level-D 757, but patiently I will wait. Like myself, Level-D should always put family and real life first, regardless of the few impatient people on forums who think they know best.

Toll/Virgin, I honestly did not know about that one, I learn something every day.

only international freight, Sydney airport gets a few FEDEX and UPS MD-11's, Qantas Freight uses a boeing 767-300 from sydney too but I think that goes to New Zealand quite a lot. I think Qantas holds a major manopoly regarding air frieght in Australia, so a lot does go on Qantas flights and Australian Air Express Jets. I hope this helps

Australian Air Express, part of the Qantas group. they have bae 146's and boeing 737-300 aircraft, only small fleet though

I have had the Dual Head2Go Digital Edition for a few years and have not looked back, my current setup is 2 LG 27" monitors running on a GTX 680 and before that it was running on a GTX 580, For me FSX runs on it nicely without anu noticeble Frame Loss, also you get much more of a view of the VC with it. I highly recommend it Peter

Thats the spirit!!

Same for me, I like to fly like most airlines and use the A/P but when taking off and landing manually I had no problems and it flew quite nice, It is a nice aircraft to fly and I personally find it nice to fly something different and modern on VATSIM, whilst most fellow pilots fly the PMDG NGX/MD-11 at the moment and the Airbus X. It is also good for the controller to see different aircraft as well I think. Once you get the hang of flying it, its good to mix in with the other aircraft on VATSIM and enjoy the whole experience.

I have both of these packages, I purchased a few years ago when I was with VOZ Virtual, The graphics is a bit dated now and it does require a little time to learn the cockpit as it is different, but I did enjoy flying these aircraft and they were good on frames as well, for me anyway. As long as you dont expect a PMDG quality aircraft and systems depth you will be ok, Take time to learn the autopilot as it is a little different but once you get to know it its good. The E-Jet series is the E170/E190 variants. For a wilco/Feelthere product it is one of their better ones, especially of late. Hope this helps Peter

Hi all, A Boeing 717 would be excellent from PMDG but this has been so far confirmed by PMDG as not a possibility with them, shame as living in Western Australia I have flown and seen these aircraft with QantasLink and it would be really good to be able to fly them in the simulator. But you never know PMDG may change their minds in the future. I am following the TFDi design version at the moment, I wonder how that will turn out?

I have posted this question on the ORBX forums also, I want to get as much info as possible to assist me, Hi I am seeking some advice, I am about to purchase a GTX 680 4GB graphics card, I have narrowed it down to 3 potential cards. I am only using FSX mainly on the machine with all ORBX add-ons and REX Essentials, the CPU is a i7 3970x, my question is does the base clock speed of the GPU matter when it comes to FSX as the cards I am deciding on have the following 1. Asus - 1006Mhz 2. Gigabyte - 1071MHz 3. EVGA - 1111MHz Obviously there is a price difference between these 3 cards but I am trying to get as much performance GPU wise out of FSX, Any advice/help would be appreciated

Ah looks like success on the ai for me, I copied the Prepar3D.exe and renamed the new exe. to FSX.exe and all seems to work 100% with my UT2, trying to figure out how to add my MyTrafficX stuff now as well. I hope this helps people.
