Maybe when I have a IAD layover you can crash in my room Pabs! Guess Uber will make some profits again...

Awesome news! Can't wait to get back home and take her for a spin (if we can get out of the East Coast snow carpet 2moro). Rob, if you're done shovelling your driveway do you mind clearing up the active at JFK too?

Well, The thing with software licensing is always a interesting one, P3D while having a similar well behaved source code shared with FSX is a platform that has a different use, owner and development team. It does remind me of a story that happened once to me... On board the aircraft one day I was looking at an exit signs cover that was being replaced as it was old and yellowish (it was an old Airbus 340 btw), while the engineer was fixing the flimsy piece of plastic back into its housing he told me this cover costs the company about 1000USD. It was that expensive! Not because of the material it was made off but who-ever manufactured it got audited, scrutinised and tested that that piece would do its job when required which required a lot of bureaucracy, paperwork, agreements etc. etc. Same goes for any software license, P3D and PMDG had to struck a deal to work out how they both interact on the application of the add-on software and it's use and while it may sound ridiculous to pay twice for a similar type of product, down to the licence you buy (the only thing you actually buy) it's a complete different product from a legal point of view. With that, playing with the good old PMDG 777 for 90 bucks on a platform that is alive and coming to 64 bit soon I think it's a bargain! Warm regards, Karel

RSR in the DC-6! Jealous!

Awesome stuff Ryan! Guess this will also be a good base for future development projects.... Looking forward taking it for a spin soon and keep up the great work! :-) Warm regards, Karel

As always, quality first! I prefer to wait 50 years for a well done product then get it 2moro and be disappointed for 50 years... Keep it up PMDG! Warm regards, Karel Vanhees

Hey Luke! Yeah cool... I guess too it's more of a burden to the PDF coding if implemented... I think they only recently changed, one of them delivered earlier in 2013 still had the legacy clock anyway...

Hi guys, Recently our company received brand new 77W's that have the clock integrated on the PFD. Will PMDG do an update to have this type too? Warm regards, Karel Vanhees
