The real thing will be operational by 2013 so a pmdg -9 would be in 2013 if they don't create the -8 next year and use that flight deck. At the minute pmdgs projects are as follows:737 NGX777747 LCFa possible other surprise but don't hold me to itNo 787 yet! CheersDylan Leonard

What do you mean by 747 LCF? An updated version of 747-400X or the new -800/F variant?Regards

Will there even be an FSX market anymore by 2013? X-Plane 11 would probably be out by then or close to it.

Who cares?I will not move to X-Plane. Ever.

True, but the trouble is, if things run true to form, X-Plane 11.1 will be out a week after that, and then a week later X-Plane 11.2, and so on, and that's why developers don't all move to it en-masse. For a developer that plans to spend four years making a complex airliner, planning for X-Plane is like trying to guess who'll win the Grand National in 2015, and then gambling every cent you have on your guess - risky to say the least. Until that changes, there probably will be a market for MSFS.Al

It's not a bad sim once you figure out its quirks and get some good add-ons in there. Besides, 5 years down the line, what else is there going to be? FSX will look ugly by comparison, and it will still be poorly coded, and who knows if it'll even be compatible with hardware/operating systems in the future. If I were PMDG and I was looking at the long run, I'd keep my eye on X-Plane I think.

Can developers afford to take 4 years to make a complex airliner today with FSX? What will the market be like in 4 years? As much as I love FS, the series is dead. I just wouldn't want PMDG to die with it. Besides, in my limited experience with X-Plane add-ons they seem to be more concerned with big version jumped like 8 to 9, not 9.45 to 9.55. It's just food for thought.

Won't Aerosoft Flight Sim 12 be out as well????

Won't Aerosoft Flight Sim 12 be out as well????

Good question. All gone a bit quiet on that score.Al

[Paulk787 0]

I'm 100% sure that PMDG will consider making 787 family after the release of 777. That will be a big project!

I've been using X-Plane 9 for sometime before I bought FSX. Graphics were pretty nice. The problem was that there were no good aircrafts to fly. Just those freeware which were terrible and all of the payware were the waste of money. That's why bought FSX.

Name one good add-on for X-Plane...

Won't Aerosoft Flight Sim 12 be out as well????

I hope so. They said they'll work on it, since Microsoft quit from FS market.Regards

ah my bad, i read 747 not 787 :(

[Guest acezboy561]

787-8 and 787-9 are long distance and I think there will be a 787-3 for short distance.
