Liner? about the state of the art of XP

[riccardo74]

Hi guys, I'm new on this forum, so I'd like to introduce myself.

I came from FS world, and I'm very surprised about all the XP capabilities. But I can't understand why no-one developer take on care to develop a powerfull and quality liner for XP.

I have PDMG MD11 and in my opinion this is a very piece of art of flight simulation,  the state of art!

Why not to develop a liner with this capabilities? It could be a payware 737, 767 or MD11 o MD80 or any airbus model. But why no one invest in this project?

I think many FS simmers could switch from FS to XP with a parity quality aircrafts, don't you agree whit me?

Of course we agree with you!  No one has invested in such a project...because all the developers who CAN do such a project are tied up with other projects.  X-Plane has only recent included technology to attempt a PMDG style simulation (not 3D art...x-plane is already there) and nobody has really finished up their current projects to take on heavy as you suggest yet, but someone will!  A PMDG style project can easily eat up 6000-8000 man hours so the return on investment has to be there too.  It should be in the next year or two though....add to that the dev time and you might see a PMDG style simulation in 2012 or 2013.

Well I think that the upcoming JROLLON CRJ-200 and Xp-jet 777 are very close to, or going to be better than the PMDG planes.
