PMDG Development XPX update

[Tom Knudsen]

Just keep in mind guys, everything with PMDG takes time, even when you see the first preview, it takes years to the release

That was my first thought, too. However, it's good to know they did not forget X Plane.

No, hope not anyway as PMDG does make some excellent aircrafts, at least for FS

Rumors are, it might be the DC-6 in development for three years now.

All the rumors you've been hearing are NOTHING but baseless speculation. This is the same thing that was going on with the rumors about what Flight Factor was going to release next. Everyone kept saying that it was going to be a 767 since the 757 was so similar to the 767. Surprise!!!! It's the Airbus A350. I think at this point, it's pointless to guess because there aren't any educated guesses. For all we know, PMDG could be developing an Airbus A380 for X-Plane.

Almost right, except it's an educated guess that it won't be an airliner. This was well pointed out by PMDG. Do an "easy" plane from scratch - in order to learn about making planes for x-plane - then quickly move on to port some airliners...

Pmdg has close relation with boeing so i doubt it will be an airbus anyway. 

DC-6 and Dash 8 is most possible.

Hoping for either maybe a Dash 8-200 or Boeing 717! Again who knows until the actual announcement.

You never know though. Flight Factor was doing nothing but boeing for a while and then BOOM; Airbus.

Comparing FF's relationship with Boeing to PMDG's is a bit of a stretch.

I'm not comparing. I'm just saying that everyone thought that Flight Factor was going to be strictly Boeing after the 777 and 757, then they turned around and surprised us with previews of their upcoming Airbus A350.

I didn't think that.
