Today’s well-known third-party developer PMDG has provided an update on their work to bring their advanced aircraft to Microsoft Flight Simulator.
If you are unfamiliar with PMDG, the developer is known for some of the most complex and accomplished “studio level” aircraft on the simulation scene, including Popularity 737, 777 and 747.
The update was shared on the official forums by Robert Randazzo, Who shared a promising view on progress and the way forward, noting that the view that Microsoft Flight Simulator is not ready for PMDG products is out of date. He also explained that the guidance for the 737NG3, which was previously “too late for 2021”, is “softer now.”
We also hear that the developer is conducting a review of their pipeline and models to match the new technology and capabilities that MSFS offers.
You can read the full message below.
“This week, with my burst of enthusiasm for CRJ, a group of people asked, ‘Okay, where’s the PMDG? “
we are here.
We are working to convert our entire product range to MSFS. It takes time, mainly because we have to completely reinvent our development process. It’s not just about wrapping a few lines of code and adding a new shape and texture font to the mix and calling it complete. We create new development tools, go through the entire development process, and turn our products around to make them as real, bright, and vibrant as the new platform allows. We don’t just transfer products, using the same templates, textures and animations. We are completely reinventing it to take advantage of every ounce of what our new MSFS drive has to offer. This means brand new models, all new installations and new soundtracks (very expensive and time consuming to make) brand new lighting capabilities and in some cases require brand new photo studios and rebuilding of materials. of origin to carry the cockpit. . It doesn’t seem like we’ve taken the cockpit out of the FSX for twenty years and stuffed it into a really cool rendering engine. We bring you amazing, new, and feature-rich environments that really shine in the new MSFS.
For a while I have been giving guidance on the PMDG 737NG3 launch as “too late for 2021” and have even hinted that it could be included in Q1 22. That directive is much softer now, as we are already starting to see how our work is sped up in MSFS. I will stop making any presentations at this point as there are some things that need to happen before I can feel comfortable saying “Yes, we have removed all obstacles.” We have our part on our knees, and we’ve gotten through it with the help of our friends at Aerosoft and Asobo among others, and I hope we hit a lot more before we finish.
After all, this is our first product aboard a full jet aircraft on the MSFS platform, so we don’t know what to expect from start to finish. But things are starting to speed up well.
On the subject of MSFS and PMDG:
I was misquoted ten thousand times this week because I said something like “The MSFS SDK cannot support what we are doing” or “MSFS cannot support what we are doing”. I want to be very clear in stating that this new SIM is very dynamic and constantly changing. What might be true in June 2020 is no longer necessarily true. From a development standpoint, we currently see no major restrictions preventing us from entering our product catalog on MSFS.
To put it another way, quoting me as saying “MSFS is not ready for PMDG” is a bit like someone in 1971 using a 1959 quote from a NASA administrator saying, “We don’t have the technology to land on the moon.” Sure, it was true at the time it was spoken, but it is no longer a factor. “
It is worth noting that the screenshot above the post may be very out of date, From August 2020. PMDG has not provided new screenshots of its products on MSFS since then.
In more Microsoft Flight Simulator news, we will see three new screenshots for Moscow Sheremetyevo Alexander S Pushkin International Airport (UUEE) for Diseño Drzewiecki, Which, as usual, proves to be the master of interior design.
Last but not least, Stair views Share a new asset for the upcoming Wasserkuppe airfield.
