What about the DC- ?? how many Boeings do we need ?

[Q400]

Just in time for Fathers day, couldn't have timed it better. Now if I can only find where Her Indoors has hidden my plastic, I will be in like a shot.

Strange! all the hype two years back and it was pulled off the shelf .... mind set thinks why post about the type , maybe someone in the PMDG played with the A2A Stratocruiser and thought the DC-6 required extra attention .

Wow! It's been a lifetime since i posted in this Forum!
Anyhow a response to your question. I think PMDG have realized where their market lies and to do what THEY do best, 'top of the line virtual imitations of modern airliners'.
I think they understand the small niece market they operate in and to be stepping on toes like A2A who have risen to credibility and reliability just doesn't help the community in general.
Sure A2A or any other developer for that matter isn't in the process of developing a DC-6 (or not to my knowledge at least) but i would be surprised if this wasn't the case.
And to be honest PMDG's communication with their customers leaves alot to be desired, they will only talk when it's on their terms and very rarely will you hear them discussing how or why about company decisions.

The thing that sticks out most , In the real world you run a business a follow the rule "the customer is always right" .... In he world of media and entertainment i think, no many companies need to take a leaf out off A2As book , the personal service and family orientated approach really works .

Seldom do i post at PMDG simply because they won't reply , guess like standing in a shop without any other than the one behind the till .

Regarding the A2A Boeing 377 Stratocruiser on its release, the morning i brought it .... like 2.00AM had just got home from work, Scott Gentile phoned me ! about, well just to say watch for this and watch for that , I was friggen chuffed , thirty minutes later another call , watch for this and remember to have the cowl flaps open slightly on takeoff .

I sure he did not ring everyone in the world , i think i may have been the first registered A2A Strat pilot in the world , now that's what i call customer support !

I get where your coming from Ian i truly do. sometimes i swear these guys like to wear black uniforms with red arm bands while communicating with their customers

Bit like some airport security people ... give em a suit and they are Hitler for a day .... which remind me Chris , Our banner winner James 'goingboeing' .. we are yet to see some off his Boeing B377 screen's, heard on the grapevine thats what he chose

It would seem that the relationship that PMDG have with Boeing is determining the product they develop and I guess there is nothing wrong with that as they have access to data that is hard to obtain. There seems to be no shortage of buyers.
With that in mind I guess the next major model will be the 787.

That would be an interesting announcement , lets hope the project is well underway before they say anything

[FunkymonkeyNZ]

Yeah, I know ive been doing a little more reading since i posted it that

it appears that it was a "rolling snow" rumor

I think i have missed the threads on the price, anyone got any ideas, im thinking >$70

[FunkymonkeyNZ]

Just a heads up Lads. She's been officially rolled out to the public at $89US. A tad on the steep side for an addon but i bet shes a beaut! AVSIM and PMDG's website looks as if its gone down to the huge amount of user traffic!

[Ian Warren]

Around $115NZ , again wait for the dust to settle , noticed PMDG has been stalled the last couple off days , keep an eyeball on the exchange rate .

[freaknout]

Finally!

I've tried to buy but it's a no go at the moment so will try in my morning. Good luck if you can pick I it up today. I look forward to the Air NZ screenies!
