This is a visual model/sound update only.

Looks like you've got the new site fully up too. It looks excellent! :(I'll be picking up the expansion sometime in the future. Money's a bit tied up with other stuff atm. :\

A bit pricey for a repaint, IMO anyway - I'll hang on to my cash for the 737 thanks.

I am not even into commercial airliners but I got it-and don't regret it a bit. Just won't have lunch with my wife at Subway this week cause this one will last a little longer-have to sacrifice somewhere :( .MOD NOTE: Geoff: I edited the quote above to get rid of a piece that we don't feel is appropriate... wasn't yours.

And I'm sacrificing this one so I can get the 737 :)Comparison would be - I paid USD15 odd for a Beech 1900D from PMDG - this was a fully functional aircraft, why would I pay USD25 for a repaint - PMDG have repeatedly told us that there are no systems changes. Even PSS didn't charge that much per livery.

Go for it-me I have an annual on Monday and that puts this all into perspective...

Good luck :)I'm not saying it's good bad or indifferent, simply stating that the price seems a little high for the product - just my opinion though, yours and others mileage may vary.

Scott-I removed your original post because you are looking to stir things up.If you don't like the product: Don't buy it. But don't come here spreading your sourness around.The rest of us prefer your company when you can interact amicably.

Of all the luck, my computer is in the shop getting an upgrade to the i7 920 and a new videocard since the old one fried on me. I will have to wait like two weeks for the replacement card to get here. At least I will have something to look forward to until I finally get it back. I also love the new site. Well done PMDG!

Hello,I tried to download a couple of the PMDG liveries, and noticied they will not download, anyone know what is going on?Regards,Jerry

Jerry-Any specific liveries?

Robert,The site is looking sweet and I will pick up the expanision pack once I get the money. I guess, I will have to get a job or go recycle some cans. HahahTaylor OldhamPS. The downloads that I downloaded worked just fine.

Yes I must admit the site does look a lot better.

Very smooth looking web site PMDG !Now let's give this model the 180

Nice, I should hurry before that beauty is sold out :(

Dear folks at PMDG,thank you very much for another nice addon. Really looking forward to the planned releases this year! You can count on me and my credit card. One little problem appears though after loading the 747 -8i version. The viewpoint in the 3d cockpit is incorrect. It seems that the defined viewpoint of the "old" cockpit is loaded instead. Where do I have to look or which values can I change to sit in the right position?Regards,Ingo

Ingo,Look for the 747-8i configuration manager that comes with the install (It would be on your desktop). This manager sets up the -8 viewpoints on the -400 air file. Remember... if you want to fly the -400, you must use this config manager to switch aircrafts to the -400 so that the viewpoint is set up correctly for the -400. You must do this each time you switch between the -400 and -8.Cheers,
