However, the download is quick and painless. Right, so how much airplane is in the downloadable installer? It is one of the bigger installers out there folks, 783 MB large. So with all of this said, many have asked the question “can PMDG improve upon the NGX?” Let us see if they can. I was very upset with myself since I was caught in the rush that followed, but at 05H00 local the morning of the 04 th of September 2013, I began the download and took the afternoon off from work to install and start to fly this amazing new toy I had just purchased.

Yes, I was indeed part of the release madness on the 3 rd of September 2013 at around 23H00 local time when the 777 was eventually released. Worse still for them, when customers loaded up the NGX there was a sense of “wow, they cannot possibly improve upon this in the future can they?”Īs many hardcore followers of PMDG will know, the forums have a tendency to crash when release is eventually announced and on release day it can be difficult to stake your claim for the illusive license key that will allow you access to the next finest piece of airliner software built (yeah, that term again) by the amazing folks at PMDG. I firmly believe that the company has been it’s own worst enemy due to this, as can be seen by the impatient fans demanding the release months and months before its release date, as can clearly be seen by the banter that goes on inside the forums in the weeks and months leading up to the release of one of their products. PMDG has long had the reputation of building (I prefer this term to coding or programing, the reason for which will become apparent in this review) simulations that delve deeper and deeper into what is possible in the flight simulator realm, and then surpassing that and raising the bar higher and higher with each release. For almost all of the really big fans of the airliner fraternity in the flight simulation world, the name Precision Manuals Development Group or its acronym PMDG as the company is more commonly known instills a sense of quality that is unparalleled in the industry, specifically as far as systems fidelity is concerned.
