PMDG has recently published a new development update in their forum featuring work-in-progress flight deck previews of their upcoming Boeing 777 for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Randazzo begins with a promise: they will try to be more transparent with their development process, showing stuff behind the scenes, like their recent trip to compare their 777 with the real 777. He emphasizes they have never done it before but have been considering it since Mathijs Kok joined the team and advocated for more sharing.

The beta process is ongoing, and they have been focusing on killing conflicts between their C++ code and Microsoft Flight Simulator’s Clang compiler, aiming for high stability.

With the release window potentially getting closer, they have been working on preview images and video, which will roll out gradually. PMDG is feeling very good about the project and is looking for a suitable release timeline, which will be communicated beforehand.

Their new preview showcases parts of the cockpit that make their 3D modeler happy, details that were impossible with the previous platforms. They think it’s the finest 777 simulation yet created outside and even inside the enterprise environment, with more to come on that later.

“We are absolutely certain she will meet even the highest expectations for 777 lovers and 777 interested simmers alike”, concludes Randazzo.

There’s no release date or pricing yet, but Threshold will keep you informed!
