This is all subject to change, obviously, as this topic is still being discussed internal to PMDG. Lastly, Randazzo mentions a possible X-Plane development future. He goes on to state that while PMDG will eventually circle back to the project, it will not be in the short term. In addition, Randazzo mentioned that the DC-6 could possibly be receiving PBR updates in the future and that an X-Plane 11 upgrade for the aircraft is currently under discussion internally. This was a residual setting from when they were initially testing the forum with their internal teams, but this should now be resolved so that everyone, regardless if they have an account or not, will be able to read through the forums. In regards to their new forums, he clears up that users do not need to a member of the PMDG forum in order to read it, but must have an account to post. Randazzo also states that PMDG will not yet announce what variants the NG3 line will be comprised of, but hints to a future announcement regarding the upcoming product line and what we can expect to see in it.
He claims that they are making very good progress on the aircraft and that they are focusing on the external model fit and finish.
He also mentions that Jeppesen and Navigraph reached an agreement with PMDG to unlock displaying charts on the iPad app - so customers have immediate access to this new feature.
