I’m sure you’ve all heard the news from PMDG. Late last week, PMDG provided a development update to the flight simulation community. In this update they talked about their upcoming Boeing 777-200LR and 200ER releases. They mentioned their hope is the 777-200LR will release before the end of the year. PMDG continued by stating “The…

PMDG Egg Nog
If you routinely visit the PMDG forums to catch up on all the development news regarding the 737 and other projects, then yesterday (Friday, 8 December) you may have noticed the tease which Robert Randazzo gave us in the “Other Stuff” section of his update.
