After the 747-400F and MD11/F, what would everyone like PMDG (the best FS aircraft add-on makers EVER!) to do next, and why?
I would love to see PMDG do an Airbus, so for me, I say an A330-2/300 because it's my favourite aircraft and I'm not a fan of the one by PSS (high hopes for the PSS_757 though). If not, at least the A320_Family.

I know they are already doing the MD-11 which I cannot wait for! But I have still to see a professionally made DC-10 package, why has this great airliner been neglected? Also the L1011, I have the package called "Fly The Tristar" but to be honest its total crap. We need a good DC-10/L1011 package!
Phoenix Simultation Software (PSS) have announced that their new models for FS2004 Including the 777 and 757 will feature for the Very First Time a fully functional Virtual Cockpit.
That means that you no longer have to switch from the 2d panel to the Virtual cockpit to fly as all of the functions available in the 2D cockpit will now be accessible in the VC plus much more!
This includes every switch, knob, button or indicator that is on the 2D panel will be modelled and the VC Will be 120% functional. (meaning PSS will have MORE functionality in the VC Than in the 2D PANEL !)
With the new high resolution graphics the panels are more life like then ever before. Look for the release of the 777 in the early summer.

an A380 would be nice, perhaps a 777 model of their own, regardless of what others are coming out with. A 777-200LR would be nice

Totally agree with you there..... I really wish someone would do a full simulation of the L1011 and the DC-10. There was a DC-10 commercial package in the "Fly to Hawaii in a DC-10" done by Fly Away. I'd like to see Dreamfleet/Flight1 or PMDG put their magic on either one.

777.
It's such an amazing aircraft from a systems point of view etc, this is something PMDG could really pull out all the stops on. Forget PSS, they are very oddly on doing the 777-200LR and 300ER anyway.
PMDG have stated that they can't really do an Airbus because Airbus will not provide the necessary technical data they'd require to produce a simulation up to their standards.

Food for thought:
Back when Fly! was still around, PMDG came out with a highly detailed 757, 767 and 777 for it. So I'm sure that they have the data hanging around somewhere. Level-D has a very good 767 out, Captain Sim is also developing one, and word is that Level-D is looking into a 757 as well. I discount PSS, because as much as I hate to say it, their Airbus packages aren't up to the same standards that PMDG and Level-D are (they're still very good, and I fly them a lot, but the distinction has to be made). So perhaps they could unmothball that 777 data? Hint, hint, PMDG....
Or perhaps they could do something that NOBODY has done before, a detailed simulation of a bizjet. Imagine a highly detailed, PMDG-quality Gulfstream...

Yeah. I do like the PSS A330/340 but I thought the virtual cockpits were OK till I got the PMDG 737. It's difficult to go back as I do use the virtual cockpit a lot since I got Track-IR, the "baseball cap device". The ability to import an FS flightplan is useful, though.

How about something that has not been done well yet?
A340-500
A340-600
A310-300--No offense HNAC, but without wingviews its just not done
DC-8-any version

If LHR27C is correct about airbus w/ the data, then I would also favour a PMDG 777.

I agree about the A320/A330/A340, but their Concorde is VERY good, and even to this day, having just bought the PMDG747, it is still my favourite panel. I am really looking forward to the PSS777 and 757 coming out - hoping their panel's will be up to the standard of the Concorde's.
I agree - I would loke to see a PMDG Airbus but as someone has already said, it requires Airbus's buy-in and apparently they're not interested. I would also like to see a PMDG A320 but same problem.

Mir- "Or perhaps they could do something that NOBODY has done before, a detailed simulation of a bizjet. Imagine a highly detailed, PMDG-quality Gulfstream..."
I have a number of commercial bizjet packages made by Eaglesoft I think, not sure. They are very good quality, especially their Cessna Citation X !!

BINGO!!! Thats what I'd like to see the G-500 or G-550. Or even more so the Global Express.

I have the Eaglesoft Citation II, and while it's good, it is nowhere in the range of PMDG. None of the Eaglesoft planes have an FMC (the II isn't supposed to, but the I and X are). There still is no highly-detailed bizjet for FS.
And regarding the 777, something just occurred to me. PSS, in a move that I don't see the logic behind, is doing two versions that are rarely used (-200LR and -300ER). PMDG could do a much more widespread -200ER (as I said before, they did make one of these for Fly!), and I'd be very happy.

I would like a medium range jet - A320, B757, B767, BAE146 .
Yeah! the B777 and especially the B747 are different but not many people want to do a 6-7 hour flight (or longer) just so that they can get the maximum effect of extra fuel/more weight etc.
To me the PMDG 737 series is almost perfect for the 40-180 minute flights that I like to do.

PMDG=Overpriced, buggy, rushed planes.. At least, that's what the general impression of the 744 is..

An old Plane would be awesome. I also say a DC-10! That would be awesome. Really awesome!
Man a DC-10! Yea!
Or 777 would be nice too. A380 would also be nice. Do them all!
