Who is this man with all the cool memorabilia in his office and teasing us with a 757?

Looks like a lot of good things are coming from PMDG for MSFS 2020!

[davidnorfolk96]

That's RSR

[LuisKMIA]

And here is the full story: https://fselite.net/news/pmdg-dc-6-7...n-development/

[Captain Kevin]

Interesting.

[shamrock]

As he announces they have 14 products in line, in my opinion we know what all 13 of them are but there is one that hasn't been hinted at yet - maybe a DC3?

[matrosov]

As he announces they have 14 products in line, in my opinion we know what all 13 of them are but there is one that hasn't been hinted at yet - maybe a DC3?

Which ones? 737,747,777 DC6 and now 757 What's the other 8? Or are we counting variants too as separate products?

[swood721]

The 757 and 767 actually aren't very similar at all. The cockpits are similar so they have a common type rating and we operate them similarly, but the systems are completely different. To the level that PMDG develops products, it wouldn't save them much because they really and truly are two completely different airplanes. That being said, I really, really hope they develop both. The 767 (so far) is hands down my favorite plane I've flown.

[Yoshua]

How the 767 and 757 are built is similar. Structurally I'm not sure if they are but none of that matters for us in the sim.

[Kevin Hall]

It's not the structure, it's the systems. The flightdeck is nearly identical but the systems are quite different.

[swood721]

I've been waiting for a 757 and/or 767 for so long, so I really hope this is true. I fly the 756 for a large US airline and the current sim offerings are....lacking. I will be one happy camper if/when this comes to fruition.

[Ops Normal]

I pray to the heavens that a 727 is also on his Desk.

[Transair]

Yes...ROBERT IF YOU'RE LISTENING, the 727 is so badly wanted............

FF 757 for XP11?

[EasternT3]

shamrock, I do hope you're wrong (in a nice way) because for the 737 you'll be missing the -900 (which arguably is more needed than the -600), BBJs, and BCF/BDSF, I'll have a guess at the 14 being product packs, i.e more than 1 variant in a pack. As I have a feeling the JS41 is one too

[shamrock]

Ah yes I forgot about the 900 :/

[JWarner32]

JS41 definitely won't be one of the aircraft in the pipeline. They've already said they've decided on what is in the pipeline and hinted at a 757. They've got this, plus the 747, 777, and the 737 to work with + updates to DC-6 and the other products being pushed into MSFS.

[EasternT3]

I would say that saying "definitely" seems inccorrect (unless you work for PMDG and know other things), I mention the JS41 because somewhere in the operations centre, it mentions the JS41 for MSFS, therefore I thinks a fair assumption we could see it in MSFS - unless this was a previous thought, although RSR did say the new aircraft has been know for a couple years at least

Also, they mention 14 products for MSFS, even with the current 3 boeings, the hinted 757 and DC6, I fail to see how that makes 14?

EDIT : RSR in the interview pinned has said the 41 is likely to come to MSFS at some point

[Ephedrin]

Seven five…

ROBERT THANK YOU 😍😍😍😍

[Nuno Pinto]

Is there room for the... MD-11? There, i said it

[Yoshua]

I know it's not PMDG but TFDI is pretty good and they're coming out with a MD11 for P3D and MSFS

[Nuno Pinto]

Yeah, i know. Old joke and i trust TFDi's MD-11 will be superb.

[BelgianTiger_2]

Would have liked the 767 more,but i'll take it .I just hope the F will be included.

It makes the wait for the Level-D 757 finally over .

brgds,
Steven Ghion

[Transair]

Robert - if you're listening, the 727 is badly wanted ...hope it's on your list....

PJ Transair

[LuisKMIA]

For present day ops, I would love the 787!

[JWarner32]

SAME! The QW 787 is nice, but it's too.... computer-ish. I'd love a study-level feel to it =)

[Steve Dra]

I don't know about you guys....but I KNOW there is also going to be a 767 and 727 released, as I broke into rsrandazzo 's office last night and placed a model of each on his desk.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the next team meeting when he asks about the progress on those aircraft. 🤣

PS: Guys....don't break the door jamb to get in...the code is 8675309. 😁

[rsrandazzo]

Steve- Since none of us could remember the door code, we put it on the airworthiness certificate in the VC of the 737... Is that where you got it? -RSR

[Swaluver88]

the door code can very well be 8675 or 309

had to take the opportunity

[Steve Dra]

@RSR: While that is a good place to store your door codes....you just have to sing that number and its origin will be obvious.

@Swaluver88: if you listen closely...its actually 8675 -309....e-9 LOL. And...I got the number on the wall.

[Steven Silva]

I am praying for the B767 and the B727 for P3D and MSFS Rob listen to our pleas please we ask you

[stopnicki]

Rob:

Do you see how easy it is to get us talking and stop complaining that "...there hasn't been an update for xxx days!..."

When this excitement ebbs, just lift ... I don't know .... a cup of coffee? .....

And new speculation and comments will abound!

As long as something is being developed at PMDG, we know it'll be good!

Many regards
Roberto

[Swagger897]

*cries internally knowing I’m going to have to wait even longer for a decent A350*

[JWarner32]

I really wish someone would make a study-level A350. Hell, even Aerosoft. I just want an A350. I'm not even an Airbus guy and that plane makes me tingle.

[Bob_Z]

We need a 787 more than a 757.

[EasternT3]

Depends who you ask An aircraft choice isn't going to please everyone, PMDG may also have a 787 in the works as well

[Flyboy66]

Don't know if its dead in the water, Comment section suggest otherwise... but QW should still be working on their 787.

I welcome the 757-200, think the market need a 757/767!

[EasternT3]

QW are working on their 787 as far as I know, I know it's not the highest quality but "it does the job", we don't have a 757 where we can say that (imo)

[CaptainGabe]

After carefully adjusting contrast, lighting and the newest form of image sharpening, from the looks of it, a 707 is in the works as well.

Saha_Air_Boeing_707_Haghgoo-2.jpg 707.png
🕵 No secrets here people, the evidence is in front of us.

[Ephedrin]

Mhm, and a DC3, apparently

[JWarner32]

That's not his desk, and that's an E-3.... Rip

[TrevorHannant]

That's not his desk...

[MCarter]

A PMDG 757 and a 767 will be a most welcome addition to the FS world. I'm also hoping that the cockpit display upgrades will also be included!

If I'm also seeing a 787 and a 707 model, I think we are in for a treat. As others have suggested, I hope there is a 727 model on that desk!

[swood721]

FF 757 for XP11?

I've never tried FF but I've heard they're pretty good. I don't use XP, I was speaking of the offerings for P3D.

[swood721]

As an aside, I do love the model Robert chose. The Saul Bass livery is still one of the most beautiful, in my opinion. Though I will say, the trip I'm currently flying has had a number of aircraft in our new paint job and it's actually pretty striking up close. Battleship Gray is way up there too.

[Alexiyi]

These teasings have no sense without confirmation. As for me I like facts. When PMDG is ready to announce the plane in development we will know about it. Anyway I am waiting for 737MAX, because 757 or 767 or 787 or etc very long away from release and MAX is just near here but the same time far away.

[Flyboy66]

What would be the point in the MAX when they're working on the 737NG3? Its just another 737, now undoubted in the future they'll probably be one, but what the market need is a 757/767 IMO.

[davidnorfolk96]

There's already a MAX in the works. I believe it is an expansion to the ngxu. They just couldn't release it due to what happened irl

[JWarner32]

What's the issue with releasing the MAX due to what happened irl? I'm not sure I understand. I'd love for someone to explain =)

[Bart]

That was a great presentation RSR did on the stream, I really enjoyed it.

I sincerely hope he fired the sound engineer though, having that failure when he did. If it weren't for that we would all know the release date for the 737 now!.

[Procamper96]

Adding my enthusiasm for a 767 to the list... I'm ALMOST as excited about the 757 tease as I would be for a 767, especially with a cargo variant...

[rsrandazzo]

I pray to the heavens that a 727 is also on his Desk.

Onela,

ThisIsA727.jpg

You mean one of these, right? It sits right behind me. This one came from the Museum of Flight and flew on the last flight of N7001U. I cleaned the lavatories on this airplane at the beginning of my airline career. Humble beginnings, but still more fun than a real job. :-)

-RSR

[Ephedrin]

And totally by accident a DC3 in the picture.. what a tease lol

[ual763]

Robert, if you don’t have it already, I highly recommend this book on the restoration of this aircraft. The details are fantastic in it.

https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Terris-T...S%2CB0000AY4YT

[HighFlier]

Hold on now guys. Rob said the 727 sits behind him… Unless he has a wrap around desk, that 727 isn’t on his desk. The picture where he holds the 757 shows a bookshelf with quite a few planes on top. The 727 probably sits on a shelf.

[ExcelAirways.UK]

I think I heard Rob say PMDG will be 21 or 25 years old next year, wow how fast does time go, wasn't the 757 their first product so how fitting would it be to get a brand new 757 from them on the anniversary next year

Peter Graves

[Steven Silva]

& 1. B767 & B727

[ExcelAirways.UK]

Ah the B767 Definately, especially the -200

[Steven Silva]

I personally love all the variants of the B767. If someday PMDG comes to give life to the B767 for P3D / MSFS they will have a lot of fun since the B767 has many things like the B727 and this work can only be done by PMDG and rsrandazzo
