This is a copy of a posting by Robert Randazzo (The Big Guy at PMDG) about the 737NGX Project, and how the project is quickly approaching release.
--- The silence on our end is actually a good thing. We are all head down on the final wrap-up... Right now Dr. Vaos and I are working about 15-18hrs per day seven days per week, Alex is at about 10-12.. The rest of the team has moved on to the next project and the NGX is rapidly nearing release. But more on that later.
Now as to these "rumors" you cite: They are... Uhm... (how to put this so that Tom won't get mad at me...): Bovine Scatology...
I guess what you are trying to be coy in asking is actually two questions:
1) Is the NGX late because of some internal disfunction?: Yes... Actually- it is, but this is three year old news and that problem was excised back in 2008, almost precisely three years ago this week. We've been hearing this same "BS" (see: Bovine Scatology, above. ) rumor the past few days- and it has created quite a bit of sordid humor within the team that I can't share without Tom banning me for life.
2) Are there any issues that might delay/prevent release? No. From a technical standpoint the development is essentially finished and we are in detail/optimization/cleanup mode- and while all of us are eagerly looking forward to release, we refuse to push her out the door until she is perfect...
I had the opportunity to demo the airplane for some friends at Boeing Test Flight a few weeks ago, and they were stunned by the detail and the quality...
So- as always we remain focused on what we are good at...
I'll have a longer post for with more details this week, but for now I have to finish testing the fluid model in Hydraulics before Dr. Vaos accuses me of making a project out of it.
