PMDG stands for precision manuals devolopment Group ( It's a company that makes highly realistic aircraft. Even SWFO ( a first officer
for Southwest Airlines says it's very similar to the real jets! check it out here

Thnaks for the quick response!! I will check it out now!!!

PMDG makes the best 737 NG add on for simulated flying. It just doesn't get any better for PC users.

Here's a question from another forum:
"Hi there
I'm not regular here in this part of the forum but figured that this might be the best place to ask
I have a friend who Flys Eagle Airways B1900D Link Service in New Zealand. He has a possible opportunity to fly Air New Zealand 737 's
After his inteview test he did not get that position however they are interested in keeping him for future oportunitys. One thing they actual
said to him was to get Simulator experience using Microsoft Flightsimulator " He thought they were jokeing " they were not .As my friend
has Really no computer suitable for such training I thought I would get a list of Software and Equipment he needs for such simulation if
he goes that way.
Priorty is Flight model engine realism /Panels /
What is available /Freeware /Payware /Air New Zealand 737's
Please list Best Acurate as possible Freeware first then payware
Your submissions appreciated"
Of course, the proposed A/C was PMDG!
BTW. SWAFO, what do you think, would SW reccomend the same thing to you?
Re: PMDG?!?!?!? - SWAFO - 13-07-2005
I think they would! We do everything against the standards, and in fun and unique ways, so I wouldn't be suprised if they make
recommendations to new recruits that aren't yet type rated.
Quite a few of my buddies at work mess around with FS2004 (I'm the only one that does it as a serious hobby). They've all got the PMDG,
and I've got to get them hooked on FSP now!

SWAFO, got a question for you friend: What makes an airline pilot, who flies pretty much every day for a living want to do the same thing
as a hobby? I mean I know a lot of airline pilots who spend a good chunk of summer weekends flying Spitfires and stuff at airshows, but
to want to fly pax around in a simulator when you get to do it for real? Hope you don't mind me asking and hope the way it's asked didn't
sound offensive, just intreagued to know that's all.

Hey, John, check out this one:

Re: PMDG?!?!?!? - SWAFO - 13-07-2005
John,
That question is one I get often. Mainly from my co-workers, however it is an understandable question. If I spend 25-50 hours a
week flying a 737, what makes me want to get in a simulator and put in a couple of hours a week? The answer is simple; love for
aviation, and the aviation community. A large part of the aviation community circles around flight simulation, and I like talking with the
people, and sharing experiences.
I probably only put in about 2-3 hours a week on FS2004, and I like doing it simply because I'm free to mess around, and practice or
do things that I wouldn't do in reality. I can test the limits of the aircraft in FS, I can test the limits of the PAX now with FSP (hehe), and I
can relax from the stress of carrying 137 PAX (although Dan doesn't help that much now.. lol), and have a good time with my favorite
hobby in the world, aviation. Whether it be simulated or real, I like it!
I just woke up, so I hope this post makes sense.
Re: PMDG?!?!?!? - jboweruk - 13-07-2005
Thanks Brad, it just puzzled me, as there's no way if somebody brought out a Customer Service Simulator I'd play it... LOL. But I can see
where you are coming from.
Re: PMDG?!?!?!? - JayKae - 13-07-2005
Just be careful the PMDG 737 can be a bit tricky for " unexperienced" simmers though
Re: PMDG?!?!?!? - SWAFO - 14-07-2005
Just a "bit" tricky, eh? lol. I would think it would be a LOT overwhelming for the inexperienced simmer.
