Are we going to have these available to fly in our fleet? I only ask due to the fact of PMDG's release in the new future. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Northwest-Airlink-(Express/British-Aerospace-BAe-3101/0834449/L/

Well, all the a/c in the fleet library is freeware and even then, we have to get permission from the authors to put it up.

I think he means to be able to log them. Currently, I don't believe they're in our ratings.

Oh, i'm sorry, I think I see what you're saying; and you're right, it's not in the ratings right now. Release date, don't know. I will say though that this may cause a precedent that staff won't be able to handle. There are tons of a/c that were formerly flown by ASA/Comair, etc that isn't a rating and to add this, others will want other a/c to be added and I can see it getting out of hand. Only good answer will be to email Terry directly.

I found some pics on Airliner's.net of some Delta Connection J-41s (Trans State Airlines); tail numbers N555HK and N550HK. As for PMDG's release date, everything is still hush-hush, which is pretty much the norm. Supposedly it will be out this summer.

The PMDG J-41 (by the way, it's FSX only) is currently in beta testing and it may be released in May if everything goes as planned. I really hope staff will create J-41 ratings. Personally, I'll buy it because a lot of the development methods used for the J-41 will also be used for the 737 ( like new gauge creating methods, new VC animation methods, new modeling techniques etc) so I just want to see what's in store. Besides, some VOR to VOR navigation is very interesting and it's way more rewarding than the fancy FMC stuff.

Let's see: J41 - twin turboprop, empty weight 14K... EM120 - twin turboprop, empty weight ~15K...
SO put a BIG sign on your J41 that says "EMB120" and your problem is solved if you understand
what I mean
