After a brief hiatus, PMDG is back in the flight sim skies—and they’re ready to fire up the engines again.
In a post titled “That was a fun little hiatus… Now let’s get back at it, shall we?”, PMDG representative rsrandazzo greeted the community and signaled a refreshed commitment to development and communication.
“Captains, well it has been a bit since I have had a chance to say hello…”
What the Hiatus Meant
While PMDG didn’t go completely silent, the tone of the message suggests a pause in large-scale updates or public outreach. The post’s thread has already drawn numerous responses — a clear indication of how closely the community watches for every word.
What’s Next?
Though the post doesn’t list a full development roadmap, it’s clear the company’s message is one of renewed momentum. Among the community replies, a few key themes emerge:
-
Reengagement with users: The way the post addresses “Captains” by name suggests a desire to re-open dialogue.
-
Focus on enjoyment: One respondent highlights a line from the thread: “HAVE FUN: This is the whole point of it all.”
-
Eyes on future releases: Observers speculate that returning attention to previously shelved or delayed projects (such as further work on the 737 or other models) may be on the table again.
One name that appears among the responses is Mathijs [PMDG], suggesting internal PMDG team members are active in the thread and monitoring community sentiment.
Community Reaction
The community’s reception has been warm and expectant. Many users in the replies express enthusiasm — not just relief that PMDG is active again, but hope that development momentum will build from here. That said, some are watching closely for more concrete commitments:
-
Will we see more frequent public updates?
-
Which product lines will regain priority?
-
How will PMDG balance ongoing maintenance with new development?
