Well, it's been an interesting day over at PMDG!
First off, they did indeed release the 737 NGX, as promised.
However, at around the same time, their servers were targeted by a nasty denial-of-service cyberattack, apparently originating from China. This attack forced PMDG to take their servers offline for a while. As of this writing, they are still offline, but hope to be back up again soon.
Speculation in the forums is rampant that the perps may be sympathetic to the competing iFly 737 product, which was developed at least partially in China. However, PMDG has downplayed this suggestion, and urges everyone not to jump to conclusions.
I think I'll wait at least a few days for the stampede to die down, then I'll order by NGX in an orderly fashion. Hope to have a mini-review up here in a week or two.
Elsewhere, AVSIM's forums (where PMDG's user forums are hosted) were also offline due to technical difficulties earlier today. Not exactly the smooth launch PMDG was hoping for, I suspect. Nonetheless, these are just minor blips along the way, and everyone should be enjoying their new NGX's very shortly.
