The big problem is that you can not have network gauges, or control the aircrafts systems with any hardware devices, beacuse does not support Fsuipc offsets. So when you are in level flight and you turning left or right autopilot will not "loose" the altitude and it starts the turn by remaining in level flight. This means that all the aircraft's systems are working very very good and autopilot controls the aircraft almost perfect, because autopilot supports the specific aircraft and not any aircraft like PM's autopilot. It is a good and complete aircraft solution, with all the systems and also it's *.air file.

I hope that Enrico will do something for this in the future :-)PMDG's s/w is for a single PC user with one or more monitors in the same PC. The major problem until now, is that PM does not have a complete aircraft package (or all type aircrafts) with it's own air file and config files, so it will be better for autopilot to knows well what to do in specific aircraft and what to expect from the aircraft's systems, weight, model, etc. So you can fly 737, 757, 767, 777 or 747, but you have to add your aircraft files. PM supports almost all the Boeing types, when you buy Boeing version. It supports for Boeing or Airbus aircrafts the FMC/CDU, MCP & EFIS, PFD & ND, EICAS and the new upcoming program PMsystems for Overhead panels etc. Today PM's s/w it's the only one and complete solution. It's really very exiting to turn a knob for change the speed or the heading, insterad click with the mouse. I have both PM and PMDG products.They are totally diferent and i use both of them.PM's s/w is for home cockpit builders or people they want to fly with more than one PC, to have network gauges and if they want to have tha ability to connect FMC or MCP and EFIS with hardware devices.

PMDG has full system integration, that means:exact type specific system reproduction, autopilot behaviour, autopilot modes and fmc menus, etc.PM is more focused on cockpit building, so the major pros are the scalability of the system, the fact that it's networkable, low computer specs needed, etc.Overall each one has its own pros and cons.It's true that PM uses default AP, but that's not all there is to it.PM (if you have the FMC module) calculates pitch modes, vertical speed, bank and so on, just like any other commercial package.Just that to apply that values, it uses the default AP.Admittedly this can result in less precision then commercial airplane packages, just because PM can't be complitely indipendent from FS own AP and so will inherit its problems.Surely PM has done a great job improving their software to smooth flying performances and limit FS errors.But technically, unless it starts piloting airplanes via joystick inputs, it can't reach the same level of accuracy as PMDG.Anyway i do not own PM and can't speak very well for it, i only tried it and read about it.
