Precision Manuals Development Group (often abbreviated as PMDG) is a commercial add-on aircraft developer for the Microsoft Flight Simulator, Lockheed Martin Prepar3D,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://precisionmanuals.com/pages/product/P3D/777LRF.html )〕 and X-Plane series. The company was founded by airline pilot Robert Randazzo, who stated that his ultimate goal was to develop the software to the point where it could be used by airlines and manufacturers to supplement pilot training. The company is based out of Virginia but has several employees in countries such Belgium, South Africa, and Canada.〔 It has nine employees as of 2009, with a collection of beta testers which include multiple aviation professionals. PMDG's software has received praise for its realism.〔 This led the company to be one of several flight simulation companies that were criticized in the wake of the September 11 attacks, as some critics felt that the software made it easier for potential terrorists to learn to fly commercial planes. ==Company background== The company began by producing detailed flight manuals, hence its name. However, the company soon moved on to developing add-on aircraft after creating only two manuals for the Microsoft Flight Simulator 747 and 757. The first aircraft development was a package of the Boeing 757 and Boeing 767 for the Fly! simulator, which could be played on Macintosh or PC. On 25 October 2014, it was announced on PMDG's AVSIM forum, that the Boeing 777-200LR base package will be available on the Prepar3D platform. With employees and contractors working around the world, PMDG is headquartered in Northern Nevada, approximately 15 nm north of Reno-Tahoe International Airport. On June 4, 2012, PMDG announced that they would move back to Virginia, where the company was founded. Robert Randazzo, the CEO of PMDG, gave a presentation at FlightSimCon in June 2015. 〔http://www.pcpilot.net/view_article.asp?ID=9233&pubID=8&t=2&s=0&p=1&i=10〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Precision Manuals Development Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
