[23JUL22] PMDG 737 for Microsoft Flight Simulator Updates and General News for Your Weekend

[jehan2256]

Thanks for the update. Very pleased to hear that the -800 is expected in mid August!

[CAPT Shark]

Great news! And thank you and the PMDG team on your continued work! Really looking forward to the -800, but depending on release date I may have to wait until the end of the month as I will be in French Polynesia for 2 weeks. 😉

[EasternT3]

Thanks for the update Captain

[VoyagerP3D]

the -800 is finally around the corner. That's a great news
Now let's talk about the T7 and QOTS

This is still open on our internal ticket system and will be fixed. The other item on taht ticket about the beacon is due to how sim treats small objects when you are moving further of them "small parts rejection radius". Since there are two beacon options we can not bybapss this

[eren4787]

Looks cool.

You guys have plan for xbox after SU10 WASM fix ? There are plenty of hardcore simmers in xbox like me lol.

[Ephedrin]

XBOX release is planned and desired but it is fully up to Asobo and Microsoft to make it possible. As soon as they did their homework and as soon as PMDG feels confident that the offered ways to update the airplane are satisfying (enough) it will come to XBox as well.

[McFly1985]

Hey.....what about P-8 Poseidon version? 😁

Thanks for all

[ThomasALW]

Oscar, I would personally love to see that too, but it seems that the aircraft is vastly different from the other 737s in systems. It would be pretty much modelling an entirely separate aircraft.

[Gerardius]

Fantastic update, thank you very much, I'm going to try it out!

I've been with SU10 Beta since day one and, except for a punctual freeze of the aircraft systems, since the last version the 737-700 works perfectly, yesterday I made a flight of almost four hours without any problem. A real pleasure to enjoy this marvel. I also have the Fenix A320 CEO and I also enjoy it very much, so much that every day I make the same flight, first with the PMDG and then with the Fenix.

This is a wonderful time for simulation, I never thought I would get to see something like this. It has caught me a bit older, but I hope to have a few years to enjoy it.

[Hugothester]

Really looking forward to it! The EFB will be a game-changer for the 737

[JetMech383]

Mr. Randazzo,

Just want to say thank you for this 737! I love flying this aircraft and can't wait to see your future products. I appreciate you and the team listening to the issues that arise and the work you all put in to rectify them. Keep up the great work, sir!!

[amahran]

Looking forward to seeing the -800 debut in the MSFS marketplace…

Hey.....what about P-8 Poseidon version? 😁

Thanks for all

Yes P-8 Poseidon version

[Want2BFlyin]

Yes P-8 Poseidon version

For obvious reasons, PMDG does not have access to the detailed information that would be required to create a proper simulation of the P-8. While it would theoretically be possible to create a "visual only" model of the P-8, PMDG has previously stated that they will no longer be making any "visual only" aircraft models. It is unlikely that we will see a P-8 created by PMDG in MSFS.

[Legomaniac]

They have made a P-8 in the past with the NGX package. However, I don't know if it was a visual only model or not.

[Want2BFlyin]

@Legomaniac

The previous P-8 was indeed a visual-only model. All of the systems and the flight model were the base 737.

[Angus]

Thanks for fixing the nose wheel on the BBJ was driving me nuts lol

[rsrandazzo]

Angus- Me too. - RSR

[MisakaSkywalker]

So will you start working on 777 after the release of -800 as you said?

[EasternT3]

the -900 will release and then according to latest information, then the primary dev cycle will be the 777 (unless it's changed to the 747 first)

[rsrandazzo]

Lin- Long lead items for the 777 are already under way. There is quite a bit of overlap as we start to move from one project to another. -RSR

[DrFilippas]

rsrandazzo Robert, just a question, is there any ETA for the MAX family? Will it come after the 747 or there are projects before?

[Danilo]

We getting sdk documentation as promised? ??????

[Freightdawg]

RSR can i start bugging you about the 747 or too early 😀 Thx for the update looking forward to the EFB

[Pablo Vazquez]

RSR can i start bugging you about the 747 or too early 😀

Can I bug him too? 😁

[Iceman7]

Thanks for update!

[PelicanEagle]

I have to say proudly that PMDG is the best in all aspect of emulating real facts about aviation Educational,entertainment, hobbies to do this isn’t easy and there is lot of great reasons to wait because it is alway great to patiently just HOLD for the final result which is impressive to enjoy in great details of a representation of the REAL THING; It takes years for Boeing to design and certify an Airplane yet; PMDG takes a few months to bring it to us in a digitally form simply emulated. Thank you Robert for such a great 737 if this program would it be on a level D perhaps FAA would certify for real training! -)RO

[fakeflyer737]

I really hope you guys don't back out before the 900/ER is done, I really really wants the 900.

[EasternT3]

I don't see why they would?

[Galdeano]

Despite the delay for the -600 i'm very very happy to see that the -800 is still scheduled for August! I'm waiting for him (and 777-LR ).


Thanks Rob.

[Mucdude]

Update on the 736, 737 and 738...Where's the love for the 739?!?😁 That's the one I'm waiting for to finally have something to fly A321 routes with.

[Peter Webber]

Well done PMDG. Nice update. I browsed through the changelog very quickly but I notice the gear retraction is fixed now using my Thrustmaster Boeing yoke.... Gear retracts normally after single lever operation. No double flick required. Good job.

[fmloyola]

Thanks for the update!

[Toninomex]

Thank youuuuu for the update!!

[Reymez95]

Thank you for the update!

[phrgflyer419]

Great update. Looking forward to getting the -600 and the upgrade for the -700. Hope all is still on schedule.

[mierigson]

Hi Robert. Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the 737-800 release. Looking at some videos when youtuber used the MSFS check list menu, I saw a little misspelled "Hydraulick" on it.
