[24AUG22] PMDG 737 for Microsoft Flight Simulator Product Line - Micro Update for 737-600 & 737-700 operators

[rsrandazzo]

Captains,

We have made available new updates for the PMDG 737-600 for MSFS and the PMDG 737-700 for MSFS. These updates are available to you via the PMDG Operations Center.

To update your PMDG 737, simply run the Operations Center, then click AIRCRAFT AND LIVERIES, then PRODUCT UPDATES. On this page will be displayed a list of the PMDG products that you have installed. (If you see nothing but a "CHECK NOW" button, click that button!)

Once the update has propagated to your part of the globe (propagation might take a bit, as it works it's way through the cloud system) you will see the update show available on the associated 737 product. Click the update button and off you go!

There are a number of changes in this build, and a mostly complete change list is included below.

This marks the sixth update cycle for the 737 series since it was launched back in May. This continual rate of update and improvement shows our team's commitment to ensuring that all MSFS users wind up with a truly fantastic simulation experience, whether you are primarily interested in visual exploration, or you are looking for a really in-depth simulation that allows you to experience the complexity of operating a modern airliner properly.

We have plenty more coming for you- so keep checking back here, or watch the Operations Center for further updates!

Thanks for your support, as always- and happy flying!

[valexyo]

[CaptainTom]

So many emotions are running through my brain right now! 🤯

[Pablo Vazquez]

Thank you, Sir :-)

[S3rg1o]

Nice! thanks for the update! looking forward for the 800

[BrunoT]

Awesome news, thanks to you Robert and the whole team !

[davidnorfolk96]

What a tease

[Scratch335]

Yet another brilliant update from team PMDG - Thanks as always. It has to be said that I was also hoping for the potential release of something else . Let's hope the weekend brings even more joy.

[fahdriyami]

Was just about ready to jump out of bed and head to the PMDG store, but alas, not just yet. 😅

Edit: And just like that, I jumped out of bed! Thank you PMDG!

0011797: [General - Unsure] Load screen message shows "737-700" while compiling the 800 (rsrandazzo)

Interesting.

[DrVenkman]

So I've enabled window shades on the -600 and -700 liveries that I spawned into after the updates. Where's the clickspot for the shade you can move along the track from side to side? The pullout-clipped shades on the side windows work great but I can't find that other clickspot.

[Steve Dra]

after you click it from the storage bin to put it on the rail....click on the Green part until you see the <-- --> mouse curser and then drag it to the front

[DrVenkman]

Thank you, Steve Dra! As soon as I saw it down there to my left, I remembered seeing @Emi's stream where he showed that. Totally slipped my mind this afternoon. #Hero

[MFDC3]

So what about the 737-800? Any info on a release date?

Patience my Padawan. It will be released when it's ready.

And the fact that a "Placeholder" has been created in the Store is an indication that release may be right around the corner.

[Steve Dra]

What a tease

//tease mode off.

Now THAT is a tease.

[fahdriyami]

Ooh, this looks fresh!

Oman Air too please 🙏

https://flightsim.to/request/livery/17155/oman-air-pmdg-737-800

[Steve Dra]

I saw your request fahdriyami but Oman Air is not my specialty. I love the livery but never painted it. Never fear though...there are so many great painters out there and i"m sure one will pick it up.

[Mroberts95]

Why does PMDG feel the need to tease when its the most hyped variant of the 737.

[Arty57]

Because they can. It’s a harmless tease (737-800) and the two previous planes (600/700) got generous and rich updates. No tease there.

[Ahsmatt7]

[HDR10]

Calm down. It's most likely coming out sometime today.

[Bolton]

So what about the 737-800? Any info on a release date?

Everyone has to wait till RSR & everyone else at pmdg has enough bottles of champagne chilled for their celebration at a job well done, boy, do they deserve that celebration 🍾 👏 👍

[leinsters]

Smart move - get the 736, 737 updated and done before the grand launch of the one we've been waiting for... otherwise it would have been a pretty massive freaking update in one shot! Thank you PMDG!

Between us psychopaths😂, to say. Keep it up. Great job and update.
You are a professional Robert 😉

[rsrandazzo]

Thanks, Mariusz! - RSR

[shamrock]

The window shades are unclickable for me. I loaded the BDSF and the shades weren't added within the options menu but still were showing, enabling them doesn't fix the issue. Any ideas?

[Traveling Ray]

The shades work.

Always follow this procedure after every update. Quoted from the Introduction Manual pg 0.00.36

First Time Load After Install May Have Unexpected Problems:
We recommend that you end the flight and close MSFS after having loaded the airplane for the first time after you’ve installed it.
Restart MSFS and load the aircraft a second and subsequent time to ensure that all parts and pieces of the code are working as expected. Common problems that may occur on the initial load include sound stutters and missing annunciations, amongst others.

[shamrock]

Ah yes I remember reading that now, I had totally forotten about that method. Thanks for reminding me.
