A new update has landed for the PMDG 737s in MSFS
PMDG has issued a new update for the entire 737 product line in Microsoft Flight Simulator. It’s the eighth update since the 737-700 launched back in May. Since then, PMDG has logged nearly 400 fixes and improvements to the product.
If you were hoping to get the much-awaited PMDG Flight Tablet, you will have to wait a little longer. PMDG continues hard at work developing that particular feature, but it’s still not ready to come out. Not even to show to the public, as PMDG kindly pointed out with the funny trolling image of an in-flight tablet from a few days ago.
What we’re getting with this update is a series of general fixes and enhancements to the whole PMDG 737 experience in MSFS, which range from visual improvements to the aircraft’s model to fixes on ALT holds and more.
Check below the full changelog for this new version of the PMDG 737 (3.00.0042) and remember to fire up your PMDG Operations Center to get the update. Note that Sim Update 11 Beta, which has just started to show up for testers to install, is currently incompatible with the PMDG 737 and should be avoided if you wish to fly this aircraft.
