Still no news from PMDG

We usually get updates each month, but not this time....

They promised the release of the 737 for Q4 2021, which ends in less than 2 months yet we still don't have any interior pictures nor beta test announcement. I'd be very surprised if they don't delay it.

I'm sure it will be here for Christmas.  I remember the days when devs didn't show progress and boom....a product was released hehe.

PMDG are just letting me work plenty of overtime to get my Simming budget back in a healthy state, then they'll  release the 737.😉

AMD 9800X3D,  NZXT X73 RGB AIO COOLER, Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WIFI7, 64GB 6000MHZ RAM, 4TB Samsung Pro NVME, 4 TB Crucial P3+ NVME, 4TB Crucial SSD, Gigabyte Gaming OC Geforce RTX5090, Antec C8 ARGB Case, X55 JOYSTICK/THROTTLES, LG 4K C4 42" TV/Monitor 120 Hz, 2 Dell 1080 monitors.

As part of the PMDG beta team, I can tell you exactly....nothing!  Not because of an NDA in this case...but because of how PMDG compartmentalizes their beta teams.  I'm on "a" beta team (GFO and painters)...but not the 737 beta team.  So I really only know as much as y'all do.

Now...when (if it hasn't already happened...can't disclose either way) they get her to the stage where they want to start augmenting the paints the great PMDG painter hasn't done (you can imagine there are a LOT of 737 liveries), they may throw her to the painters to get more paints ready for release day.  They did this with the last 737 release for P3D, and I was able to have these ready for release day:lyCx64.jpg

I expect to have the same opportunity for the MSFS release, but again can't confirm if it will (or already has) happen(ed).   Its like this hilarious scene from Shrek when you're a member of the PMDG beta team and trying not to disclose what you may (or may not) know:

Patience folks, have we learned from other sims/games before.

A thread for no news? Oh dear.

They better release it before the Fenix Airbus or they'll have to wait a while to get my money. It's going to be an expensive next 6 months! - PMDG 737, Fenix Airbus, Aerosoft Twotter, Milviz ATR, Asobo An-2, AH DC3, Leonardo MD11.. 💰💰💸💸💸💸

The end is near.

Specs: 11900K (5ghz), 64GB ram 3600mhz, RTX 3080 ti

So the last developer update from Fenix's website was October 8th. That's one week after PMDG's last update. Maybe these guys are just busy trying to complete their product.

No news is good news because it means they are hard at work getting her ready for previews and release.

Atleast we don't have to wait another 12+ months for the NG3, atleast I hope we dont...looking at you Asobo!

Don't worry. He'll be there before christmas. It's long, i know. But they're working hard to get it out. They're also working on the tutorial.

Please excuse my ignorance on this, but why is it called the NGXu?  And what real life models of the 737 will it cover?

I can see Steve's repaints of the 600 and 700 models, but I can see 800, 900, and 900EX photos on the internet.  So will it cover all of these eventually?

The msfs version isn’t the ngxu, the ngxu was labelled for the second p3d 737 that was released, originally the ngx3 was suppose to be a p3d thing but then things changed with msfs and i believe PMDG labeled the p3d second release ngxu - u being for update to their original 737 for p3d…msfs release is now the ngx3

I believe Steve’s repaints that you see are from P3D. I have to believe the rollout will be the same as before. The 800/900 will be first with the 600/700 to follow as an add on. I could be wrong but this is the way PMDG has done it previously.
