I would guess a normal beta test will will take PMDG 2 to 3 months.  And PMDG just entered beta testing over the last week. This would put a release date between April to June.  

 

Usually when they allow beta testers to show what they are seeing it usually is two weeks + out; perhaps March for a release as it is just the -700 initially.  We can hope.😄

Terrible sound, but otherwise marvelous. Hope that they at a later update add some wing flexing as now it looks a little dead.

Did you miss the opening paragraph in the video?

Considering the complexity of an addon like this and how short the video is, I find it surprising anybody could focus on something they think is missing!

Hell yeah!!!!!!!! It's getting close!!!! I can't wait!!!!!

Calm down. It's very very close. Close your eyes and when you open it again it will already be release.

Gorgeous news! ❤️ I feel like i'm going to have a great weekend! 

I used FS 2 Crew with the P3D version, I wonder if they are going to come out with a version that will work for this newer version of the 737?

Yeap, after the release of CRJ.

I haven't bought a PMDG product since FS2004.

I will be buying this.

AB verses Boing

with the 737 you get more BOING for your buck.

This is a good example of "you get what you pay for". PMDG is head and shoulders above the competition and their FSX product never left me disappointed. Although I have very high expectations for this most recent iteration of the B737, I have no doubt I will be very impressed.

Here a comparaison of the screens between addons.

Exactly this.. Its certain when you buy a PMDG product, you will not get skunked on a half baked product.

The stuttering particularly around the pushback were noticeably bad. That hopefully will be addressed in beta with some optimisation improvements.

Keep in mind this is a recording of the sim edited in a video editor and uploaded to YouTube. I always thought it was strange to make judgements about stutters and/or FPS based on a video. The stutters may also not even be caused by the addon. I'll judge performance when it's running on thousands of people's PCs including my own.

The displays look sharper in the NGXu in P3D so I'm not worrying they're going to release this as it is in the video. The information on the ND also seems to be slightly too far left, e. g. the GS in the top left corner looks almost like it's cut off a little. I'm sure this is still something to be corrected.

I had all the variations of the PMDG 737 in P3D, and flew them for a couple of years. Looking at the videos, everything on the flight deck looked pretty much the same. I probably will pass on this one. 

I agree, but I wasn't expecting it either. The VC of the CRJ looks just the same in P3D as in MSFS. What does make a difference, though, for the CRJ and for the 737 is lighting. That's fantastic in MSFS and really makes everything look much better.
