May 11, 20224 yr A couple of issues on a short test flight with this new PMDG 737. Issues inherited from the P3D and never fixed carried over to the MSFS. A/P still shows intermittent jerkiness during operations, especially on intercepts (LNAV, IAN or LOC). There are instances where the airplane will bank only 15 degrees and overshoot the intercepts in LNAV or LOC as much as 1 NM L/R of course. Intermittent altitude busts are still present in excess of 200FT. On 4 occasions after exiting PAUSE, the airplane will lose control with a nose-dive and uncommanded trim down situation. Nose wheel steering was sensitive in P3D after they enhanced it, now in MSFS is totally unrealistic. Yes, this nose wheel steering is a big issue with ASOBO and for some reason is still there, BUT 414, 146, EMB110, and MD85 developers managed to get it acceptable with a few extra adjustments, except the PMDG 737. With respect to eye-candy stuff, thumbs up! Otherwise in certain aspects very disappointed even compared to P3D. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
