PMDG Update June 17th

[JRBarrett 3,070]

RSR has posted a status update on 737 development.

Summary:

LNAV V2 is almost ready, and will release with the -600 and be rolled into the existing -700 at the same time or shortly thereafter. Though he did not give a firm date, I suspect it will probably be 3 or 4 weeks.

The new LNAV will be added to the P3D 737 product line, but he emphasized that at the moment, MSFS development is taking priority.

Substantial improvements have been make to cockpit animations - in particular the trim wheel, but this will also apply to other animations such as the landing gear lever.

It is confirmed that the new EFB will have Simbrief integration and Navigraph charts. Though he did not specify how that is accomplished, it is likely the EFB is written in JavaScript/HTML instead of WASM

Whats wrong with the “old” LNAV?

Focus on visual improvements... reading this is "to drop your word not allowed"

Without a good reason they would not spend so many months re-doing that one.

I wonder if this issue affects the wing flex, it also appears to have low FPS animation.

So much for biweekly updates (patches).

It's more like a "Lie NAV" 🤣

Deserved.

When will the abysmal texture work on the cabin and the outside be fixed?

@JRBarrett Thanks for the TLDR synopsis, RSR doesn't half waffle on sometimes!

Hopefully the stupid not working 2D pop up panels from the outsideview is fixed with the next coming update..🤔
