You have to differentiat between using external code and using custom code. External code means using an external application that feeds into the sim, like the Fenix. Custom code means you overwrite sim code with your own, but still inside the sim technically.
For the IFly example that means: On P3D PMDG had custom code for the ground friction and engine model, the IFLY used the P3D code instead for both. But both were not run externally, that's something else.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

That's an interesting concept. We would need one of the 3rd party devs who knows the MSFS SDK to chyme in on this. That is, maybe one of the 3rd party devs can tell us, how much custom code is allowed using the MSFS SDK, to override the behavior of the MSFS SDK API, without using an external process like Fenix.

A lot of 3rd party developers do read this forum. Maybe one of them can give an answer to this question.

Small correction - PMDG have publicly confirmed in the past that they are running simulations externally (outside the sim) in P3D.

A PMDG 737 MAX would indeed be interesting! And there are rumors that the Fenix team will also bring a 737 Max because their glorious pilot training center Prosim-software actually has a 737 MAX - so it is possible for them to bring a 737 in Fenix-Airbus-quality 😉

We will see what fine airplanes will come in the future......
