737 MAX Still Planned?

[petersej 0]

Is there a 737 MAX still being developed? I haven't heard of any recent announcements from PMDG about their MAX release and was curious if there is still a model being developed.

After the 777 and whatever else they are working on.

Yes. iFly is also making a 737 Max for MSFS.  Either PMDG will come out with the 737 Max first, or iFly will, for MSFS. Randazzo in the Sky Blue radio interview mentioned something like the 737 Max could even come out before the 777.  Randazzo mentioned there was a lot of 737 "fatigue," meaning the market was a bit tired of the 737, so he was inferring that PMDG hasn't pushed out the 737 Max yet because of that. From the Sky Blue radio interview, I get the feeling that PMDG is quite far on the 737 Max, and they are just holding it for now, until the market gets a bit more energetic for its release, since the 737 NG wasn't released that long ago.

In any case, if the iFly 737 enters beta testing for MSFS, I think PMDG will move rather fast on the 737 Max.

I'm excited to once again see new achievements from them in terms of non xbox/marketplace things.

From who?   iFly?  or someone else?

I love PMDG and the 737... I do have a bit of 737 fatigue, but the MAX is not our general 737. The office had an extensive overhaul with many improvements to the flight profile. I am looking forward to the MAX as much as the T7 and 747.

Also has the ability to fly longer missions, sounds different, etc.  Looking forward to having one in the sim.

I was kind of being sarcastic.  As in I'd be happy for any PMDG news not having to do with xbox/marketplace would be welcome by me.

They said probably in between the different 777 versions.
