Maybe you'd prefer to hear nothing? At least the time was taken to say something.

Exactly that, until they actually have something to say that they haven't said over and over for the last year.

Wonder what plane they'll go for after these?

The Jetstream 41?

I sure hope this update on the PMDG 737 fixes the autopilot...right now it flies like it has Parkinson's, twiching and jerking all over the place.  It's been that way for over two months since the last update.

Exactly! The LNAV is honestly at a freeware plane level, and people worry about EFB…

Well, they did say that the EFB is in its final leg of testing. 

I do wonder, though, how many legs this has. Sounds like a centipede to me. 😄

You can definitely tell PMDG is still coasting by on their previously earned reputation under the ESP-platform, seeing how some people defend them and hold them in such high regards, like they are still the crème de la crème of flight simulation.

However, while the 737 is a solid addon, it's honestly such a barebone entry. We're at the cusp of MSFS 2024 and it's the only commercial jet without an EFB at this point and it's still not even close, apparently. Just sitting there fiddling with the CDU for every setting is clunky in comparison to literally every other addon plane.

And seems people still have issues with core functionality of the plane, like LNAV as mentioned.

At this point, the plane overall isn't even on the podium for the top in-depth airliners for MSFS, in my opinion.

Oh to dream…I loved flying that quirky turboprop in FSX

Agreed, it’s quite bad actually.
