July 18, 20241 yr PMDG 737 for MSFS (PC/MP-PC/MP-Xbox): We pushed an update series yesterday that unfortunately do not have clean change logs. These updates are primarily focused on bringing over the stability improvements that we have used in the 777 to tame the dreaded TA/RA freeze, along with a half dozen other freezes that magically appeared in the 737 line after the SU15 update. As with the 777, we know there are still others that are being hunted, and this work continues so expect further updates to follow as well. We have also made some optimizations to the airplane to improve performance and bought in a few small issue fixes, but I don't have a list of them as most of the fixes happened outside of the tracking system during 777 development. (We found problems in our core code during 777 development so those fixes then get brought into 737 at the same time in order to solve the problem globally... unfortunately that data didn't get tracked well...so... no change list. ) The Marketplace updates for the current batch of changes have been pushed today, and we anticipate it will take appx 2 weeks for them to work their way through the Marketplace digestive system. We expect more 737 updates as we continue to squash 777 issues- and eventually (next couple of months) we will also begin back-porting some of the major structural changes from 777 back to the 737. These will include the new navdata format, updated lateral path solving, updated autopilot roll modes, updated tablet, bug/feature fixes and more. I realize that many developers would re-bundle these changes to a two year old product as 2.0 and hold out the collection plate- but we still don't consider the 737 to be a "complete" airplane. From our vantage point we still have not cleared the last hurdles that will allow us to end the "early adopter" period for the 737, as we haven't finished our deliverables timeline on that airplane, because we transferred development of some of the key features over to 777, figuring we'd back-port them to 737 when 777 is completed. That process will happen over the next few months... so fun times ahead for 737 owners as we bring in new features to keep the airplane looking and feeling fresh and current. Since a few will ask: No, I have no information that I am prepared to share regarding Max. When I do, I will.
