October 25, 20241 yr I’ve been flying the ifly 737 now in VR for 2 weeks… it is awesome, very immersive in VR for sure especially on take off… I’ll update my PMDG 737 and give it do anyway. … I love their 777 Regards Paul EGCC

Go to C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsof t.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\package s and delete the PMDG-aircraft-738 directory Download a fresh copy and install again making sure you run the installer as administrator. Right click and select run as administrator. Reboot the PC after the installation After rebooting use the PMDG Operations Center to update the product. The problem is that after you do all that, if you update navdata in Navigraph Hub before FIRST loading each updated aircraft in MSFS, you'll have to do it all over again. THE MOST IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PMDG UPDATE IS: DO NOT USE NAVIGRAPH HUB TO UPDATE NAVDATA FOR THE 73'S. After installing the PMDG update/s launch each model you own in MSFS and update navdata using the EFB - after you do that if you open Navigraph Hub you'll find the 73's no longer exist in Hub. By not including an impossible-to-miss NOTAM with this update PMDG has created a support issue that didn't need to happen. i7-6700k • Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 • 32GB DDR4 2666 • EVGA FTW ULTRA RTX3080 12GB

I did not update via the Navigraph Hub (which btw did not include the 737 after the 737 update from OC) There was a update to the Navigraph hup after i installed the PMDG update Still doesnt work here - not bothering the whole reinstall now Michael Moe Michael Moe
October 25, 20241 yr I think I'm going to remove Navigraph data from the 737 using Hub before I install the update...

October 25, 20241 yr After flying with ifly 737 max, there is no way I could go back to the pmdg 737. it's so much better even in its "alpha" state
October 25, 20241 yr ON my second flight, no issues at all, AP working fine, tracking heading, no problems at all.

October 25, 20241 yr Loving the new update. Breathed some new life into the 737. Doing a Southwest flight from ONT-OAK as we speak, working flawlessly.

October 25, 20241 yr There is also people with 777 issue now so might be server related who knows Michael Moe Michael Moe
October 25, 20241 yr FWIW: I have found that restarting the sim after installing Nav Data via the EFB resolves the spinning wheel that appears after installing and reloading plane. ALL my PMDG planes (entire fleet) now updated with new nav data format AND no spinning circles! -B

October 25, 20241 yr Everything installed OK here, but first attempt of a flight in the 738 I had a spinning wheel in the EFB. The only thing that I had changed since I did the install was moving the plane out of the community folder and using Addon Linker. I moved it back into the community folder and it loaded OK. I wonder if some of the install issues might also be related...
