Well that lav occupancy thing moves me … not. 
Hope they are working on moving all those customization options to the EFB. While I was overwhelmed when they first offered such array of options decades ago but by now I wish I can set this all through the EFB instead of clicking through tons of subpages … 

just my 2 cents to this topic

Yep, it's a pain when you go through 20 pages looking for an option then find out you missed it on page 2...

You probably don’t change the options for each flight, do you? Going through the 20 pages now and then is rather fun for me and I’m always amazed about how many options are available. This addon is still one of my favorites and it performs so smoothly and reliably in MSFS 2024.

Are the livery specific options working automatically?  I installed and loaded a recent UAL livery with the SSW and it had the Honeywell MCP.  That can't be correct right?  Honeywell MCP hasn't been installed for many years.

I actually have the EFB disabled in the PMDG 737. I prefer using the FMS to set everything up. I have left the EFB active in the 777F because it is in a nice, out of the way position by default, but I do not use it.

It would depend if they had the right configs in the first place. I have no idea about United but know some of the Jet2 older 737NGs do still have the Honeywell MCP.

Touchdown sounds being added gets my vote. Sometimes I land smoothly and can't tell if I landed:)

Who’s that guy JBrown…? 😁

Good to see sound updates, particularly for landing. 

is this the second update since release…? Pretty good pace for a shop like PMDG, I think.

I would say James if he did the sounds. however the lavatory, I am clueless ...

United has the old MCPs in a good amount of the older NGs.

I will say the default United livery config file isn’t correct. There a lot of things that are wrong.

None of PMDGs default livery configs ever were correct.  Ours was almost 50% wrong.

Does this include the 'Verified' liveries?

Yes. Take Ryanair, or TUI always in trk mode instead of hdg. Autoland was wrong, radio panel, engine cutoffs to name a few.
