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

im pretty sure the virgin 744s were wrong too.  John can confirm. 

A330 driver showed a typical RyanAir option setup in one of his videos which I have always copied.

I always edited the instrument panels anyway to my liking. Correct me if I am mistaken, isn't it based off of that particular tail number and not simply just the livery? For those commenting and saying that it is not correct, is it based off of your experience in that specific tail number, just in general, or does it not matter? Also, it can be that the data they collected was from that particular tail number but the config is based off an earlier panel that has since changed.

Your argument is a bit of a straw man. 
 

Do you actually think Pmdg keeps tabs on specific tail numbers?

Let’s take your argument as a reality and say PMDG does monitor specific tail numbers. 
 

Most airlines have things that are considered fluid like MCPs or engine start levers/switches but avionics wise and FMC software versions are not the things that typically vary by tail number. If they do, they usually are a result of a fleet wide update/upgrade and so as the changes take place, there may be different versions on different planes within the same fleet. 
 

The things that I noticed that are wrong on the pmdg “verified” cockpit set up for my airline are things that are standard on all 737s in my airline. That means that there shouldn’t be a “verified” logo because they CLEARLY got the info from someone who has no idea what they are talking about. 
 

This experience is from flying the 737 at my airline and seeing a lot of different jets. 
 

Different airline use different methodologies of course.

Just so we are clear. I was, in no way, being argumentative. I was posing questions for clarification and trying to get a better understanding of how all that works. I have seen different configs for the same type in the same airline, so I was trying to figure out if they are taking that into account or not.

Personally I didn't read your post as anything other than a question.

No idea why ahsmatt7 saw it as an argument (even in the philosophical sense).  I'm not sure how a question can constitute a straw man position.

Yes, although in our case ("verified" livery, large US airline) most of the errors applied fleet-wide anyway. 

Not that I think it really matters, just pointing out that I don't think you can ever really expect these kinds of things to be real-world accurate.

My apolgies, I never thought you were arguing like throwing a temper tantrum. More arguing in the realm of debate and furthering conversation. I didn’t think there was malice behind what your were saying. 
 

My apologies for coming off as if I was making it sound like you were doing something wrong or had ill intent. I’m truly sorry. 
 

That being said, now I’m curious, when I fly the same tail number in real life, I’m going to take note and let PMDG know the exact configuration! 

I got the B737/800 from MarketPlace and still dont have any of both updates.-

Unfortunately, they come out when they come out. That’s up to asobo. Hoping that they come out soon for you!

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 assume, mind just you just a guess, that the 737 is plagued by the same issue as the 777 and the I-Fly 737

The way MS2024 reads liveries somehow prevents livery specific settings to be loaded automatically. 

In the 777 and the IFLY you have to set the livery registration of the repaint in the aircraft customization in MS2024's aircraft selection menu as well and not only pick the repaint you want to use. 

I automatically do this with the PMDG737 as well just to be sure and never had a problem with the correct cockpit setups loading.

From today the update is available at the 2024 Market Place, I downloaded it, and it says ready to install, but the install process doesnt seem to begin, although reloading the sim several times.

Why download? It works fine when you stream it, right?
