Not directly responsive to the original question, but assignment of the spoiler axis to a Thrustmaster HOTAS slider works fine on my setup. I can't help with regard to the buttons.

Works fine here. You might want to open a support ticket with PMDG. The one or two times I have had a problem with one of their planes, they were able to help me sort it out quickly. Good luck.

Sorry, Rob, but me, too. I didn't switch to FS2024 for the first few months, so I can't speak to that. I have not been satisfied with most of the default aircraft and so stick to payware for the most part. I have no clue why I haven't had problems, but run MSFS as clean as possible with the minimum number of Community add-ons, and only a few bits of support software. My system was purchased in 2022 and wasn't at the cutting edge back then. I do have to limit stuff like traffic and run at moderate graphics settings between medium and high. I run at 2K, capped at 30 fps, and in HDR, but it all fits in the 8K of VRAM. I don't have any third party airports because I learned years ago that this can cause all sorts of problems, but have not had performance issues with Fenix, PMDG, etc. Most all of the problems I have had along the way have been due to user error on my part. This is hugely complex software that works very well if used with a bit of discretion.

I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but this post on the PMDG support forum provides some useful information regarding one aspect of the problem, namely possible issues related to the presence of other add-ons in the Community folder: https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/390136-please-assist-us-understanding-wasm-crashes-better-even-if-you-do-not-see-them?p=390730#post390730 While not as definitive as one might like, the results do suggest that the frequency of WASM crashes is correlated to the total number of add-ons present in the Community folder. I keep my Community folder pretty clean and have had no WASM crashes in FS2024, but if I did, I would empty everything out other than the subject aircraft and see how it goes. But that's just me. Others might find better, easier ways of debugging the problem. Cleaning out caches might help, too. Of course, someone might have better data than was collected by PMDG. Please share so we can all learn. PS It is tempting to say, "It worked last week without crashing, so if it doesn't work this week, I know it's the fault of the most recently installed add-on.", but that might not be the case. If nothing else, the data seem to suggest that the scale of the problem is defined by interactions between the add-ons as much as it is by the add-ons themselves. K.I.S.S. may well be the best advice of all.

Published April 1?

Unless we're shown some evidence, let's not.... So much speculation, so little in the way of facts.

Has the 737 been released yet? I thought it was only the 736, 738, and 739 so far. With regard to the overshoots, no, I can't say I have observed this in MSFS 2020 (737) or 2024 (738). I fly the intercept at Flaps 5 speed, and it seems to work fine so far as I can tell.

It's available in the Market Place. Looks very fine.

Does anyone know whether or not a discount will be available for owners of the current BSQ Analog Caravan? Thanks.

No discernable problems in getting started today in the southeastern US. Could also be a CDN issue with regard to the reported failures. Presumably this will be cleared up "soon".

Wait, what? If one can't tell if the sound package is installed just by listening then why is one even bothering to install the sounds? Why is it necessary to confirm installation if there's so little difference Thanks.

This post goes back to the end of 2024 and reports a problem in MS2020. At the very end, there are two recent responses pertaining to the new 738, which briefly report contradictory results. Are there any posts that specifically address the new add-on?

It appears that there might be multiple sources of the "wobble" phenomenon, of which Chaseplane may only be one. Perhaps this is a good moment to remind everyone that the PMDG 737 Introduction manual has a section on Simulator Settings, Limitations and Compatibility Simulator Settings, Limitations and Compatibility - PMDG 737 Introduction that states in part In addition, it includes a discussion of assistance settings that includes a note that reads as follows: Perhaps it would be good for those who experience what they feel is anomalous behavior (e.g., wobble) to start the debugging process from a state that is consistent with these known limitations.

I haven't seen anything like this. Otherwise empty community folder? Turbulence setting? PMDG support ticket? Best wishes.

No, should it? Just had a totally amazing flight today, my first full A to B journey in the new B738. Totally astounding how well the system performs. Life changing experience. OK, maybe not, but still very satisfying.

Oops. Got scooped by this report on page 16 of a previous thread Now we know for sure.

Here's the link [22DEC25] PMDG 737-800NG for MSFS 2024 to appear in Microsoft Marketplace TODAY for PC users - PMDG Simulations Fast work by MS.

It's here folks. [21DEC25] Post Release Update & Thank You! - PMDG Simulations I hope everyone has a great holiday and most successful 2026. Best wishes from sunny Florida.

The manuals are now available for viewing at the link specified earlier. Here's the "What's new" list PMDG released its first 737 simulation in July 2003. With each successive Flight Simulator platform, we have not only integrated new host-system capabilities but also advanced the fidelity of our aircraft systems and flight modeling. This new release continues that progression, building on a legacy recognized by Boeing, with whom PMDG partnered to assist in developing a certified training solution. Below is an overview of what is new in this version: Cabin & Interior The cabin has been updated to the latest “Boeing Sky Interior” configuration and includes a fully functional Flight Attendant panel with nine selectable lighting modes. These modes can be activated manually or controlled via automated logic. FS2024-Native Modeling & Performance All airframe models have been rebuilt to utilize the MSFS 2024 extended LOD and modular architecture. The result is improved performance across the board, including higher frame rates and reduced memory consumption on both PC and console platforms. Most materials and textures were regenerated for FS2024, improving lighting behavior, particularly on transparent components and backlit controls. Despite the increase in detail and system depth, the 737 achieves performance levels exceeding those of default, less complex aircraft. Flight Model The entire flight and ground model has been updated to MSFS 2024 specifications. Feedback from type-rated 737 pilots within our development team has been incorporated to refine handling characteristics. Special focus was given to edge-of-the-envelope behavior. For example, an engine-out landing at the maximum demonstrated crosswind component (33 knots) is now achievable within the model’s aerodynamic envelope. Flight Deck Updates The cockpit features a fully new mesh, high-resolution texture set, and reworked lighting using modern reflective-material properties. Numerous components are now position-adjustable, and animation density has been significantly expanded. Optional equipment, such as the Avtech Tyee chronograph, MMR units, and the updated Gables G6992 Transponder/TCAS, allows users to configure the aircraft to match a variety of real-world operator setups. Additional stowage and interaction points have been added, enabling placement of personal items such as a flight bag, jacket, or beverage, contributing to a more operationally authentic environment. Exterior Improvements Landing gear assemblies, engine nacelles, and wings have been rebuilt in detail. Control-surface animations and wing-flex behavior have been refined for improved realism. Freighter variants (BCF/BDSF) feature all-new, fully modeled cargo bay interiors. Systems Refinements All major systems underwent a detailed review and update. Many refinements reflect subtle behaviors observed on the actual 737. For example, minor fluctuations in the CLB/DES rate indicator may occur during small cabin-pressure disturbances—such as those caused by a lavatory flush—mirroring real-aircraft nuances. Sound Environment The audio package has been completely re-engineered using extensive aircraft-mounted recordings. Every switch, relay, and mechanical component has its own spatialized 3D sound source. Much of this work was performed by a sound engineer with 737 flight experience, with additional validation from maintenance and ramp personnel. External engine-start audio, for example, was tuned based on feedback from ground crews familiar with the exact acoustic signature. Users may select between a standard sound profile and a noise-reduction headset simulation, the latter offering a more representative cockpit environment.

We are proud to mention that Boeing incorporated some of the deep-core simulations used in this product into one of its professional training products.

Good news. PMDG publishes its documentation for all to see. PMDG DOCUMENT CENTER - Overview If you click on "Aircraft Manuals", you will see the corresponding links to all of the current PMDG fleet. Presumably on Thursday or shortly thereafter, the 2024 documents for the 737 family will become available, and everyone can view the list of new features mentioned above. No need to make a purchase decision without that information. For what little it's worth, I'm going to purchase the 738 at full price in spite of owning only the 2020 version of the 737. PMDG has in recent years demonstrated its technical preeminence by becoming a development partner with Boeing in creating training materials for RW pilots. PMDG earned Boeing's business, and if PMDG's products are good enough for them, they're certainly good enough for the likes of me. Enjoy the holidays in your new 738s!

I have used the app for some time now. Works fine.

How did this aspect of the OP's specification work out with respect to these glorious monitors? Are VRR monitors available in this price range, and if not, what do these things cost?

For those of us who want D-ATIS from airports in FAA-land, there's an app for that on iOS. Strangely enough it's called ATIS App. There's also ATISVIEW that appears to cover the world. Have a good weekend.

Could this be clarified? The Ops Center (currently on version 3) is used to install/maintain the various PMDG add-ons and liveries, as well as providing a way to submit support requests. How would this be related to ACARS, etc.? Thanks.

"Only" 48 hours late. My bad. Thanks for the correction.
