PMDG Shares Details on Boeing 737 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

PMDG’s CEO Robert Randazzo offered an update and new details about the launch of the developer’s Boeing 737 airliners for MSFS 2024.

“I am really happy with the rate of advancement we are making (finally!) on the 2024 upgrades for the 737. This is not a full product rebuild, but a reconstruction to make the product fully compatible with MSFS 20204. Along the way, there are some areas we are touching because our work on 737MAX has given us some improvements that can be easily shared with 737NG, so those are being stitched in as a value-add for our MSFS 2024 customers. Previews for this new update are not far off and we are working as quickly as we can to get you the finished product so that you can return to flying the 737NG but in the new MSFS2024 platform!”

We also hear that the MSFS 2020 version of the 737s is being added to the Operation Center 3. It’ll likely come next week.

An updaye (build 121) has also been released for the Boeing 777 like focusing on “cleanup details.”
