PMDG has issued several updates for their entire Boeing 737 product line for MSFS. The details of the update were shared on the PMDG forums by Robert Randazzo. The update adds multi-role radios and also changes the ground handling of the aircraft. The 737 uses MSFS’ default ground handling, something that the team is continuously tweaking and fine-tuning. The update also fixes several model and texture issues.
Randazzo also shared that the upcoming 737-900 has finished testing and the team is working on cleaning up a few last things as the release is impending. He also shared a brief update on the Universal Flight Tablet that was scheduled for release after the summer of ’22. Though his update is a bit technical, he states that work on the tablet is still on-going and the team has had to develop several new ways to send data between the tablet and the aircraft as the team is waiting for input from Asobo on some related matters.
Last but not least, the PMDG team also has an update for their DC-6 ready. This update is currently awaiting a simulator update due to some requirements, and more details will be shared on a later date.
