Third-party developers had news to share about upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator add-ons including an aircraft and scenery.
We start with PMDG, which provided a rather sizable package of updates about its products. Here’s a summary.
An update is coming to the entire Boeing 737 line including “fixes, tuning, and improvements” including tweaks to “improve stability of control-related functions such as pitch, yaw, roll, and thrust.” It should come in a few days followed by another “to bring greater stability to the thrust channel when operating under A/T.”
The 737-900 is being prepared for beta testing, with the “best guess” for release in mid-November.
The process to release the 737 line on the official marketplace will start “soonish” but PMDG is going at it slowly to make sure the product is mature.
As Asobo and Microsoft are still working on compatibility for C++/WASM projects on the Xbox, PMDG is waiting for that process to be sorted before releasing (actually re-releasing) the DC-6 on the console. After that is done, it’ll work in concert with Microsoft to ensure that the 737s are also compatible.
Last but not least, a juicy bit regarding the 777.
