Robert Randazzo, the CEO of PMDG, has once again taken to their forums. He gave a new development update on the PMDG 737 for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Robert said that if everything goes to plan, we can expect the -600 to release next Friday. Initially, they planned the release for the 20th of June. A couple of months ago Randazzo said that this variant will cost approximately 50$. He hasn’t confirmed that yet.
As said in our last article on the matter, the delay in the development of this variant was caused by works on the new Lateral Flight Path Model. The PMDG 737-600 will feature this Lateral Flight Path Model along a significantly updated vertical path mode. Thanks to this the add-on will behave like its real-world counterpart.
Along with this announcement, Robert updated us on the progress of the development of the -800 variant. The developers have made several equipment changes to the cockpit to reflect the systems differences between the smaller variants. PMDG is expecting to release the 737-800 variant in/around mid august. Robert also stated that they are making good progress on the previously announced EFB.
If you wish to learn more about PMDG and their 737, I suggest you have a look at George’s first impressions of the 737-700 for MSFS here.
