The PMDG team has again made improvements to the recently released Boeing 777-300ER for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The update 2.00.41 focuses the most on system improvements, sound improvements and the geometry of the aircraft. In addition, Robert Randazzo talked about future updates for the 737 series as well in this Forum post.
PMDG 777-300ER Update
The update for the 777-300ER brings many changes, especially to the geometry of the aircraft, resolves system freezes and improves the sounds of the APU.
The most notable change was the bugfix of tyre pressure, which was present in the 2.00.39, resulting in millions of PSI of pressure in your landing gear. In this version, the issue is no longer present.
Speaking of issues no longer present, the team also resolved system freezes, when you selected a runway-specific STAR without the runway selected.
The aircraft also received fixes to the APU sounds and minor geometry fixes in the cabin, like the fix of reading light clipping, door 2 interface joint and even minor updates to the drawing of the VOR needle pointer.
You can update the aircraft to the latest version via the PMDG Operations Center v2 app.
Everything Pending on Marketplace
The PMDG’s Robert Randazzo mentioned that the 777-300ER is currently pending approval on the Flight Simulator Marketplace. The team hopes to release this aircraft here by the 8th of August at the latest.
The 737 Series should also receive updates on the Marketplace soon, which will bring the Marketplace build to the same quality as the PMDG Store version of the aircraft.
New 777 Features in 737 Series
The PMDG team also aims to bring all the new features found in the 777-300ER over to the older, yet still popular 737 Series for Microsoft Flight Simulator. This work should take place after the release of 777 Freighter version.
The team anticipates moving the 737 over to the new Navdata format and improving the Universal Flight Tablet in the aircraft. The improvements to the 3D model of the aircraft, especially the cockpit door and improved cabin with the seatbelt signs animations, for example, is currently under discussion of the PMDG team.
