quick question…i just purchased it…got the activation key, etc…but where is the link to downlad ? i will receive it per email ? thanks

At least a 2080Ti? That’s steep. I guess not many have that kind of hardware. I only have a 2080. How is performance on lower end hardware?

Fun little aircraft :slight_smile: I hope everyone gets the chance to fly it soon!

Yes, that doesn’t make sense. I have a 2070 Super and it works fine with the FBW A20N which is supposed to be more demanding than the 737.

I wonder when it makes it to official store anyone will notice the specs. The are recommended rather than Minimum so maybe i5 is OK? The DC6 (for comparison) shows min and recommended specs although both specs seem lower requ that 737.

It says recommended. There currently isn’t a ‘min’ spec listed (like on the DC6 page, which lists both recommended & minimum).

First impressions…

It’s a nice solid addon. Good quality and detail. Has few issues interfacing with hardware, as It’s not working out of the box with TCA stick. Probably just configurations.

What I will say though, It’s not blowing me away. I was expecting more from PMDG. It’s missing the magic I’ve come to expect with them over the years. I can’t put my finger on what’s missing. It just feels like it’s lacking…

Today is one of the greatest days in Flight Sim history.

Yes I love the CRJ and the MadDog because of the cool retro-futuristic aerodynamic and stylish looks and the beautyful cockpits and iconic rear-mounted engine nacelles and sharp angled T-tail.

But I am so used to fly the classic Boeing 737 that I immediately felt at home here:

Take a seat on this comfy cozy artificial fur, and enjoy the well-known and beloved Boeing FMC, Boeing autopilot, and everything else Boeing (yes I still don´t know how to program the Airbus autopilot and how to correctly handle an Airbus, only Fenix can change that…)

Schhhhhhhhhhh hush little Clarice! The lambs have stopped screaming now because this is Nvidia real-fur™ rendering!

Ready for roll-out, but it will probably take 40 minutes for the first initialisation:

FINALLY an airliner I can handle without watching 4 hours of YouTube tutorial videos, sitting into the cockpit afterwards and thinking: “Hmm. Too bad but I still don´t know how to program that FMC or how to use this autopilot because I have not written a step-by-step tutorial while watching the tutorial videos! Let´s grab a notebook and a pencil and start all these tutorial videos all over again!” ----- because it´s a Boeing :smiley:

And we all love Boeing and are used to her systems and FMC and knobs and switches since 20 years!

(To the Airbus and all these cool T-tail jetliners from the eighties and nineties and whatnot - you are still loved so don´t be sad.)

Hi,
same here. I feel a bit underwhelmed after all the hype. Having issues with my Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo setup, especially the landing gear.

They didn’t fix the authentication issues, the 2FA is still causing issues. What a mess.

it took about 10 minutes for mine to come through but now I am stuck on the required two factor authentication that gets stuck. No luck

same here…error with sending authentification code, and when it’sd there, it’s not downlodaing, it’s circling and circling but nothing…what can we do ?

Same here now. Can’t get the download link to work.

Anybody knows if PMDG will make a b777 study level aircraft for MSFS?
Thanks

Hi,
It took me four different authentication codes before it finally worked. But eventually it did. Patience. :wink:

i got the authentifictaion code…along with the licence code…pressed VERIFY, but nothing comes…are you having the same ?

where to save a exported simbrief flightplan so that i can import it into the fms? all i can find are directions for ms store owners, but nothing for steam?

no one is telling us this but Chrome is blocking the required pop up!

make sure you allow this

Didn’t you read the forums? Cptn. Randazzo himself:

Again, I apologize profusely for the holdup- we appreciate your patience and your humor during this disruption. We are working closely with our back-end vendor and they are doing a good job of supporting us through this failure mode. The moment they sign off on going live, we will.
